Most useless piece of equipment...

Unfortunately it has to have been a quite significant 'nuclear event' for it to start recording anything, and by that time I suspect my hair would already be falling out.

I do have a tendancy towards picking up all sorts of gadgetry, or 'junk' as my wife likes to call it.

well it would come in usefull if you decided to go on vacation to the 'Chernobled' ghost town of Pripyat, which seems to be an ever increasing 'craze' these days

I use a Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8L USM. I have been using the Canon 24-105mm f4.0L IS but it shows some curvature of field. I also have an EOS 300 as a backup. This takes my EF lenses and I bought 100 x 24 exposure films from Dropshop for £13 and I am trying to use these up.

The most useless bit of equipment that I have ever purchased is the Delkin Pro series Pop-Up Shade (and I have two of them).

The kit lens on my 400D has only taken about 10 photos. I've never used it since. I was advised to buy the 'body only' but ignored good advice !
I use the canon 17-85mm IS lens as mentioned by eeyore. It's a good 'walkabout' lens.
