What's in Alex's camera bag ?

馮敏如的相機袋 !

Before switching to Digital Photography in 2003, I used both 135 & 120 film camera systems and a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED film scanner which can scan negatives and slides of sizes from 35mm to 6X9cm.

從2003年開始使用數碼攝影器材之前,我是使用135及120兩個系統的菲林相機與及使用Nikon Super Coolscan 8000ED底片掃描器,可以處理的底片由35mm至6X9cm。

Since 2003 I rarely shoot with films and what digital equipment I am using after switching to digital cameras ? I always packed different gears for every trip which always has its own theme.

當使用數碼攝影器材拍攝後,我已很少使用菲林拍攝了,在這幾年間,我究竟使用了什麼數碼攝影器材呢? 其實我是根據不同的拍攝題材經常添置不同的攝影器材的,差不多每一次的攝影旅程都有新的攝影器材組合。
