What equipment does the Monkeys photographer use?
The Monkey has been on the road for more than ten years now, and over time his photographer has used several cameras to document the Monkey’s travels. These have included the following point & shoot cameras: Pentax IQZoom 120 (1994-2000), Pentax 105WR (2000-2003), and Pentax Espio 24EW (2003-present). Additionally, the Monkey’s photographer has used the following two SLR models: Pentax ZX-M (1998-2003) and MZ-M (2003-present). The 105WR and ZX-M were stolen when the Monkey was kidnapped in Colombia. The Monkey’s photographer has also occasionally used the Olympus LT Zoom 105. Since 2003, the photographic arsenal has included several digital cameras: the Palm Zire 71, the Olympus Stylus 400, the Panasonic DMC-FX01, and the Pentax K10D DSLR. There have been other cameras along the way, but these were never used routinely. The Monkey and his photographer prefer 28mm or wider lenses for most of the Monkey’s portraiture.
