Fuji
​
Fuji X-T5 - My main photography camera. Size, weight, cost, user interface, lens selection, image quality, this is the total package and it excels in every category. Dual UHS II card slots, a 3 way articulating LCD, big bright 3.6 million dot EVF, and the stunning 40mp X-Trans sensor that delivers outstanding image quality. Add 422 Flog2, 10 bit oversampled from 6K - 4K and video for the total package. The processor is fast and the camera is a pleasure to use.
​
Fuji X-H2 - My main video/vlogging camera. It is it is more suited for solo video creation for me as the fully articulated and non flip screens don't play nice with L brackets so it's not ideal for still photography but I do use it for more spontaneous stills and when I'm not using a tripod. It makes a great back up camera for the X-T5 as it uses the same 40mp X-Trans sensor. If it had the Sony A7RV's flip and articulated screen I'd just run two of them. The viewfinder is better than the X-T5 as is the buffer and the shutter is rated to 500K clicks. But the X-T5's user modes are better as you can have 14 of them - 7 for stills and 7 for video. With the X-H2 you only get 7 either or, mix and match.
​
Fuji X-T3 - I still have my made in Japan X-T3 I bought way back in 2018. These days I use it as my EDC camera with the Fujichrons in a Domke 801 bag. I do sometimes miss the image stabilizer but it's great to have a camera with me all the time.
​
Fuji 10-24mm F4 WR - A FANTASTIC lens that has a mixed reputation. I think there is a bit of sample variation in these, so if you have one that's not great, you might want to try a different one. I am full confident in the copy I have to resolve the 40mp sensors well.
​
Fuji 16-80mm F4 WR - A great landscape/travel normal zoom that goes from 24-120mm in full frame terms and is great at all focal lengths and up to the demands of the 40mp sensor. I can use it for video as well.
​
Fuji 70-300mm - A super sharp lens that is a pleasure to use. For under $800 USD, it's a steal. Light and easy to carry, it's my tele lens I bring with me all the time and is lighter and smaller than most full frame 70-300mm F4 lenses which is amazing considering it's a 100-450mm full frame equivalent.
Fujichrons - The 16/23/35/50mm WR lenses The 23 and 35 I use for video work and all of them I use for my EDC carry bag with either my X-T5 or trusty X-T3.
​
Fuji 8mm - This is my newest Fuji lens and I don't shoot wide a lot, but this lens is so small and so good I thought I'd like to have it in my bag.
​
Chamonix 45N-2 My workhorse 4x5 Large Format film camera. It's exquisite, lightweight, fast to use, solid, and a pleasure to use. 4x5 film is so much easier to shoot and process than 8x10 and the results are quite similar. Digital photography is CGI in comparison. I will continue to shoot film for as long as I can, there is no modern technological replacement.
​
Intrepid 4x5 Gen 4 and 5 Great value for money. The Gen 5 is very nice to use, and if I didn't have the Chamonix, I would use this as my main camera with no issues. The lens boards are interchangeable with the Chamonix. I use my Intrepid Gen 4 4x5 as a dedicated enlarger with the Intrepid enlarger kit. Works great.
​
Caltar II 90mm f6.8 Very sharp Calumet rebranding of a Rodenstock lens. Great lens, very sharp. My 4x5 wide angle.
​
Nikkor 135mm F5.6 A wide normal lens for 4x5.
​
Calumet II 210mm f6.8 A longish normal for 4x5.
​
Nikkor 300mm F9 M Telephoto on on 4x5, normal lens on my Intrepid 8x10.
​
Intrepid 8x10 - I'm glad they made this camera, if it were not so affordable I'd never have had the opportunity to shoot an 8x10. It's a very serviceable and competent camera for the money. There are better out there, but they are over 10x the price. My Nikkor 300mm covers 8x10 and I also have a Fuji 240mm lens for it.
