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

Lenses
“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
Cameras “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.”
