It's one picture. How are you going to use three camera bodies, four lenses and a flash all at once?

Anyway, it is nice to see someone still uses prime lenses. Good choices.

For different pictures in the coming categories

Yep primes only, zooms are worthless IMO (unless they are REALLY expensive and not worth it). And I only use the F5, sold the others but it's possible that I send in a picture made with the other soo that's why I listed them.

I've been through a lot with this gear, and I've just about worn out my second Domke bag to prove it

But it's important to remember that it's not the gear that takes great photos, it's the photographer.

Anybody can take snapshots.

Photographers make great photographs.

(that being said, don't expect me to trade in my trusty EOS-1n for a point-and-shoot...even if it is digital )

[Scotttheking]

Nikon Coolpix 3100

[MilkmanDan]

Canon S400. 4 MP. 3 x zoom. small and does a good shot.

[OreoCookie]

Now: Olympus E-20 (excellent price-performance, got it used for only $600)

Former equipment: Olympus C-4040 Zoom, Nikon F80 with Tokina 2.8/28-80, Nikon F50 with stock 35-70 mm lenses. Oh, every now and then, I also use my father's 40-year old ZeissIkon Contessa LK, mostly for bw.

[Lee33]

Canon 10D with a 16-35 F2.8 L lens.

some cheap kodak 5 megapixel point and shoot camera i borrowed froma friend. I was impressed for just a point and shoot camera. I had my pic of the Yosemite Valley blown up to 20"x30" and it looks very good.

I think I ultimately want a digital rebel

Agreed. I have the mountain of gear because it makes it easier for me to do what I want - and some of it is backup (the AE-1 and the N60)

agreed having a ton of gear is nice, but isn't there an argument for having only a few select pieces and "knowing" it like its part of your hand / eye?

with my fuji for instance, i can open my eyes about anywhere and tell you what will be in my viewfinder. personally i think that is more important than having 42 lenses and 10 bodies.
