My Nikon D80 DSLR

My main Camera is a Nikon D80 DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera with a D80 double battery grip that allows shutter use in landscape and portrait mode, the battery grip excepts 2 x Nikon batteries which when fully charhed will last for days of constant use, the DSLR provides me with a lot of highly functional features and it is a lovely camera to use.  The lens which spends most time on the camera is an Nikon 18-135mm F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX IFED lens with a lens hood, I also own a Nikon D70 DSLR camera and that one was my first introduction into DSLR cameras, I don’t really use this camera too much now but bring it out for special occasions!

At present I have the following DSLR lenses which provide a variety of differing varieties of photography scenarios;

My Present Lenses

• Nikon 18-70mm ED Kit Lens (fantastic all round lens).
• Sigma 70-300mm APOms Lens (great zoom capability with a great macro ability as well).
• Sigma 105mm DG EX Macro Sigma Lens (nothing can beat this lens for its macro capability).
• Sigma 18-200 F3.5 – 6.3 DC lens (another great all round lens that stays attached to my D70 most of the time).
• Nikon 18-135 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX IFED
• Nikon 18-105 F3.5/5.6 G AFS DX IFED (this one has just been bought (July 2012) and is stuck to the D80 at the moment).

Nikon Speedlight SB 800

I have a Nikon Speedlight SB 800 flash system which really is a must if you intend to take images in difficult light conditions i.e. Wedding Photography, Portraiture Photography and christenings etc.

My Manfrotto PRO B Tripod and Manfrotto 322 Grip Action Ball Head

My Lowepro AW Mini Trekker and my Billingham 335 Canvas Bag

A camera bag is an accessory which is often ignored yet provides fantastic benefits to its users. The main function of a camera bag is to protect your camera from external aspects such as the extreme heat of the sun, rainfall, dust, and most importantly scratches. Moreover, a camera bag safeguards your camera from the possibility to incur heavy damage if you accidentally knock into something or when the camera has been by chance dropped 🙂
