WORK GEAR:
Canon 5d Mark III this is my workhorse camera. I am not easy on equipment and this camera is holding up great.
Canon 85mm 1.2 a great portrait lens, on my camera the majority of every session. It’s heavy though. I’ve had tendonitis a few times in my right elbow because of it.
Canon 50mm 1.2 a wider angle to capture more, sharp and fast, reliable. This is perfect for getting in close. It’s lightweight and easy to take anywhere.
Canon 135mm 2.0 a great zoom, this will go in the casket with me…have to pry from my cold dead fingers. I have two of these. It creates the most beautiful bokeh around.
Canon 24-105mm 4.0 the only lens I own that’s not prime! This is great for group shots and wide angles. This lens is perfect for capturing sunflare.
Canon 100mm 2.0 macro great for all things mini…toes, rings, flowers, eyelashes, bugs . . . you get the picture.
BACK UP GEAR:
Canon 5d and Canon 10d
