‣Panasonic DMC-GH2, the best digital back available to date for my lenses.
‣Olympus E-520. My first DSLR, still producing brilliant results.
‣Olympus OM-1. A perfect mechanical SLR.
‣Olympus XA2. A perfect point-and-shoot.
‣Zuiko 11-22 f2.8-3.5, Zuiko 14-54 f2.8-3.5 II lenses for Four Thirds. My day-to-day workhorses.
‣Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42 f/3.5-5.6. My most technically sophisticated lens for videography, my go-to lens for a lightweight standard zoom.
‣Zuiko 40-150 f4.0-5.6 for Four Thirds. Lightweight, quite sharp, some vignetting.
‣Asahi Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 (original 8 element version), with adapter to Four Thirds.
‣Tamron Adaptall 70-210 f3.8-4.0, with adapters to Olympus OM and Four Thirds. At $20, this is an incredible bargain if you’re willing to use a manual focus lens.
‣Zuiko 28mm f3.5, 50mm f1.8, 50mm f3.5 macro and 135mm f2.8 lenses for Olympus OM system, also with adapter to Four Thirds.

‣Fuji Velvia 50, Kodak Tri-X 400, digitized using a DSLR with macro lens on a copy stand.
‣Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod, with Markins Q10 head. A sawed-off center column for ease of use in the landscape.
‣Manfrotto 725B Digi tripod when light weight is a priority.
‣Induro AX213 with Manfrotto 486RC2 (beater tripod for things like drowning the tripod in a caustic salt lake)

Don’t think this to be a gospel of what I think a photographer should have. Some viewers are interested in gear, some are not. I like to maintain a list online of what I have and what I am using, but only as a curiosity. This may give you some insight into how I see. It probably won’t tell you anything necessary or useful.
