I know Steemit isn't Ebay, but if you have followed me you know I take some bad ass and decentralized photographs. I'm letting some cool pieces of gear go and thought you gear junkies would like to see this. Let's take a look at the gear and then at the end the images taken with the gear listed.

I have shot some iconic images with the gear listed in this post. I'm revamping my equipment and thought I would share the gear I have used for the past 8 years

Totally analog late 70's Nikon FE with a gorgeous 28mm 2.8 lens. Funky Monkey! Put in some TriX 400 BW film and push it a few stops....grain for days.

Nikon 180mm 2.8 Prime Lens - Killer portrait lens and light weight. Screw that 70-200mm beast.

50 1.4D (1 of 4).jpg

Whoa a 50mm 1.4G. This is probably one of my favorite lenses. Crazy lens flare and killer bokeh. I haven't listed it yet. Look at the flare from the sun light hitting it...this is an artsy lens.

Here's the Nikon 50mm 1.4 G - for me it's not as cool as the 1.4D. But super sharp and a different type of flare. Expensive as fuck. Why did Nikon go with that cheap ass plastic body? No idea.

Used but like new Black Rapid Sport strap. I've had this for awhile but it never got used. You need this if you shoot a lot.

105 2.0 (1 of 6).jpg
The ultimate bokeh lens by Nikon. The 105mm 2.0!!!! Razor sharp and probably the best portrait lens ever. Some babes have been shot with this.

24-70 (3 of 5).jpg

The 24-70mm 2.8. Probably the best overall lens...you can go wide and you can go long. 2.8 is beautiful wide open. A lot of people have been shot with this lens.

Some nice lenses there, especially te 105 f2.
I don't use an SLR anymore though... switched to a lighter/smaller Fuji x-t2 a while ago. What are you switching to? Or are you just clearing out unused gear?

I also shoot Canon, so I have decided to let go of some gear that hasn't been getting a lot of love. I would rather someone else get some use out of it. The Fuji XT2 is cool...I tried the X100 and loved it. But I still prefer the feel of a giant camera.

Wow! Those shots look amazing. Great work. Bravo!

Thanks Emwalker! I do try my best.
