My gear
I’ve gathered quite an amount of cameras & lenses throughout the years. Most of which I evently sold again too. After collecting for a long time, I’ve decided to only keep what I will actually use. Below is a list of what the currently looks like.
Sony a7 IV
The Sony A7 IV is my ‘serious’ camera. I got mine (used) in 2025, the 2nd Sony camera I ever owned. It is a very practical and highly capable 33MP, full frame hybrid camera. It does everything I need and then some, and I don’t see any need to upgrade anytime soon.
Sony A7C II
When I got Sony A7 IV, I sold the Sony A7C that got me into Sony full frame in 2024, with the idea to eventually get an A7C II as a ‘secondary body’. And that’s what I did at the start of 2026. The A7C II is pretty much for whenever I want the output of the A7 IV without actually bringing the A7 IV.
Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM
My #1 lens for the Sony FE system. 35mm is my favorite and most used focal lenght for landscape, street and environmental portraits. This f/1.4 GM version is fast, reliable and offers great image quality. If I were to have only one lens, this would be the one.
Sigma 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art
Coming from a 50mm f/1.4 Sigma art lens for my portraiture needs in my Canon days, I once again picked a Sigma lens after moving to Sony, this time a 50mm f/1.2 DG DN Art. I haven’t done many portrait shoots since adding this one to the kit, but if it’s anything like that f/1.4 I had for Canon then we will be BFFs without a doubt.
Sony 24-105mm f/4 G
Although I very much prefer prime lenses, both for their usual better optical qualities but also for their wonderful limiting framing options, I do occasionally have use for an allround zoom. I’ve curently settled on the Sony 24-105mm f/4 G. It’s smaller and lighter than a 24-70mm f/2.8 GM, with more reach and a much smaller pricetag. Perhaps it doesn’t exactly match the I.Q. of the 24-70mm, but for what I use it for, the 24-105mm seemed the better option.
Sony FE 40mm f/2.5 G
The Sony 40mm f/2.5 is a recent addition to my Sony kit. I was looking for a compact (travel) lens that would offer me (most) of the benefits of my PRO level lenses (great I.Q, an aperture ring + custom function button).
Edit: The 40mm is gone. It’s a beautiful lens but it did not fit my shooting style.
Sony 28-60mm f/4-5.6
Whether it’s a keeper I don’t know yet, but I’ve recently purchased this tiny kitlens to have a portable zoom option for travel, daytrips etc where I want to pack light but still have some reach available. Very curious to see What it’s capable of.
Viltrox 28mm f/4.5
One of (if not THE) smallest lenses available for the Sony E mount, this Viltrox 28mm f/4.5 fixed aperture bodycap is actually quite a decent walkaround lens! It makes an A7C line camera pretty close to being actually pocketable. It ure has it’s quirks and limitations, but let me tell you, this tiny lens is fun to use and punches well beyond it’s weight if you ask me.
Ricoh GR III
The Ricoh GR III (HDF) is, as much as I dislike the term, my ‘EDC’ (Everyday Carry): a super compact yet very capable camera I put in my bag when I don’t have any plans but want to carry a camera anyway. Or sometimes when I do, like for street photography or travel.
Canon 5D
After almost 15 years of exclusively using M4/3 cameras, the 2005 Canon 5D I bought used in 2023 was my gateway drug into exploring other systems and formats. Not everything stuck, but 5D sure did. Next to a very simple, pure user experience, there is a unique quality to the images that I absolutely love.
Olympus E-P1
Back in 2009, the Olympus E-P1 was my first M4/3 camera after having owned a bulky and mediocre consumer grade dSLR. I was delighted in every way: the E-P1 as small, lightweight, made beautiful photos and looked amazing with its silver aluminium body. Truthfully, it feel slow and no longer as capable as it used to, but with decent light and not otherwise overly demanding conditions, it’s still a solid performer. I love this camera, still use it from time to time and will never part with it.
Olympus E-300
The 2004 Olympus E-300 is a 8MP Four Thirds dSLR with both an unusual outside and inside with its unique appearance and sideways-swinging mirror. Like the Canon 5D, the Olympus E-300 offers a very unique image quality that I really like. And while its quirky appearance might not appeal to everyone, I do very much like it.
Olympus XA
The original Olympus XA is one of the smallest analog 35mm rangefinders and an absolute beauty if you ask me. While not super easy to focus with it’s tiny lever below the lens, the XA is super fun to use and highly capable. I am not that much of an analog photographer, but I’ll bring out the XA a few times a year just because it’s such a joy to use.
