I've noticed that many photographers very happy and very detailed talk about their equipment. So I'll do that now times and give myself to the mainstream: D
The cameras Canon 1000F Canon 1000F
The was my first SLR. I've then got a gift from my grandpa. As the F reveals she is a film camera. I like the camera. The AF is pretty fast even if the noise is more like a chain saw. And the pictures are great, if you do not accidentally adjusted the ISO setting and suddenly all the pictures get a funny color brightness. It is the complete opposite of the digital successor. I will probably always keep the camera.
Nikon D70 With Battery Grip
The D70 is especially popular with skaters or their photographers a very popular camera. Was also the reason why I wanted a D70. It has an extremely high flash synchro. Even to 1 / 8000 you can see neither the mirror nor the closure of the image. She is also very robust. I use the battery grip is now rare but as a storage place for a second battery, he is very practical, well you can see from so much more important. She is my first choice and now has about 22,500 shots down.
Fuji (Nikon) S3 Pro
The Fuji is a little-known professional camera. She is best known for a lot of dynamic and brilliant colors and the comparison with the Nikon D3 or Canon 1D Mark 5 do not have to shrink. I find the pictures great. She has a few nice little things like a film simulator, a high shutter release, huge attitude and individuality and and. Their noise performance is also very good. Even at ISO1600 the noise is hardly noticeable. As can so many other professional camera cut a slice.
Lenses, Flashes & Other
lenses
Nikkor 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5
The Nikkor lens is my favorite because it covers everything I need.
The AF is fast and quiet, besides you can readjust by hand without the AF off.
Tamron 70-300mm 1:4-5.6
The Tamron is not just a light giant. The AF is not very fast and makes a huge noise. But it served its purpose and the images are not called into question.
Domiplan 50mm 1:2.8
The Domiplan is a lens with M42 connector, correspondingly, it also controls all functions of a chip. So, no AF and no auto-aperture. Everything is set by hand. And although the AF ring is somewhat stiff, it's a great lens.
Exakta 28-70mm 1:3.5-4.5
The Exakta is part of the Canon. And as mentioned, remembers the sound of the AF engine more like a chain saw or by rolling tanks. The AF is fast, it is also very handy. A great lens. At some point there was even a skylight filter on it but he is in the shallows of the camera bag disappeared.
lightning
In Bmx and skateboarding needs photography one grade in the halls a lot of light to reach acceptable exposure times, also, to make this produce many effects. So here's my flash collection.
Carena
Fairly powerful flash. But also quite big and bulky. However, I do not know how to turn down the power that is always full up stall in the bananas.
Yongnuo YN 460 II
From Blitz'chen to a strong Super Flash because everything is in the process is also it dirt cheap. What to consider flying bicycles and skateboards, as well as out of control driver simply makes no sense to buy an expensive flash. Since it loads quickly even sustained fire is possible.
Praktica
Another powerful flash, but you can not change the power again. In contrast to the Praktica Carena has not even switch to change the performance. So back full power.
Doerr flash
The dried-in flash is a rather strange construction, because he has a flash bracket on the bottom that you can not remove and I not found a sensible method of attachment because if you screw it to the camera that you can not reasonably hold without the flash with your hand to conceal. He has a slave function and is therefore always at hand.
Other
no less important. On the contrary, because without the "bite" battery does not even flash.
batteries
I always Varta High Energy. Almost always, the red, because I think these are the best. The last a long time and have more power than the cheap. I also tried the blue times. However, the feeling in my lower power.
Tripods
About tripods I've never really thought I made. They must be very simple. Whether they are smooth or difficult does not matter, they mainly keep the flash where I want it.
flash release
These things I'm always there for me when lightning is unleashed without nothing more.
Lenspen Lenspen
The split bearings. You either love him or you hate him. I like him. It is simple and takes practically no space. And if you getatscht again on the lens, then after a few seconds the fingerprint is history.
Blasebag
Blasebag The Lenspen is like the simply practical, as you can make in addition to dust and blow away a lot of other things with it. Sometimes the thing serves only as a chewing gum paper launch station.
lightning rails
Sometimes you have to just stand still a second flash and is then fixed with normal flash bracket.
manual
When I took the camera still does not know the manual but I have a thing or two times. Meanwhile, it is always in my backpack. Does not take up no space and can be one or the other one probably even be more useful.

cable ties, duct tape and tool
Can be easy infinitely useful in all areas and should always be there. have been
so it should be first on the whole, if I can think of something I'm going to write this so keep watching pure.
