"Recently, I have preferred lenses offered by Nikon. The company has been around for a while because they offer quality products. The one I have been using recently is their autofocus lens called the AF-S Nikkor. It's 500mm, which is great for long-distance shots. I had difficulty with shooting the mountains before, but now that task has become a lot easier."

This question gives the employer insight into your personality based on the equipment you use. Additionally, the interviewer will ask this in an effort to determine your experience level. More expensive and difficult equipment to manage typically indicates a more seasoned photographer.

"Leica offers a lens that I fancy called the Summilex. It's a 35mm lens. I prefer manual focus lenses like this one. It is also stylish. I've used it in just over 15 shoots thus far, and plan on using it a lot more. I like to mix in distance with close proximity with shooting. Any lens that allows for that is good."
