Equipment

I value MFT equipment that provides performance with portability, out-of-mind until I need it, powerful when I do, as I have to pack light for long periods when on walkabout. I also have a predilection for compact fast primes but use zooms when convenience or circumstances demand.

  • OM System OM-5 II
  • Lumix Leica DG Summilux 9mm f1.7 ASPH
  • OM System M.Zuiko ED 20mm f1.4 Pro
  • Olympus M.Zuiko ED 45mm f1.8
  • Olympus M.Zuiko ED 75mm f1.8
  • Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f4 ASPH
  • OM System M.Zuiko ED 12-45mm f4 Pro
  • OM System M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f4 Pro
  • Lumix G-Vario 100-300mm f4-5.6 II Power OIS

This is quite a lot of lenses for one photographer to own but I regard them as my toolkit. each item in the kit has its place and its specific application but it was never, ever intended to be carried around together a single outfit in some sort of backpack, say. Rather I have a golden rule: I mix and match the lenses I actually carry based upon the likely needs of a given venture but never more than at most three lenses (the fewer the better) at any one time. Too much equipment toted around on any particular walkabout is an impediment to

good photography.
