My camera equipment includes:

{Polaroid}

Polaroid SX 70: Original Polaroid SLR camera from the 70′s. I use this camera to shoot most of my Polaroids. Manual and perfect. My beloved…

Polaroid SLR680: Folding Polaroid SLR camera. Love the auto focus, love it just as much as my SX70. Very similar to the SX70 in film results. It spits my Polaroids out like a machine gun, so I have learnt to shoot and catch. It’s quite the skill.

Polaroid SX70 Sonar: Very similar to the original SX70 but with auto focus.

Polaroid Spectra System: Original Spectra camera with wider Spectra film. Fabulous camera which produces some gorgeous tones and loves the light.

Polaroid Land Camera Auto 340: Folding Pack peel apart film camera. I love shooting this when I have time to spend.

Polaroid 1200FF: My most modern Polaroid, takes spectra film, terrible flash. Haven’t touched it since I got the SX70.

Polaroid 600 One Step: I have a couple of these. Automatic and fun snappy cameras.

Fuji Instax Mini 7s: Not Polaroid but instant and fun. I don’t like shooting this indoors as you can’t turn the flash off however it’s a great little party camera.

{35mm}

Nikon FM3A: Fabulously built, workhorse, dependable, last of the FM cameras. My favourite is my 28mm 2.8 Nikkor AIS lens. A beautiful lens and great for travel.

Yashica FX3: Unstable and non predictable but can create some beautiful tones and soft, creamy magic. I love it… I don’t trust it, but I love it. Picked him up in a used store in Seattle in 2006.

Olympus XA2: Automatic 35mm that I can throw in my pocket. Tack sharp focus.

Lomo Fisheye: Such a silly camera but fun to shoot. Fisheye lens. Plastic.

{Medium Format}

Yashicamat 124 TLR: Twin Lens heavy mother! Takes some getting used to as everything is in reverse. 120 film.

Holga GFN 120: Ah, Holga. Plastic, cheap and lots of fun. 120 film.

{Digital}

Canon 40D with Canon 50mm 1.4, Canon 135mm 2.8 , Canon 18-55mm. I use the 50mm for everything. The 135 is a great lens but I don’t get much use out of it. The kit lens is terrible. Don’t use kit lenses. Buy primes. Believe me, buy primes.

I shoot weddings with a Canon 5D Mark 11, 85mm 1.4 and 24-70mm.

iPhone: I love using the Instagram app on my iPhone for shooting daily snapshots. You can find me on Instagram as mandaroid.

Digital Harinezumi: I use it mostly to make old school looking videos. There is no sound and everything looks kinda dreamy and 8mm-esque. LOVE it.

I also have a bunch of cameras that I use as door stops and paper weights. OK, not really but they don’t work and sit on shelves looking pretty.
