50+ and l have learnt a lot since joining flickr. Not just technique but ideas. Don't have a camera club too close to me but what with work and all I think this is enough for me for now.All comments on my photos are very much appreciated - bad comments as well as good - as I learn from this.

 

Kit.

Older kit but I still use it occasionally.

Olympus E450 - apparently one of the smallest DSLR's you can buy.

Olympus E lenses

14-42mm f3.5

40-150mm f4.5

Olympus OM lenses

50mm f1.4

50mm f1.8

75-150mm f4

300mm f4.5

 

Now I use Nikon D3300,

Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6

Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6

Nikon 35mm f1.8

Sigma 10-20mm f3.5

 

Moved on again in kit.

Nikon D7200

The same lenses as for the D3300 but looking now to consolidate to something along the lines of a 18-200mm or 18-300mm. Less to cart around :)

 

Advanced again to the D850 full frame. Early showings are that this camera is a whole new ball game in terms of capability & quality.

I purchased it with the 24-120 f4 & then bought a 14-24 f2.8 - lovely sharp lens. I already had the Sigma 150-600 full frame lens for my D7200 so no need to spend on a long telephoto.

Early days yet and so much to learn with it but it handles beautifully so the future looks bright.
