photo/video:

Canon 5d II

Lenses:
Canon 16-35 2,8L

Canon 28-70 2,8L

I used to have a 24-105 4L IS, but i sold it because of weddings I have to shoot this summer. It was a fantastic lens and I'm going to miss it.

Looking to add:
Canon or Sigma 70-200 2,8 IS/OS
Rokinon 24/35/85 1,4 primes
Canon 15 2,8 fisheye
Canon 135 2L

Probably will have everything by the end of the summer if my buddy and I get enough booked!

that'd be tight.

personal opinion/

also look at the 28-70 2.8L, its optically and in testing, very similar to the 24-70. Not to mention cheaper. But tamron is also coming out with a 24-70 2.8 VC, and from what i've seen its SHARP. Maybe wait for that to make a decision

had my 24-105 for over a year -____-
5d II since august
only recently did I upgrade lenses, and that was due to my upcoming jobs. They will be with me for a while, I'm very happy with the quality of them (both optical and build).

oh well, haters gonna hate.

Nikon D3100 for digi and a Nikon F5 for film. I find myself using the Film camera most of the time because it's so fun to use. Got an 85 a 24 and a few other lenses.

Usually a Toyo 45 GII

I use this one occasionally

And I have a 5D, but I need to either get rid of that or sell the 24-70 and get some primes so I'll actually use it.

Not posting pics but:

HPX170 (sale pending)

DVX100a (may sell, but it was my first baby)
T2i/550D (plan on using for awhile until there's something revolutionary and worth upgrading to)

Rode VideoMic Pro
Magic Lantern Firmware

Tokina 11-16mm

Nikkor 50mm 1.8 (Adaptor)
Gini Shoulder Rig
Gini Follow Focus
Libec LS22 Tripod System

Carryspeed Viewfinder

Once the HPX sells I'll be investing in glass and other stuff like:

Rokinon 35mm 1.4

Rokinon 85mm 1.4
Glidecam 2000HD
Sachtler FSB-4

I want to go out and shoot shit more. Gear is simply tools to make art with. It's fun to get all nerdy and geek out over gear but I'm realizing that any camera and any setup is capable of making something phenomenal in the right hands.

Kids with a t2i and a kit lens.....GO SHOOT.

Buying slightly faster glass or a slight sharpness increase isn't nearly as big of an upgrade as fine tuning your actual skills would be.
