Basic equipment

The best pictures were taken by people who only had one camera equipped with one lens. But we must admit that there are complete equipments that offer new possibilities. The photographer may not need all the additional parts and lenses that make up a complete photographic unit, but there are basic equipments that can answer most of the requirements of photography.

The valuable complements to a machine equipped with a normal focal length are a wide-angle lens and a long focal length: if you want to choose, it is better to choose 28 and 135 mm, as they do not change our normal vision, but their uses are many. The sun protection ring must be used at all times to reduce intrusive light. Yellow and orange filters are used to increase the contrast in a black and white image, while the UV filter improves negative color images taken in nature. On the other hand, this filter can remain on the lens permanently, as it also protects it from shocks and dust. The zoom rings increase the capabilities of the lenses and are a profitable investment for close-up images and are often sold in sets of two or three rings and enable the achievement of important and good magnified images.

Knowing that the photographic devices are made and designed to be hand-held (except for single-rail devices), the tripod is still necessary for balanced work which requires a long time to take the picture and there is a flexible button to extend the movement to the minimum possible degree.

Many devices have an exposure meter (pozometer), but in the case where determining the exposure is difficult, the independent pozometer comes to provide its many uses and without a doubt it cannot be dispensed with if the device does not include an exposure meter.

As for the electronic flash, it provides additional light to the existing light and allows taking pictures when the lighting is insufficient.

The tools must be taken great care if their owner wants them to work perfectly and for a long time. There are cloths and brushes specially made to remove dust from the optical and mechanical parts of the device and its complementary parts. After each use, the lenses must be protected with their caps and the tools must be arranged carefully. All these tools are carried in a small, well-made bag.
