Manicouagan1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share #22 Posted August 3, 2007 I use four different setups depending on the subject: 1) For volleyball and basketball I use a Canon 1D Mark IIn with the 70-200mm f2.8 zoom. 2) For birds I use the same camera with a 400mm f5.6 with or without a 1.4x extender. 3) For Macro the same camera plus the old (nonUSM) 100mm Macro f2.8 plus EX580 flash. 4) For portraits the same camera with 28-70 f2.8 zoom plus EX580 flash on a Stroboframe with a Stofan Omnibounce.

Laki Posted August 3, 2007 Share #24 Posted August 3, 2007 nikon d2x with enough lenses, maybe too much though i have to say that i use it since i got the m8 only for the car races with long lenses like 2.8/300 or 4/200-400. for everything else the m8.

hankg Posted August 3, 2007 Share #25 Posted August 3, 2007 For now a Visoflex III with bellows and a couple of Rodenstock Rodagon enlarging lenses for product shots. Eventually this will get replaced by a DSLR with a macro and tilt/shift lens. We'll see what Canon and Leica come out with next year. Hartblei ( Hartblei Prototype Macro 4/120 TS ) is mounting the Zeiss 40/4, 80/2.8 and 120/4 Makro that were used on the Hasselblad V and Rollei 6008 in a tilt/shift mount with a 12 blade diaphragm. I loved the 120/4 on the Hasselblad but hated the pentagonal highlights from the 5 bladed diaphragm but Hartblei has solved that problem and added a very flexible tilt/shift mount. The 40 and 120 Macro with tilt/shift on a 35 DSLR would take care of all my SLR needs. In the mean time the Viso is getting the job done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns_ng Posted August 3, 2007 Share #26 Posted August 3, 2007 Well, with my M8 in Solms again, I am glad I have kept my R8/DMR. Since I have the DMR, I have hardly used my R3 and R6.2. I still use my M3 and M6. N.S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

topoxforddoc Posted August 3, 2007 Share #28 Posted August 3, 2007 R9 & DMR plus several lenses - favourites are 28-90AA, 180 cron and 280/4. Also my old trusty Pentax MX for when all the batteries fail. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Flesher Posted August 3, 2007 Share #29 Posted August 3, 2007 5D's with a variety of glass including TSE lenses. Also use 4x5, Arca F-Metric and Ebony 45SU, with lenses ranging from 65 to 450mm. Jack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted August 3, 2007 Share #30 Posted August 3, 2007 Man, Jack is a tough act to follow I shoot a 5d (only remaining Canon body now) and a DMR/R9 in addition to the M8. I wear all three a lot of the times when I'm shooting. I guess I hate switching cards The nice thing is that the 5d and the DMR share a lot of glass. I find I just can't give up a "full frame" camera... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted August 3, 2007 Share #32 Posted August 3, 2007 Not a pro, so couldn't justify the expense so... Sadly the D200 + lenses went to pay for the M8 + 2 lenses (so far). I have sacrificed the easy ability to shoot sports and wildlife (although I see one or two others, more talented than me have made a decent job of both). What I have gained is portability - which translates to many more pictures taken and taking photographs of people (my favorite subjects), in any situation (one of my lenses is a Nocti) - it's hard to see how this camera can be beat! Yes, I occasionally miss the D200, but regrets? No way! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodyspedden Posted August 3, 2007 Share #33 Posted August 3, 2007 For me the R9/DMR combination with (primarily) 19 cron, 35-70 Elmarit, 70-180 Elmarit 100 Macro Elmarit + Elpro, and the 105-280 Elmar. I also have the wonderful 280 4.0 but for some strange reason don't use it much. I have a 5D as a backup body when shooting DSLR sessions but way prefer the files of the DMR.

rpierce Posted August 3, 2007 Share #34 Posted August 3, 2007 Nikon D2X with lenses from 10.5 to 200-400 with 1.7x and several SB800s for tests, documentation and events. The M8 gives excellent quality in light weight for wide to moderate FOV and it's easy to carry; also, I don't want to miss wide shots when the 70-200 is on the D2X.

marknorton Posted August 3, 2007 Share #35 Posted August 3, 2007 Another vote for the D2X with lenses from 10.5mm to 400mm, Wireless LAN, Remote Control. Excellent for macro, sports and flash and I'm looking forward to what's next from Nikon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted August 3, 2007 Share #36 Posted August 3, 2007 For film R8 + R primes, digital is Canon 5D + the same lenses. Haven't used either since I got the M8 though <grin> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam3lindsey Posted August 3, 2007 Share #37 Posted August 3, 2007 Digilux 3 with a couple of R lens thrown in. Mainly for wild life (birds) and closeups. Sold my Nikon 2dx with 17-55 2.8. My M8 is the only rangefinder I have ever owned -- except for a Yashica in the 60's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
