Over the course of EOSHD.com nearly all my kit has been sourced from eBay. Not for me these super expensive gear lists. I find it much more interesting to find unique treasure online – the stuff which hardly anybody else is shooting with and lenses with a unique look. My eBay searches have served me very well over the year. Unfortunately I can’t buy every gem I see so now…
