I have always used Nikon equipment starting with the Nikkormat body which I bought in 1972 in Singapore along with a Nikon 50mm 2.8 lens.  Since then I have had a series of cameras as newer models came onto the market – Nikon FE, Nikon 801, Nikon F3. Nikon F4, Nikon F5.  My first digital body was the Nikon D100 followed by the Nikon D1X, Nikon D2X, Nikon D3. and Nikon D3X camera body.  I currently use a Nikon D800E, which is a 36.5 million pixel camera and my moat recent a Nikon D850.I use a wide range of lensesNikkor 10.5mm f2.8 AF DX IF-ED FisheyeNikkor AF-S 17 – 35mm f2.PC Micro Nikkor 85mm shift and tilt macroNikkor AF-S 24 – 120mm f3.5 – 5.6  VR EDAF-S Nikkor 70 – 210mm f2.8  VR EDAF-S Nikkor 200 – 400mm f4  VR EDNikon AF-S Nikkor 200 – 500mm 1:5.6EIn addition I currently use the converter:-AF-S Nikon teleconverter TC  17ED 1.7xNikon DR right-angle viewfinderI use a tripod whenever I can especially when I need to stop down to increase depth of field of field such as when I am working with textural images on tree bark and rock formations.  I have several tripods and a variety of heads and like the combination of using Gitzo legs and Manfroto heads.<br />
