What's your creative equipment/setup?

[masuerte]

So everyone, here's a thread where we can look up what tools people use in their creative endeavors. What's your photography studio setup, what's in your art-bag, how do you carry all those cans of spraypaint and etc?

If you list your items, then decide tot ake pictures of said items, then just edit your first entry. Try not to shit the thread up with too many entries asking each other about this or that, use PMs. Let's just try to use this thread as a way to log your stuff, one entry per person(?).

this is my baby:

[Carl]

Canon EF 16-35mm 2.8 L

Canon EF 35mm 1.4 L

Canon EF 28mm. 2.8

why do you have three lenses with nearly identical focal lengths? especially on a body with a 1.6 crop?

[mike lowrey]

I'm kind of in a jam with them..

16-35 = one of the best zoom lenses

35mm = very good prime, great depth and excellent for low light

28mm = about 1/3 of the weight compared to the 35mm

the 28mm, I basically upgraded to the 35mm. I've been meaning to sell the 28mm but because of the weight I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with them. but yea, at the moment the 16-35mm and 35mm are my main lenses. wouldn't mind getting a bit more zoom, but I havent come across a great option.
