It has been long time since I started loving photography. If I remember correctly, all started with a virtual tour I saw in an encyclopedia. Next I developed an interest in developing panoramas. Automatically, I started using a digital camera on my own.
My first camera was Nikon Coolpix 5400 (and I still have it). My passion towards panoramas made me to buy the FC-E9 fish eye lens to this camera(along with the UR-E10 converter adapter).
It didn’t take much time to realize (or convince myself 
) that I need more mega pixels and SLR features with better Glasses.
Since then I started buying and continued buying PHOTO GEAR… 
Upto now I own the following.
- Cameras : Canon 20D body, Nikon Coolpix 5400
- Lenses : Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8, Tamron AF 75-300mm, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, Peleng 8mm Fisheye Lens (from Russia ), Kit lens, FC-E9 fisheye lens for Nikon Coolpix 5400.
- Tripod : Bogen-Manfrotto 725B Digi Tripod + Additional quick release plates.
- Panohead : Nodal Ninja 3
- Bags : Canon 200DG Bag, National Geographic Earth Explorer Shoulder Bag.
- Misc : Extra Batteries, Sandisk Extreme IV memory cards, Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, Nikon Lens Pen, Photo Jacket, Remote Trigger for 20D, More cleaning stuff etc..
Can’t wait till I own a famous Canon L series lenses. Wonder it will be Canon 100-400mm L (zoom) or Canon 400mm L (prime). Until then I will hang on to my faithful, Tamron 75-300mm zoom.
