Lefty.the.Sigmaniac's photostream |
I am a retired computer guy who is now enjoying golf and re discovering photography. Four years ago I had a little personal fight with cancer to re-focus my priorities in life. It was in the rather long recovery process that I became interested in photography again and bought a Nikon D40. That got me hooked and one year later moved up to a D90 and some nice glass. Now spend most of my time between the golf course (providing the weather is OK) and expanding my photographic horizons.

The kit as at January 17th 2010.
Camera:
Nikon D90 + MB-D80
Lens:
Sigma 10-20 4-5.6 wide angle, Sigma 24-70mm f2.8's, Sigma 50-150 f2.8's, Sigma 150-500 mm 2.8's , Tamron f2.8's 90mm Macro, Nikkor 18-105VR, .Nikkor 35mm f1.8G's lens.
Mainly Sigma based by choice.. They are good quality for a good price. Also love the tammies, wonderfull glass.
I keep the Nikkor 18-105's as a light walk-about lens even though they are a bit slow!!
Accessories:
Nikon ML-L3 remote, SB600 speedlight with diffuser, Manfrotto monopod/tilt head & Manfrotto tripod with 3-way head in the background, (Lowepro photographers winter glove (very important when carrying this lot around!!!)
As of January 17th 2010 now my kit is absolutely complete!!! .
I am a confirmed Sigma Maniac, I just love their lenses, but and I am now completely NAS'sed out.
Notes:
Including new pilot case (self fitted) the kit weighs in at 10.2 kilos!!!!
The Sigma 50-150mm were second hand only six months old and a bargain (Jan 2010) I could not resist!!!
The Sigma 150-500's replaced Nikkor 70-300's (Jan 14 2010)
The Tamron 90mm Macros replaced Sigma 50mm Macros
