Camera: Olympus E-500 and many ''vintage'' lenses adapted with 4/3 adapters (Nikon, Olympus and Sigma lenses).

Love portraiture, landscape, HDR, and close up work. Have a multi-strobe setup for portraiture with shoot through soft boxes and shoot through umbrellas

My digital cameras consist of a pair of Olympus E series DSLR - an E-500 from 2006, and an E-520 from 2008.

Lenses range from the stock Zuiko 15-45mm and 40-150mm Zuikos, to my favorite macro lens a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 1:1 macro (EX DG).

Then I have an array of vintage ''all-manual'' lenses from the 1970s - old Zuiko, Nikor, Tokina and Sigma glass - a 70-210mm Nikor & a 55mm micro Nikor (1:2), and a Sigma 400mm. All are adapted to work on my Olympus bodies, and all can be had for a fraction of the price of new auto-lenses, and take amazing pics.

I have a couple 50mm f/1.8 & f/1.4 Zuikos. And I have a 50mm Nikor f/1.4 as well (very sharp and fast). It lets in twice as much light as an f/2.8 which means one more shutter speed wide open for available light indoor work.

I have a LensBaby 2.0, Lensbaby Composer and a screw on ultra-wide lens element. I also have an Olympus macro extender tube (25mm) and a cheap set of tubes that go all the way from 11mm all the way to over 60mm when assemled together.

I've now added a Lumix LX5 to my cameras as a quick shot which does RAW and several formats as well as HD video.

It is about 3/4 as sharp as the DSLR (which is quite good for a small camera) with the 35mm equivalent of 24-90mm lens with macro down to 1mm.

Very nice option for a carry around…
