There are some people that love the gear-talk, and it can be addicting – there is always something new on the market that draws in enthusiasts and casual users alike, leading to never-ending discussions and video reviews about the latest specifications, accessories, and trends.
However, sometimes, it’s good to lean into what you have and appreciate its capabilities. “The best camera is one that you have,” and it is essential to remember that every piece of equipment has its strengths. Use it and learn it; there are so many possibilities.
Sony A7iii
This is my primary camera. It is a workhorse and has everything I need.
Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III
This lens is on my camera most of the time. It’s a very good all-around which takes clean photos.
Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD
This is a brand new lens for me. I wanted something that I could leave on my camera that covers a large focal range.
Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III
For landscape or street photography – this thing is great.
Sony a6100
This was my first camera getting back into photography. It’s a good little camera with 4K video.
Sigma 35mm
This combined with the a6100 are great combo for photos or video.
iPhone 16 Pro
Like most folks, my phone is with me everywhere I go – might as well use it.
DJI Mini 2
This little guy does well in fairly-windy conditions and is breeze to fly.
