So what’s in my camera bag these days?

SB-900

Lenses:
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8
Nikon 50mm f/1.4
Lensbaby Composer + Soft Optic, Fisheye, Plastic Optic

Filters:
B+W Kaesemann MRC Polarizer
B+W ND 1.8 (6-stop)

Optional:
I’ve been renting the Nikon 16-35 and 17-35 to evaluate which I want for a landscape lens. So far, favoring the 17-35 f/2.8 for overall sharpness and quality.

For weddings, I often rent the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 which will become a permanent part of the arsenal.
