22nd - Indulgence

Cheltenham, Glos

My one indulgence - camera kit! I must admit to giving my kids a whithering look when they ask me "don't you have enough camera kit, Dad?"...they must be insane!

From the left:

Nikkor f/2.8 28mm - a cracking lens, my favourite at the moment (and used extensively in this Challenge)
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 UWA Zoom - absolutely bonkers, but brilliantly sharp and detailed for wide-angled landscapes (use with care!)
Nikkor f/2.8 60mm Micro - love this one to bits too :o)
Nikkor f/3.5-5.6 18-200mm Zoom - a decent walk-about
Nikkor f/2.8 17-55mm Zoom - pro glass, and the reason I wear hair shirts & eat gruel

So, what's your next bit of kit?

Are you and Walter having a contest? You both get superb results with your fine lenses!

Lovely shot and what a great line-up!
Walter Otto Koenig23-Oct-2009 17:49
Great line up Doug, and you'll always need more. What do kids know anyway? And I hear you about the hair shirt too. One thing has me mystified, you took this shot with your 28mm, yet it is in the photo. Too much for my pointed little head.

yep.. very nice lineup!
Sheila23-Oct-2009 11:13
This is a great idea. Would have done for the Thurs challenge too, Mod Cons you can't live without.
Barbara Heide23-Oct-2009 09:53
well, I can understand...lol!

Never can have too many lenses...very good indulgence most here can appreciate!
Maaike Huizer23-Oct-2009 07:15
Doug, I had exactly the same idea for indulgence, had the lenses lined up and than decided to skip the idea. Glad I did, because yours is perfect.
Mieke WA Minkjan23-Oct-2009 06:34
surely an indulgence
Inga Morozoff23-Oct-2009 01:46
Very nice collection you've got Doug. It's nice to be in a place in your life where you *can* indulge like this. So many can't and never will be there.
laine22-Oct-2009 22:36
Everyone deserves to indulge...tell the kids they're on a diet for a while ;)

Nice collection and very true words. (Saving up for a Canon 500 here).
LynnH22-Oct-2009 17:36
You can NEVER have too many! Nice row, nice shot... good idea too!
Cindi Smith22-Oct-2009 17:21
Yep, can't have enough. I need a few more myself!
