My Usual Kit

Today the sky outside is dull grey and the rain is torrential, so there is not much chance of taking a decent picture outside.  Towards the end of the day I had still not found a reasonable subject to blip.  However, when looking at my camera equipment I realised that I could take a picture with my iPhone of my usual camera kit.  The bottom item is a Nikon Df, together with a 28mm 200mm zoom lens.  The item at the top of the picture is a 105mm Macro lens; excellent for portraits.  The item on the middle-left is a 12mm-24mm; a very wide-angle lens for a 35mm format.  The item mid-right is my homebuilt fisheye, made from a very cheap Japanese wide-angle lens, together with a very cheap Japanese wide-angle convertor; this lens gives nearly 180 degree coverage and maps, fairly correctly, to y=sinX, as it is supposed to do.
 

Over the sixty plus years that I have been taking photographs, I have built up quite a lot of equipment, some of which I still have and use, but from my current collection the items above cover nearly all of my requirements and are essentially all that I use nowadays.  I still have some film equipment with the capability of developing and printing, together with some other bits of digital equipment, but this is hardly ever used.
