Geek. Pure and simple.

My current photo equipment:

Pentax *ist DL digital SLR

28-50mm f3.5 Sigma AF lens

50mm f1.7 Pentax-K prime MF lens

50-150mm f3.5 Sigma AF lens

28-300mm f3.5-6.3 ASP Tamron AF lens

K 2.8/16 Russian Zenitar fisheye MF lens

400mm f8 fixed MF "gun barrel" lens

650mm f8.5 Bell & Howell mirror reflex MF lens

2x teleconverter

Sunpak remote trigger external flash

...and also my "other" camera - a HP850 (backup - wife uses it these days)

All old slides are from my Dad's collection of over 2500 he took from around 1959 to the mid 1980's and have been digitised with a Plustek OpticFilm 7200i 35mm slide and film scanner however I did not use the inbuilt iSRD as it can not handle Kodachrome very well.

Any other miscellaneous print photos have been mainly scanned with a HP ScanJet 3300C

I mainly use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI to do post processing work.
