I recently got back into the hobby after my health took a traumatic turn with a massive Heart attack, leaving me disabled, but photography was something I could still do,( well at least in warm weather for outside work). I have had a few film SLR's in the early days, but sadly no longer in my possession. My current equipment: Sony Alpha a7iii & battery grip, Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro Os, Canon EOS 70D with battery grip & EOS 400D with 18-55mm ,55-250 IS 75-300mm, Canon EF 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens, I also use 2x converter & macro tubes lenses & accessories used on both Canons.Vanguard Abeo Pro tripod with GH-300T Pistol grip & BEIKE BK-45 Gimbal head. Sony Alpha a6000, SELP1650, SEL16F28, Sony Alpha a5100, Sony Alpha a350,18-70mm, I also use a Fujifilm Finepix S1 ( which I use to save on weight ), with accessories. I have passed my Advanced Diploma Photography course with the International Careers Institute. hoping to do a degree course ( BA hons) in photography. So still learning definitely & always will be!!! ;)
