My aim is to keep gear to a minimum and keep it lightweight

​

Camera & Lenses

​

• Fujifilm X-T2. 24 Mega Pixel, APSC format. (link is to X-T4, the current Fuji APSC camera)

  • Small, light and the dials make it a joy to use. It's also very well built and fully weather sealed which is a huge advantage.

​

• Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f4. Ultra Wide Zoom

  • Great for seascapes.

​

• Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 Standard Zoom

  • Perfect as a one lens solution to keep it light. Decent 'macro' performance for details. Great travel lens also​

​​

• Fujifilm XF 55-200mm f3.5 Telephoto Zoom

  • Easily my most used lens, great for picking out details.

​

Tripods & Heads

   

• Artcise AS80C

  • Not a brand you'll probably recognise. Chinese, bowl head, carbon fibre tripod. Highly recommended. Why pay more?

​

• Benro Geared Head

  • I love the geared head. Makes fine-tuning the composition child's-play, though it is a bit heavy

​

• Cullman Travel Tripod

  • For when I want to go super-light. Pretty stable for its weight, though doesn't go as high as I'd like

​

• Smallrig Ball Head

  • Used with the Cullman legs. Very light, well made an inexpensive

 

Filters

​

• Kase Woverine magnetic filters

  • I no longer use graduated filters - too much faff. These are highly recommended

​

I also carry

​

• Smallrig L Bracket - I wouldn't be without this. It makes switching between landscape and potrait orientation a breeze

• Plenty of spare batteries - I buy 3rd party - about 80% performance for 20% of the price

• Lens cloths & Zeiss Lens wipes

• Extension tubes (cheap Chinese from eBay)

• Old fashioned mechanical cable release
