This is a non-comprehensive list of the primary equipment that I use as of February 2012. I definitely advocate that people use whatever they're comfortable with, and am not a brandist, so I avoid, like the plague, conversations about why Canon is better than Nikon (even though it is). Please feel free to email me with any questions about this or other equipment.

And finally links to B&H Photo and Amazon are in parentheses; any purchases you make through those links go to support this blog and its costs of operation, and for that I am greatly appreciative. Both are a highly respected dealer and often have the best prices on photo and video equipment.

Digital Cameras:

Canon Rebel T2i :: On my T2i I have attached an Opteka Battery Pack Grip / Vertical Shutter Release (at Amazon) and Opteka Professional Wrist Strap (at Amazon) about which I wrote a review (and later a short update), which can be found here. (Canon EOS Rebel T2i at Amazon)
Panasonic LX3 :: My post about my self-made water resistant housing for this camera can be found here. (Panasonic DMC-LX3 at Amazon)

Film Cameras:

Canon A-1 :: My favorite 35mm camera. I love everything about it. This camera and I have a long history together. It's gone more places with me than any other camera I own.
Canon Rebel 2000 :: My first SLR.
Canon EOS 3 :: This was the last great film camera to be manufactured by Canon. While in college, I dreamt about one day owning this camera, though it's price tag of $850ish was well above my pay grade. Thanks to the digital revolution, I picked up a gently used copy for 1/10 of that in 2008.
Mamiya GS645S Rangefinder
Minolta SRT 202 :: Photos taken of Greenwood Cemetery, with this camera are here.
Minolta SRT MC-II :: My post describing how I disassembled and repaired this camera (a metal shim was floating about and obstructing the focusing screen) can be found here.
Agfa Billy Record :: My post with photos of and from this camera is here.

Lenses:

Canon FD :: FD 20/2.8 SSC; Quantaray 24/2.5; FD 35/3.5 SC; FDn 50/1.4; FD 100/2.8; FDn 200/4
Canon EOS :: Tokina AT-X Pro 12-24mm f/4 II (at Amazon); EF 20mm f/2.8 USM (at Amazon); EF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM Macro (at Amazon); Tokina AT-X Pro 35mm f/2.8 Macro (Review) (at Amazon); EF 50mm f/1.8 II (at Amazon); EF 135mm f/2.8 with Soft Focus (Test Photos) (at B&H Photo); EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM (at Amazon).

Tripods and Heads:

Bogen 3001BN Legs :: I have used this same set of legs for about ten years now. They have traveled to several countries, and I haven't been particularly kind to them, but they press on. This product has been replaced by its Manfrotto equivalent: Manfrotto 190XDB 3 Section Aluminum Tripod at Amazon.
Manfrotto 460MG Pan-Tilt Head :: (Review) Manfrotto 460MG Magnesium Camera Head at Amazon.
Slik Mini-Pro V Tripod :: A quick note on this - it comes with a pan-head, but that is interchangeable with other heads. (Review) Slik Mini-Pro V Tripod with 2-Way Pan/Tilt Head at Amazon.
Velbon RUP-40 Monopod :: Velbon RUP-40 4-Section Monopod at Amazon.

Bags and Other Equipment:

Mountainsmith Borealis AT Camera Backpack (at Amazon).
LowePro Stealth Reporter AW D200 :: Lowepro Stealth Reporter D200 AW at Amazon.
LowePro Off Road
LowePro Edit 100 :: Lowepro Edit 100 Camera Shoulder Bag at B&H Photo.
Yongnuo YN 468-II Speedlite Flash (at Amazon) and Yongnuo RF-603 Wireless Flash Trigger (at Amazon).
Camera Mount for my Kayak :: I have constructed two camera mounts for my kayak; one a very simple mount that sits on the fore-deck, and the other an elevated mount that provides better perspective.
Camelbak Lobo :: After realizing my need for a hydration pack for running and hiking, I decided on the Camelbak Lobo for reasons explained in the review. (Camelbak Lobo 100 oz Hydration Pack at Amazon)
Welding Glass as a Neutral Density Filter :: My write-up about using welding glass as a neutral density (ND) filter can be found here.
