Some of my favorite cameras through the years. They are all still very functional.

This was my first DSLR. It was a great starter for me. I have since given it to my grandson.

I like this camera a lot. DX autofocus lenses work very quickly on this body. Great resolution. I carry it almost everywhere I go.

This will be my next camera body. It has a bigger monitor screen, a higher megapixel count, and a very professional setup. I can also use my current lenses.

Lenses
Lenses will make or break your photos. I have three main lenses that I use at the moment. That could change at any time.

I have been amazed by this lense. For a larger lense, i have no problem holding it and shooting without my tripod or monopod. It has super fast autofocus on my D5200.
Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 AF APO DG OS HSM Lens

How do I use a Quantaray QTB-7500a Flash - Canon FD Mount
Â
I picked this diffuser up on eBay. It is perfect for my quantaray flash. This type of diffuser is far better to get the softened effect than the plastic diffuser that comes with the flash.
