Anyone that has followed me over the years will know that I’m constantly reassessing the gear that I shoot with. I’m forever working out ways to simplify my kit, be lighter on my feet and also have the latest technology available to me.
I love mirrorless cameras and the opportunities they open up, and recently I made the switch from a Fuji X-T2
to the Sony a9
.
While I loved my X-T2
, I was searching for what was next for me and found that having eye AF and better high ISO capabilities were important to me.
[Ed – See Fuji X-T2 review and Sony a9 review for a comparison of these two great cameras!]
Throughout the day I typically shoot 35mm
and 85mm
for the majority of my images, yet my dance floor images would be more with the 12-24mm
lens.
I have a 55mm f/1.8
for when I want a compact do-anything kind of lens, and I also have the 50mm f/0.95 
for when I want all the Bokeh!
