Gear

Does gear matter? Well sometimes it does, but the brand does not. Just choose what you are confortable with and learn how to use it to its full potential. As a landscape photographer I do not need to have the newest model, a lot of my most favorit photos were made on a Canon 6D.

I would recommend to buy gear second hand, this makes it a lot more affordable. And I never had a bad experience with second hand gear sofar.

Cameras

• Canon Eos 5DSR

  My main camera, as a landscape photographer it is the best value for your money. What I like the most about it, is that I can crop my images heavily. This camera is out of production and can only be bought second hand. I have owned it since 2017 and it never let me down..

• Canon Eos R

  This is my backup camera, paired with the RF 24-240 lens, it is my light weight “one lens” setup, I use it on longer hikes for scouting new locations. It is really a great all-around camera.

Zoom Lenses

• EF 24-70mm IS USM

  This is my standard zoom lens, its light and offers good image quality. It also has dedicated macro mode that comes in handy, when I do not have my macro lens with me.

• Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM

  Wide angle lens, excellent optical performance and light weight.

• Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM

  A very versatile telephoto lens which offers great image and build quality, while being relatively light weight. This is certainly my favorite lens.

• Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM

  If I just could pick one lens for a trip, this would be it. I use it in combination with my Eos R for long hikes and scouting trips. The focal range covers almost all of my needs. Unfortunately its not weather sealed.

Prime Lenses

• Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

  The plastic fantastic, it offers good image quality and very light weight. I use this lens for austophotography. .

• Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

  Old but gold, it gets the job done. Great image quality for a small price tag. I use this lens for makro photography.

• SAMYANG 14MM F/2.8 ED AS IF UMC for Canon

  Ultra wide angle prime lens, fantastic for astro photography.

Tripods & Heads

• iFootage Gazelle Tripod TC9-Fastbowl

• Acratech Panoramic Head

  Gets the job done, Great build quality but expensive.

• Velbon Ultra 655 Stativ

  My second tripod, actually this is the first one I bought, its still working flawless after 10 years of useage. I use it as a backup or if I want to set up both cameras at once. I use it with a Siriu ballhead.

• SIRUI K-10X

  The first ballhead that I bought in 2012, its still working flawlessly, speaks for its build quailty.

Backpacks

• Boblbee PROCAM 500XT

  I used this pack on almost every week since 2012, its comfortable to wear and I can carry up to 2 full frame camera bodies and 4 lenses with me. Once had to replace the main zipper. Its expensive but its build quality is well worth its price.
