Lenses
Canon EF600mm f/4L IS USM (my most commonly used lens)

Other Accessories

Wimberly Gimbal-style Tripod Head (makes handling a big lens much easier)
Canon Speedlite 550EX Flashgun
RRS B91-B flash bracket
RRS FA-EX1 telescoping extender bracket (increases height of flash above the lens, thus reducing the risk of 'red-eye')
Better Beamer (extends the range of the flash by 3 stops)
