What's the one bit of kit you own which......

[EdBray]

My 24L TS-E Mk2 especially when coupled with my 1DsMk3!

Makes me feel like a real photographer!

 

[Kiwi Jaz]

My carbon fibre monopod. Simple thing, I know but there is something about it. It is only a cheap Benro but seems very well made. Just wish I had a carbon fibre tripod, and a 70-200L, a good lighting system, a 5d, and a......

 

[postcardcv]

my 500 f4 - when it's being used I'm out photographing birds which is what I love to do...

 

[Joe T]

400 2.8....

 

[Tyke Tiler]

My rubber duck hat, coff coff,.... er..... I mean, my 50mm 1.4 and Profoto AcuteB 600R kit

 

[hotchef23]

700 and 105 vr in love and dribbling as we speak(from the mouth i might add)

 

[whitewash]

the recycle bin on my computer..... always brings a smile to my face when that problem image has 'gone away'

 

[paul_g]

70-200 f2.8 is

 

[homerdog]

85 f1.8 - the fact that something so affordable can produce such brilliant results never ceases to amaze me.

 

[homerdog]

I'm not limited in what I can do with it, I'm the limiting factor!

I think that applies to all of us, whatever equipment we use

 

[Roy C]

Canon 300/2.8 I.S.

 

[Scarecrow]

My Eos 3 because it reminds me what a crap photographer I really am, and how lucky I am that I have the use of a digital camers and Photoshop to cover up for my inadequacies!

 

[KIPAX]

Canon 400mm 2.8L IS ... Nothing else compares

 

[CGeezer]

My Sigma 150mm Macro it means I can photograph bugs from a distance or in flight and still get 1:1 and then with tubes and a 2xtc and reversed 50mm I will be able to see fleas on bugs

 

[18-270]

my 50mm 1.4

or the 24-70 2.8 (bust at the moment)

 

[Canon Bob]

My Compact Flash Card

When I started work, it took two hefty guys and a sack truck to move a 2Mb disc drive into a computer room.
Now,I can take a snap of a field with half a million sunflowers smiling back at me...and I can take that snap about 1000 times. At the end, I've got images of 500 million sunflowers in my shirt pocket.

Gobsmacked!

[Peter10d]

My PC with its connection to TP, where I can get answers and solutions to my photographic headaches:bang:

 

[smooth]

Canon 85mm f/1.2 II.

me too. Although mine is the Mk1, I don't mind going off, making a cup of tea, reading the newspaper and having a little snooze while it focuses. By my god when it does...

Blooming good answer and I am sure most here would agree

 

[simonbell19]

My canon 70-200 f4 L on my lovely 550d

 

[Arkady]

85mm f/1.4 on the D3x...ooo baby...

 

[Aj2k8]

My 500d everytime I pick it up I feel happier

 

[DUNKS]

My old 80-200 2.8. Bit clunky and tends to miss focus but when I get it right the results are stunning.

 

[Bobby Canon]

Canon 300mm f2.8L IS coupled to my Canon 1Ds MkIII. It feels just....well...kind of...nice.....yes thats the word.....nice.

 

[J4MIE_P]

My Canon 5D. Whenever I pick it up I just know that I can do what I want to do, rather than with my old 400D thinking that I'm trying to overpower my cameras features.
And coupled with a few L series lenses I can pretty much capture exactly what I want to

 

[AndWhyNot]

Very specifically 7fps in continuous JPG mode - can't stop grinning at the repetitive drumming of the shutter

My lens cloth

 

[dinorock]

my camera bag ,if its on my shoulder im off togging

 

[malla1962]

Canon 300 2.8 IS......just stunning

 

[Cuchulainn]

Samsung 100mm macro. And not just for macro photos. It's stunningly sharp, beautifully light, has no distortion and lets me get 1:1 for those shots of very small things. Love it!

 

[HopefulM]

50mm 1.4 AFS-G

 

[mastertrinity]

For me it would have to be my 50mm because every time I use it I'm amazed at the IQ from such a simple lens.

 

[Kaouthia]

No question.

Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR

 

[TriggerHappy]

Polarising filter. I just love it's effect every time I spin it around.

 

[mastertrinity]

My lens cloth

well that was a quick decision, i expected for you to create a thread deciding on your favourite bit of kit

 

[steve_lyt]

any camera i love photography
Cheers Steve

 

[Briony]

My reading glasses because they make my crapp*y photos look a little bit better

 

[SMT]

For me it would have to be my 50mm because every time I use it I'm amazed at the IQ from such a simple lens.

Ditto, it's just amazing considering what they cost.

 

[c_robinson]

The illusion caused by my 300 2.8...makes me look like i know what i'm doing
