User:Ukexpat/Camera collection

My first camera back in the 70s was a trusty old manual, built-like-a-tank, Praktica. I upgraded to a Canon A-1, that was stolen from my London flat in 1990, and replaced (thanks to my insurance company) with a Canon T90.

My first digital camera was an Olympus D600L (the C600L in Europe), followed by a Canon EOS D30. I now use a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and several Canon EF lenses: EF 50mm f/1.4 , a 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM zoom, a 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM zoom, a 16-35mm f/2.8L USM zoom and a 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM zoom. I also have a couple of 550EX flashes, a Canon ST-E2 flash transmitter and the Canon Lens Converter FD-EOS (new in box). All my recent scans have been done using a Canon CanoScan 9900F scanner.

A couple of years ago I found a new-in-box ("NIB") A1 on eBay to replace the one that was stolen and since then I have been slowly adding other cameras to my collection:

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ As I use the term, "with papers" means at least the original manual and blank warranty card with matching serial #.
  2. ^ "New-in-box" or "NIB" means unused in factory condition, same as "new old stock" or "NOS".
