Mine is also used mostly as a telephoto and works great in low light conditions, like above. I'm currently looking for a decent pistol grip to attach to the tripod mount to make life easier Mind you though, I paid in euro's for it so its cheaper than you thought I wont tell you what I paid for the mint AE-1 with 3 lenses, motor winder and assorted filters but its roughly what I paid for 1 58mm UV filter Aaaandd my 300th post has nothing to do with a Rover 75, more to do with an ATR-72

This is the Manfrotto Pistol Grip head that I have mounted on Manfrotto 055ProB legs It is great although for panning Motorsport I either handhold or use my monopod .

Not everybody's choice but here's my Olympus kit. The macro lens is my favorite. Just wish I had the time to do photography these days, it's been a year or so now.
Main camera: Olympus E-30 Backup cam: Olympus E-410 Prime lens: Olympus 14-54mm Macro: Sigma 150mm Tele: Sigma 135-400mm Flash: Olympus FL-36 & some cheap manual slave flash Tripod: Velbon Sherpa 600 Filters: usual UV & polarisers and various others (ND, grad, b/w) Olympus bag (hardly use) Other camers I don't really use are Olympus OM-4 (35mm) & Bronica ETRS & Olympus waterproof compact (this is a brilliant little compact for holidays)

Post your kit?????
This is silly who cares what kit anyone has? or is it just a mines bigger than yours mentallity or a I have more money than you, look what I've got mentallity.
Just because you have all the gear with bells and whistles on doesn't make you a good photographer it just means you've waisted a load of money. After all you can take beautiful photographs with a point and shoot costing less than £20. But just for the info I have a Canon eos 500D with a 50mm standard lens and a 70-210 Sigma zoom....but mostly use my pocket size Fujifilm AX550 16mp point and shoot which produces really nice shots even at a high resolution. Having a good subject and the eye for a good shot is most important. The kit is secondary to all else.

If your not interested in what people use for their hobby why comment That's the same as saying why go to a meet to look at other people's cars because they might have a v8 or their car is newer! For us that enjoy our hobby its interesting to see who uses what to achieve the shots they get Its a pointless comment, its nothing to do with money it's to do with enjoying a hobby. I for one go to Motorsport events and do Motorsport photography. I'm sorry but a point and shoot £20.00 camera is not going to get the panning results I want. The camera is a tool to improve our photography with, it's that simple! That and a little bit of lens envy as well !!

Compacts these days are good but they still won't give the results a good outfit will give you. Having the right equipment is just as important as having good subject and a good eye, and also knowing how to use the equipment. Sticking a camera on auto will not get good results unless you get lucky.

Having studied photography at college doing 3d graphic design ' ok, it was a long, long time ago' I'm well aware that equipment a good photographer doesn't make.......But, your statement was it was silly to discuss what's in your bag as if no one should care! This is the photography section of this forum so of course people may have an interest in what others use to take photos with. If it were a Golf section for example I'm sure people would want to know what clubs they use ! Again, as stated I'm interested as someone who knows a reasonable amount about photography, what others are using to help them get 'THE SHOT' Not least as having all the details of how people achieve a photo, meaning exif data, composition, time of day and equipment used may help someone achieve something similar So the question remains, if your not interested in what people are using it doesn't mean others aren't. Obviously the op was interested or he wouldn't have started the thread
