For the past 5 years I have used Canon and have owned or used most of the L series telephoto lenses, also cameras ranging from the EOS 20D in 2005 through to my most recent camera, the 16.10-megapixel EOS 1D MKIV.

Below is a list of my most used/most recent equipment. However, as with many wildlife photographers my equipment is changed and updated regularly as new products come onto the market – so this list could well have changed in life before you’ve got to the bottom of the page!

Hyperlinks are inserted for recent reviews of the gear I use – I hope that you find these useful.
