I mainly shoot with the Hasselblad Xpan II and the new D700 with the very sharp 14-24 & 24-70 AFS lenses. This equipment produces quality results that should satisfy the most critical customers.

	Hasselblad Xpan II
	Nikon D700 & MB10 and D300

 

   Lenses

	Nikkor 14-24 AFS - Quality - currently one of the best lenses in existence.
	Nikkor 24 - 70 AFS - Very sharp!
	Nikkor 80 ~ 200mm f2.8 AFD - Quality in all respects - period!! I use this instead of the new version as it flares less when shooting into the sun which I do quite frequently!
	Hasselblad Xpan 45mm f4 & ND filter-
	Hasselblad Xpan 90mm  - Quality speaks for itself.
	Tamron 90mm f2.8 DI Macro - Sharp!

   Studio & Tripods & Camera Bags

	Manfrotto 191 Nature tripod with the Manfrotto 488 RCO ball head. I also use a Manfrotto 680B monopod. I have also started to use the Manfrotto Elbow bracket for easier movement between vertical and horizontal positions.
	Lowepro Nova 1 AW for Xpan and Vertex 300 for all my camera gear.

  Scanning Printing and Film

For scanning I use an Nikon Coolscan 5000-ED scanner (cant praise it enough!!). 

I use an Epson 1290 & 2100 printer that produces professional panoramic and normal prints using pigment inks with the longest stated lifespan of any printers available. Paper used includes Archival Matt and Semi Gloss both from Epson.

I only shoot with slide film and use Fuji Velvia 50  followed by Fuji Provia RDP 100F and Kodak E100VS.

Framing

I have equipped myself to manufacture my own natural wood frames using indigenous Australian timber such as Red Gum, Jarrah and Blackwood. I use miter saws with 100 teeth tungsten carbide blades and follow this up with a guillotine to cut exact 45 degree miters. Joints are made using biscuits as they have been proven to be stronger than V nail joints. Where I cannot use biscuit joints I still use V nails and glue to make proper frame joints. All images are stuck to acid free foam core. The mats are chosen to match all images and the natural timber frames artistically . Images can be framed using either normal 2 mm glass or non reflective glass.
