My Photographic Equipment

  • Introduction

    Being a landscape/cityscape photographer that typically will be either climbing up a mountain or fell, walking miles around a city, or along long hiking trails, my photographic equipment is a constant balance between image quality and weight. For this reason I use Fujifilm cameras for my landscape photography,

    My main camera is a Fuji XT-5 with its incredible 40 megapixel APSC size sensor. The XT-5 gives me all the resolution and detail that I need, and has the ability to capture extraordinary clarity and stunning levels of image quality .

    As a back up to my XT-5 I have the Fuji XS10 . This gives me not just the ability to capture fantastic stills from its 26 megapixel sensor, but with its fully articulating screen the XS10 also gives me the opportunity to Vlog or capture video when I need it.

    These two cameras are paired with the lightweight 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 lens and the fantastic 70-300mm F4-5.6 lens giving me a wide range of focal length to capture near or far subjects.

    Below I have included the weights of my cameras and lenses so you can see how I strive to maintain a lightweight pack but still achieve the maximum in image quality.
