Frequently asked “What equipment do you use?”, John has supplied the following list of some of his gear. |

“The most important items of all in the kit bag are the lenses I use. If they are not of the highest quality, then even the most expensive camera body behind them will be a waste of money.”
Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm f4.0 Ultra-Wide Zoom Zuiko Digital 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD Zoom Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD Tele Zoom Zuiko Digital ED 50mm f2.0 Macro Zuiko Digital EX-25 Extension Tube Zuiko Digital EC-20 2.0x Converter
“Most folk know that I use Olympus cameras and their Zuiko lenses but they might not know why. I look for quality of build and performance, leading edge technology with ease of use, value for money and I like to travel light. Olympus have met my criteria ever since my first OM1 SLR in 1976.”
Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Body Olympus E-420 Digital SLR Body
Olympus µ [mju:] 410 - “You should ALWAYS have a camera with you even if its just pocket sized.” Voigtlander 2¼"x 2¼" - “A relic from WW2 for its larger format and as a reminder of ‘pre-auto’ technology.”

Jobo Giga Vu Pro - “A must for reviewing images on its 4in screen whilst on location and for showing clients. (I said I liked to travel light and I certainly don’t want to lug a PC around with me.) It saves me a fortune in contact prints.”
Acer AL1921 in my ‘PC Darkroom’ - “Images look superb and it’s easy to set up for colour management.”
