Behind the lens
What I shoot with. The digital kit gets most of the use; the film cameras slow things down in the right way.
Digital bodies
Sony A7R V
Primary body. 61MP full frame with great dynamic range. Does most of the heavy lifting.
Sony A7 III
Secondary body. Used for backup and video work.
Lenses
Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM
The nifty fifty. Goes on the camera more than anything else.
Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II
Workhorse zoom. Sports, events, portraits at a distance.
Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS
Long telephoto. Wildlife, sports, anything far away.
Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM
Wide end. Architecture, interiors, landscapes.
Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art
General purpose zoom. Good value for what it does.
7Artisans 50mm f/0.95
Manual focus, f/0.95 maximum aperture. Renders completely differently to the Sony glass. Fun to shoot with.
Retropia Pocket Dispo
Disposable camera aesthetic on a proper body. Not a serious lens but produces interesting results.
Film bodies
Zenza Bronica S2A
Medium format 120. Slower and more deliberate than anything digital. 12 frames per roll keeps you honest.
Nikkormat FT3
35mm SLR. Fully mechanical with no batteries required. Good for street and travel.
Film stocks
Kodak Portra 400
Favourite colour stock. Forgiving latitude and beautiful grain.
Kodak Tri-X 400
Black and white standard. Timeless for a reason.
Cinestill 800T
Night shooting and tungsten-lit scenes. The halation is part of the appeal.
Accessories
Peak Design Travel Tripod
Carbon fibre. Light enough to actually bring on a trip.
Software
Adobe Lightroom Classic
Primary editing and culling.
Capture One
Tethered shooting and anything needing more fine-grained control.
