Well with me at the moment, I have two basic kits:
DSLR – Nikon D1H with either autofocus (boring) or my Tamron Adaptall2 stuff CF Zoom – macro 35-70 which I use all the time for everything. I also use the tamron 28mm f2.5, because sometimes you just feel like using a prime lens on a DSLR and move your feet around to zoom in and out.
Film – Minolta XG-M with two minolta lenses either 45mm (pancake) f2 or 100mm f2.5. Both are primes and easy to carry around.

I’ve got a few other kits – rangefinder and the SRT tank which is rock solid reliable.

The still life is an excellent idea :)

Just a few more ideas for you would be ‘Portraiture’ : Just setting up the camera on the tripod and framing and getting the lighting correct can take hours! You mentioned previously, that some of them do have flash. Working with flash – for bounce lighting, can be such a challenge. Maybe a few people in the class can help out to be the subjects and alternate?

Another idea is to borrow some lighting kit, maybe a local camera shop can lend you some equipment for the night to demo some lighting gear. It could be a great selling technique if people wanted to see what strobes and other lighting kit can do!

If you have ever tried self-portraits in the past … you soon appreciate any help on getting some decent pics …. unless you can get it right or are lucky :?

Just my two pence worth!

For what it’s worth have a glance at a Contax 645 here’s a link to a website about medium fromat Digital . I agree with Damien that Medium format and landscape(s) are synonymous. If you have 5 minutes then read the link and check out the contax 645 on ebay or your preferred camera merchant?

Black & White photos are fantastic!
I prefer to shoot in Black & White with film ( the easiest is kodak bw 400cn – it can be processed c-41 or colour processing).
If you consider the great works of Ansel Adams … the look of black & white can be amazing in landscape photography!

I realise digital is so popular … but try black & white any method you can and it just might surprise you!
