D300: Main DSLR

D200: IR Converted (720)

Coolpix A: Compact tag along or wide angle second body.

Coolpix AW100: For wet situations.

FE2: Family snapshots (usually mounted is a 28mm f/3.5 Type K)

L35AF: Compact for film snapshots. 

FM2: Not used as often as the FE2, but I intend to start using this one more often if I can ween myself off of autoexposure.

Had a D1x years ago, then a D2x, still have that, now just "upgraded" to a D700 with grip. Enjoying full frame, finally. Just a little behind the times, but it's new a fun for me.

The beauty of photography is that it makes time stand still - so yer D700 is more than up to the stilling task 😊

Currently I use a Fuji X-E1 with the XF 18-55/2.8 - a really nice combo imo. A somewhat slow camera, but I mostly shoot static subjects so it's just fine for my use. I find the post processing of X-Trans raw files a bit challenging at times, but overall I like the output I can obtain.
 
I have a collection of old MF Minolta lenses from the film days - with an adapter they work nicely with the Fuji.   

Prior to the Fuji I had a Nikon D7000 for a very short while. I still have a D40 that works well, but I hardly ever use it.   

Film gear: two Minolta X-700 and a srT101. Shot some film last summer just for fun.

My D70, D200 and D300 are more or less retired now, but the D700, D800e see regular use. Next to them I bought recently a secondhand D3s in very good shape, I like it very much and should have bought one years ago. Next to the Nikons I have a Fuji X-T1 with a few lenses.

Primary is Df with mostly autofocus lenses.

Medium size Mirrorless - Sony NEX-7, considering a move to Fuji XT-1. or maybe Sony A-6000 to take advantage of lenses I have.

Small - Sony Rx-100 (mk 1), iphone 5s   ;-)

Thanks,
Rob.

More or less retired:  D300 and D70S

D810 with 20mm 1.8 or 180mm 2.8 Ais. My two favourite lenses.
D3 and D200 sitting on the shelf along with the F5, FM, FG, and FE looking lonely; wondering why they are not used.

Two D800 bodies, sometime also use a D3 but mainly the D800 does it (sailing and yacht photography) - its just great to have this dynamic range avail in the post processing. For the kids though I mainly use the D3 - there are times when the "800" is too slow.

Regards, Sören

My wife continues to define photography as a transfer of wealth to B&H.

My real question is not what do I own, it is why do I continue to keep wonderful objects like an F3, and the associated goodies( two flash units that will only work on an F3 without an adapter)?
