Brushman, you have a list of all your gear??? How much have you invested in photography?!?!
Nice collection, and is that a carbon fiber tripod I see?? Yowza.

Not as much as you'd think. I don't know I've been doing this since 1976 (seriously since 1980) and haven't added it up.
The Brownies. All work. They are decoration around the house.
The Yashica GX
The Olympus XA and flash
Nikon F w/working meter. I still shoot with this one.
Nikon FM One of the best camera ever. I still shoot as well
Nikon FA
Minolta SRT 101. Great student camera nobody knows about
Minolta X-700 $0 gift. My first real camera.
Old Movie Cameras (yeah they work too but finding film.....AH). These are fun to play with.
Canon IV SB w1.8 (I love this camera)
Zeiss IKON Contaflex
Voigllander Vitomatic I
Zeiss IkoFlex
The Digital stuff is where the $$$'s at...
yes a small carbon fiber
I've probably bought and sold 20+ other cameras over the years. I like to collect old things and have a house full of "shit".
Now you want to talk money....it's firearms that are my real passion

But glad to see you posting again. Word to the wise.... Back up your photos NOW everyone... Trust me it sucks to lose them!
I think my shooting experience (high-power rifle competitions) have helped me to be steadier when shooting with long lenses and panning to motion-blur the cars. I hold them the same way and use my bone structure for support so in essence its the same thing right down to the trigger pull and breathing.
Back on track:
Equipment I currently use (not everything I own.. I'm too lazy to dig through boxes)
(2) Canon 1D Mark IIn bodies
(1) Canon 10D w/ vertical grip
Canon 70-200mm F/2.8 USM IS L
Canon EF 28-135mm F/3.5-5.6 USM IS
Canon 2x II Extender EF AF
Canon TC-80N3 Digital Timer/Remote Control
Lensbaby 2.0
(All other glass I rent)
Gitzo G-1588 Mountaineer Mk2 Tele Studex Carbon Fiber Monopod (No head)
Manfrotto 3001BD (Tripod)
Manfrotto 808RC4 (Head for tripod... I personally don't like the build quality though)
