What equipment you currently use and why. Do you think costly equipments are necessary for good photography?
At present Iam using a canon 350d degital camera with 18-55 and 75-300 zoom lenses.Iam using this camera because I wanted to swith over from Nikon analog to Canon digital because of quick focusing and low noice.That time this was the cheapest camera.I dont think costly equipment are necessary for good photography therefore Ihave the basic model.But now I have started feeling that I need full frame body with some fast lense .
Which medium you prefer, B/W, Color Film or Colour Transparency and why?
