Canon EOS 5D mark IV | My second full-frame digital single-lens reflex camera, now with GPS. In the first year I owned this camera I took it to Vienna, Sicily, Metz, Nancy, Lyon, Turin, Tuscany, the Baltics and Puglia. | 31-01-2017 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM | I bought this lens in London. It is the oldest and only non L type lens I still own. In all honesty, I do not use it anymore. | 22-02-2008 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM | Wow! Speaking of sharp lenses. I use this lens for portraits a lot! | 07-01-2012 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM | I use this lens for wide angle landscape shots. In Greece I shot the theater of Epidaurus with it. Nice! | 14-01-2012 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM | This is my latest and greatest walk-around lens. I use this lens most of all, especially in low light conditions in museums. | 26-05-2014 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM | First shots taken in Italy are really very impressive. I use it and the extenders frequently. | 11-04-2014 to the present |
 |
Canon Extender EF 1.4x III | Extends my reach for the telezoom by a factor of 1.4. Great for taking shots of ceiling paintings in a large church. | 15-04-2014 to the present |
 |
Canon Extender EF 2.0x III | Extends my reach for the telezoom by a factor of two! | 13-04-2014 to the present |

 |
Hoya HD Protector filters | All my type L lenses are fitted with Hoya HD Protector filters. I do not use UV filters; it is just for protection from physical harm. | 27-05-2014 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 12mm II extension tube | The Canon EF 12mm extension tube magnifies the object in view and allows me to focus closer than the minimum focus distance of a lens. I use it occasionally for macro shots of flowers and such. | 15-05-2014 to the present |
 |
Canon EF 25mm II extension tube | The Canon EF 25mm extension tube magnifies the object in view and allows me to focus closer than the minimum focus distance of a lens. I use it occasionally for macro shots of flowers and such. | 03-06-2014 to the present |
 |
Hoya HD Circular Polarization filters | I use these occasionally for deeper blue skies and to alleviate the effects of glare ("Sunglasses for my lenses"). | 06-06-2014 to the present |
Old gear
 |
Sony Cyber-shot DSC P1 | My very first digital camera. Its first job was a trip to Florida. I took it on trips to Prague, The Dutch Antilles, Edinburgh, Iowa and Paris. It died on me in Ireland. | 17-12-2002 to 26-06-2003 |
 |

 |
Sony Cyber-shot H1 | I took this camera to Rome, London, Barcelona, Genoa, Monaco and Istanbul. Forgot this camera in a bar in Barcelona, came back for it and it was waiting for me behind the counter. | 25-08-2005 to 08-08-2007 |
 |

 |
Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM | This is the lens, from my wife's old analog camera, that got me started on D-SLR. | 20-08-2007 to 02-06-2009 |

 |
Canon EF 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 IS USM | An amazing lens, much better than I initially thought. Sold it to a guy who took *my lens* on a trip to Australia! | 27-02-2008 to 07-05-2011 |
 |

 |
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM | This used to be my favorite walk-around lens. Its only drawback is that it is not very good indoors in low-light conditions. Sold it to a professional photographer. | 19-04-2010 to 30-05-2014 |
 |
Canon EOS 5D mark III | My very first full-frame digital single-lens reflex camera. Its first duty was taking shots from a helicopter and a plane in the Grand Canyon. I loved it! |

 |
Canon GP-E2 | Very nice, this GPS unit allows me to insert Lat/Lon information directly into the meta data of individual pictures as I shoot them! Not needed after I bought the Canon EOS 5D mark IV. Sold it. | 30-12-2012 to 31-01-2017 |
