what's your favorite piece of equipment you own, whether it be your photo or video equipment. and why you like it.

i'll start off with my nikon 50mm f1.2, it was my grandpa's from the 80's and he gave it to me. i use this lens the most out of all mine, although i don't have a lot aha but it's really sharp and amazing in low light

Yeah I was so stoked when I first found out how good of a lens it was aha. Was it tough to make the pinhole lens? I've been thinking about trying that sometime

"obvious reasons" means a photo of an awkward 3? I'm sure you have way more impressive shots than that

Couldn't have said it better.

I also LOVE my 20-35 f/2.8. Such an amazing quality lens for being Nikon's first ultra-wide..
