What is your Least Used Piece of Gear?

[mrsfotografie]

My 7D. Like so many others, my 5D3 put my 7D on the shelf collecting dust. I guess its time to take the hit and sell it.

+1. Dusted it off and sold it quite a while ago The MkII is still seeing lots of use however, and still has its original role as the wide/standard focal length body when I carry two bodies. Nowadays the MkII gets paired mostly with a wide angle prime lens.

Here the same, surely after buying a 1dx.

My 70-200 F2.8 L IS - simply don't use these focal lengths!

My brain.

ROFL!
;D ;D ;D

For me it is the intervelometer. 0 uses in a year and now ML has that built into the firmware.
Other than that, it is the 40 shorty... Somehow the 24-105 seems to be the lens of preference for me.

Oh yes! My 40 shorty is so unused I'd completely forgotten about it. Picked it up as a novelty item when it was announced, used it a couple of times, and then....ummm

I've quickly checked my camera bag, and it seems there's a spot just big enough to fit YOUR 70-200mm!

I've got a few dozen filters that never leave the cupboard.

That's weird. I use mine all the time, it's a great body cap.
Things may change when I'll get a fast 35mm. Still waiting for that 35/1.2L ).

My 50D and the 28-135 kit lens that came with it.

[TeT]

1.4 X extender, I mostly use it to read things that are far away

(ie... which TV station an onsite reporter is representing by blowing up his microphone on my screen)

 

[jdramirez]

I sell all of the things I don't use...

The 1.4 extender has been getting a good deal of use lately, but I suppose that would be the candidate. Maybe my gold umbrella...

Oh... my daughter's sl1 which I use as my backup... and the 40mm f/2.8 that is attached... fun lens, but I don't use it at all.

I'm really happy I managed to constrain myself and didn't buy it. I guess it helped that I had a 40 mm Voightlander. For some reason I was never really happy with that focal length anyway. Perhaps because it is the closest approximation to normal human vision which renders it a bit boring.

I bought one for my daughter... I really like the lens in theory, but I never personally use it.

I think that human vision is closer to 10mm really, a lot wider than 40mm.
If not, then maybe I'm not human .

Around 80mm, what I see in the viewfinder is the same size as what I see in my other eye... but in regards to my angle... I almost have 180 degrees of coverage... so I think that makes me more of a herbivore than a carnivore...

Yes, I'm talking about FF equivalent focal length. It is close to 180 degrees.
I don't find it boring at all .

You may be confusing angle of view wit perspective. I hope your eyes don't have the same perspective as a wide angle lens...

 

[scyrene]

While it's a much-debated comparison (and I'm not sure there's any definitive answer), 180º sounds far wider than the usual human field of vision. Stare straight ahead, don't move your eyes and head, move your hands apart until they disappear. For me it seems not much more than 90-100º.
