Now, I know that pictures are more important than equipment, but I do like to use a variety of cameras. For my 6x6 work, I mainly use a Hasselblad 500c/m with 50mm f/4 Distagon, 80mm f/2.8 Planar and 150mm f/4 Sonnar lenses. I also have a Minolta Autocord TLR, which is good fun to use.

For my digital images, I have a Canon G3 4 meagapixel compact. In its day, it was one of the best compact digicams on the market, and is more than adequate for prints up to A4 size. My main frustration with it is the shutter lag: taking any sort of action shots is a bit of a hit-and-miss affair.

For 35mm, I use an Olympus OM4Ti with a Sigma 28–70mm zoom and Motor Drive 2. This was a bit of a bargain from a local camera shop: someone had traded it in for a digital SLR and I think they rather under-valued it.

Other cameras that don’t get much use these days include an old Voigtländer Vito CSR rangefinder, a Pentax Auto 110 SLR (with 24mm standard and 50mm telephoto lenses) and a Minolta 100 Zoom SLR (probably the biggest camera ever made to take 110 film!)

Film stock is mostly Fuji Velvia and Velvia 100, scanned on an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo.
