Gear

I am sometimes asked what kind of camera system I use. In the past I used Nikon for many years, but after a lot of research I switched to Canon for my digital photography needs.

Canon

	Canon 5D Mark III camera bodies with BG-E11 battery grips. I carry two 5D Mark III bodies, one with the EF 16-35mm F/2.8L USM lens attached and the other with the either the EF 28-135mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM or the EF 70-200mm F/4L IS USM lens on it.
	Canon T2i camera body with 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 EF-S IS lens.
	Canon Rebel XTI camera body with BG-E3 battery grip.
	All my lenses are Canon Auto Focus
	EF 15mm F/2.8 Fisheye.
	EF 50mm F/1.4 USM Normal.
	EF 85mm F/1.2L II Medium Telephoto.
	EF 100mm F/2.8L IS USM Macro.

	EF 16-35mm F/2.8L II USM Zoom.

	PocketWizard Zone Controller.
	EOS Dedicated TTL off camera flash cord.
	RS-80N3 Remote switch.

Twelve Sandisk 32GB Extreme IV Compact Flash cards.

Other Equipment

Dell Inspiron 14R laptop with 500GB hard dive, 4GB memory, CD/DVD burner, Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Photoshop CS5 & Lightroom 4.

Two Western Digital Passport 500GB portable USB hard drives for backup.

Manfrotto 3444 Carbon Fiber tripod with Kirk Enterprises BH-3 Ball Head. All of my cameras have the Kirk Enterprises L Bracket installed on them.

Gitzo G1566 Monopod.

	Lowepro Roller 1 and Domke camera bag.
	Several Photoflex reflectors.
	B+W circular polarizing filters.
	Lens cleaning cloth, flashlight, gaffers tape, extra batteries.

Miscellaneous Information

	I also try to take as much of my camera gear as I possibly can as carryon. With all the new carryon restrictions, it's getting very difficult for photographers. If necessary, I will put some of my things in checked luggage such as tripod, reflectors, filters and extra battery packs.
	I wear a Domke photo vest when traveling; it's a great way to store things such as small flash, cleaning cloth and of course airline tickets and passport.
	I use a Lowepro Roller 1 Series to carry my camera gear when traveling by plane and after I arrive at my destination, I use the Domke F3X camera bag to carry my gear while shooting.
