Hi there and thanks for taking a peek .. it's not really a competition .. I just want to see what other folks are using .. you know the saying - it's not the equipment - it's the person ..appreciate the comments

I carry mine around in a back pack and it weighs in at 9 kg - lord knows what yours would but of course you don't need to take them all with you. I am now jealous. Cheers, Bernz

Hi Bernie - thank you for comments .. I have a couple of back packs that I use .. I usually don't carry a lot of lenses with me .. I pretty much know what I am going to use .. appreciate the kind words

Hi Angela -that is about all you need .. very funny - I just take what I need .. thank you

The treatment is to take two pictures every four hours and come back and see me in the morning

Next please

Hi Steve .... I mean doctor .. that's pretty good ... thanks

Hi Hadianto - you should see my notes .. I thinks I have one on just about every lens .. thanks for taking the time to look and comment

Hi Haywood, you know what they say about a man with many watches, don't you? He can never tell you the correct time. Well does the same apply to so many lenses, how do you decide which to put on you lens when you go out. only envious I've been drooling over a couple of lenses lately, still dreaming.

I love it! Manual focus prime lenses are my favorite

OMG!!!! I have one camera and 2 lenses....

This should have been a submission for the 7 Deadly Sins assignment! However, would it be gluttony on Hayward's part, or Envy on mine?

That old adage still rings true, though: the more equipment you bring, the less you get!

Good question from BillMac. You're stranded on a deserted island with the Swedish bikini team and you can only have one lens...which one is it?

Hello Hayward, thank you for the invitation. My gear is part manual,part digital, and aside from a short visit with a Nikon all have been Pentax. I've used wet processing and a digital workspace. But my most reliable gear is between my ears.

my excuse is that I don't have the $ to get all that stuff. But what I do have in great supply is jealousy...If you got a macro in there somewhere feel free to send it my way!

Yeah, why didn't youpost this in the lust assignment a couple of weeks back......would have been the winner I bet

YOU must have the best eyes ever. If I had manual only lenses, my style would be soft focus for sure! Another reasonj for me to LOVE your work. kuddos.
