Professional engineer retired on health grounds. Also an amateur photographer but more of a gear junkie than a photo taker because I don't get out all that much.
Canon gear: 1Ds2 (a lemon), 1D2, G9, 1V, EF 600 f/4 L IS, 300 f/2.8 L IS (love it), 100-400 L IS (formerly the most used), EF 28-300 L IS (so versatile and now the most used), 85 f/1.2 L II, 85 f/1.8, 70-200 f/4 IS L, 50 f/1.8 mk I, 50mm f/2.5 compact macro (very versatile on a full frame body), TS-E 90 f/2.8(excellent), TS-E 24 L, 1.4x II, 2x II, 420EX, MT-24EX, 580EX II.
Tamron gear: 28-75 f/2.8 (not so good), 180 f/3.5 macro.
Nikon gear: D700 (my first camera in a while that worked out of the box !), AF 50mm f/1.8D, AF-S 24-70 f/2.8G, AF-S 14-24 f/2.8G, AF-S 105 f/2.8G VR Micro, AF-S 200-400 f/4G, R1-C1, SB-900.
I bought and sold a 40D (nice features but relatively crappy AF performance) and also sold my 20D and EF-S lenses. Too much unused gear was getting me down. Recently I was drawn to Nikon by great features and yet more problems with my Canon cameras.
