“攝影器材之多樣 摄影器材之多样 Photography Tools Diversity” #geekporn

I have a camera annex in my closet. You won’t see the Canon EOS 7D or the Canon EOS M here because those body is always with me in the camera bag. You also won’t see the 24-70 or the 17-40 here as those are semi-permanent fixture on the 7D and EOS M respectively. What you will find here are, from left to right (approximately):

 

 

 

 

1. Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite Flash. The perfect flash for the 100 f/2.8, but with limited use. Recommended if you do macro photography, otherwise it is a bit pricey. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/239656-USA/Canon_2357A002_...

 

 

 

 

2. Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens. Lightweight with amazing lens resolution. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183198-USA/Canon_2578A002_...

 

 

 

 

3. PocketWizard FlexTT5 Transceiver Radio Slave for Canon E-TTL II System. Before the Canon 600EX was introduced, this is the only way to do radio flash. Useful. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605720-REG/PocketWizard_80...

 

 

 

 

4. PocketWizard MiniTT1 Radio Slave Transmitter for Canon E-TTL & E-TTL II Systems. This one is mounted on the camera body. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/605713-REG/PocketWizard_80...

 

 

 

 

5. Canon Speedlite 430EX. Pretty good though I am letting my dad use it because differences in power output makes it difficult to do manual strobes with the 580EX. Now replaced by 430EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/571297-USA/Canon_2805B002_...

 

 

 

 

6. Canon Speedlite 580EX. Super bright goodness. Highly recommended. Now replaced by 580EX II: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/486706-USA/Canon_1946B002_...

 

 

 

 

7. Canon CP-E4 Compact Battery Pack. Improves flash recycle times by 3 times for the 580EX. Nothing special about it except that it houses 8 more AA batteries so I guess that it just cycles faster. If you use Ni-MH rechargeable batteries it should already be pretty fast. Though Ni-MHx12 is obviously super crazy fast. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498738-REG/Canon_1947B001_...

 

 

 

 

8. Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Autofocus Lens. The non-L lens which has image quality which rivals other L lenses. This is a must-buy. Good for macro as well as portraits. Highly recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/194451-USA/Canon_4657A006_...

 

 

 

 

9. Canon Angle Finder C. Allows you to adjust viewing angle while providing 1.25x to 2.5x switchable magnification. Super useful for doing macros and other odd camera placement when eyeing from the back is not really possible. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/183200-REG/Canon_2882A001_...

 

 

 

 

10. Canon EOS 10D. My first DSLR. 6.3 megapixel ACPS-C crop frame goodness. It is at its 60,000+ cycles and still going strong. Used as my spare as well as perms-loan to dad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_10D

 

 

 

 

11. Canon EOS 100. My first SLR bought by my dad when I went to Yale in 1995. It is my only film camera and yes it still works. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_100

 

 

 

 

12. Canon PowerShot G12. My point+shoot camera. Highly recommended for photographers but not recommended for amateurs, this shoots JPEG and RAW on SD cards. 10MP CCD sensor with the usual Av / Tv / Manual functions. But for amateurs it can be somewhat daunting—my dad gave up on it and gave it back to me. But he is using the 10D and loving it. This is why I told amateur photographers that they should just get a DSLR because it is easier. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/734743-REG/Canon_4342B001_...

 

 

 

 

13. Canon PowerShot G2. My first Canon P+S. I loved it. I don’t know if it still works but after moving back to Hong Kong I found something in the memory card taken in 2007. Super awesome. Recommended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_PowerShot_G

 

 

 

 

14. Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter. Before Canon got into the radio transmitting game, this is the only wireless off-camera flash controller. (although the MT-24EX also can do that up to 3 groups). The ST-E2 controls up to 2 groups. Super useful is that it emits AF-assist beam in very low-light conditions so I sometimes mount it on the camera even when I don’t use flash. Recommended. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/164264-REG/Canon_2478A002_...
