Default Best Camera For Food Photography

Can you give us a breakdown of your gear? What camera, lense and filters are you using. Are you strictly digital on all of your photos?

Lastly do you take all of the photos for each of your books?

Hi Nicko,
Yes I take all the photos for all the books. I've got a lot of equipment but what I use mostly now is a Hasselblad with Zeiss lenses and an Imacon or Leaf digital back. This is very high-end equipment and was at one time necessary, but now with better DSLRs,, it is overkill. I'm saving up for a Nikon 700 or D3 which have much better low-light capabilities.
