Normal Zoom:
(1) EF 28-90mm f/4-5.6 II. A handy all rounder. No more in use due to faulty aperture control board. Decide not to repair.
(2) EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6. Digital only kit lens.
(3) Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro. This is an upgrade to the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens. It is now my all-purpose digital only lens.
Prime lens:
(1) EF 50mm f/1.8 II. Small, lightweight and permits available light photography. With ISO 400 film, the f/1.8 aperture allows indoor photography hand-held without flash. Not recommended to take photos with the aperture at its largest opening.
(2) EF 28mm f/2.8. Light carry around lens.
Telephoto: Sigma 70-300mm APO Macro Super to increase reach and improve portraits. Got some good shots of Yellow-Eyed Penguins at Dunedin and seals at Milford Sound.
External Flash: Sigma EF 500 DG Super. For Direct Flash and Omnibounce, I use FEC -1/2, and for bounce, I set FEC +1. Can also be triggered with my Minolta F200 digital camera using Wireless Slave mode. Cool! When using with the F200, need to use ISO200 and above, flash power set by trial and error, and bounce off the ceiling.
Minolta DiMAGE F200 1/45s f3.5 ISO200, External Flash hand-held bounced off ceiling

Accessories: Polarizing Filter, Warming 81A, ND Grad 0.6
