What I have used and What's in my bag
Over time, my gear choice has evolved based on my needs but also base on the practical fact that I cannot carry a full house anymore...
Nevertheless, you will find photographs on this site using all of the following gear:

Lenses change overtime depending on my needs. I have made a choice of lens for the present time that allows me to travel relatively light and get excellent quality shots for landscapes, birding and wildlife in general. The new Extenders III are really helping in this strategy.
If need be, I will tend to rent lenses I do not owned when I need a specific one for a special project.
