all in the family

[focalintent]

Re-arranging my office - and I have all of my cameras and directly-related-to camera gear all in one place - so I decided to take a "family photo". The picture is crappy, but that's because my cellphone camera was my only camera not on the table :)

Of course, this is also me ignoring how behind I am on shooting, processing photos, uploading photos, and just about everything in life - including getting my office in some sense of working order!







In very rough left to right order:

• Graflex Super Graphic 4x5 camera w/137mm lens (and a 90mm hiding behind it) as well as a polaroid back and a 6x12 panorama back
  
• Zeiss Ikon 6x9 folder
  
• Bessa R66 folder
  
• Mamiya 645 pro tl with a russian 30mm arsat fisheye lens
  
  • 80mm f/2.8 lens
    
  • 150mm f/3.5 lens
    
  • 210mm f/4 lens
    
  • 2x extender
    
  • grip, multiple film backs
    
•   ломо 6x6 tlr
  
• Canon EOS Rebel S film camera w/ 35-80mm lens
  
• Canon 10d w/28-70mm f/2.8 tokina lens
  
  • 75-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lens
    
  • tamron 19-35mm lens
    
• Canon 5d w/24-105mm f/4L lens
  
  • 70-200mm f/4L lens
    
  • 100mm f/2.8 macro lens
    
  • 28mm f/2.8 lens
    
  • lensbaby 2.0 lens
    
  • mamiya shift lens adapter
    
  • 580ex and 430ex flashes
    
• Hasselblad 500c w/40mm lens
  
  • 80mm f/2.8 lens
    
  • 150mm f/4 lens
    
  • 2x extender
    
  • multiple film backs, polaroid back
    
• Mamiya rz67 pro ii w/110mm f/2.8 lens
  
  • 180mm f/4.5 lens
    
  • 1.4x extender
    
  • 2nd Mamiya rz67 pro body
    
  • adjustable lens hood
    
  • multiple film backs, polaroid back
    
  
  

2 digital cameras w/8 lenses between them
7 film cameras with 11 lenses between them (not counting fixed lenses on the zeiss, bessa, or ломо)

Of course, this doesn't include all the auxiliary equipment - tripods, lights, cases, developing tanks, scanner, printer, and an overly-unused enlarger.

The funny thing is - I can, and do, use nearly all of these cameras with some regularity! The only exception being the 10d (which elvendoll is more likely to be using and the Canon EOS Rebel S 35mm film camera - because I hate 35mm film these days :) But each camera has a different 'story' to it, that describes how/what I use it for and such.

Maybe at some point i'll borrow a better camera and do a 'better' family portrait :)

Of course, i'd still love to get a good 4x5 field camera at some point, and maybe dip my fingers into 8x10. I might also get a few a16 backs and a 210mm lens for the hasselblad and sell off the mamiya 645 rig. Of course, then i'd need to buy a kiev rig so that I could still have a 30mm fisheye 6x6 shooter.
