My Photographic Gear
Some history
For many years, I shot Nikon DX, primarily because I had migrated from a Fuji S2 Pro and was invested in the glass. I moved to a Nikon D90 because it was one of the few bodies to have an inbuilt focusing motor which at least one of my existing lenses needed.
In June 2020, I became aware of a deal from Olympus UK which offered a OM-D10 Mk3 with a 14-42mm and a 45mm f1.8 prime for silly money. I succumbed and quickly fell in love with the feature-rich body, the outstanding image stabilisation and light-weight package.
Was I worried that I had gone to a smaller sensor? Not at all. I had jumped from 12 megapixels to 16 megapixels with a much more modern body and an improvement in image quality that was quite outstanding.
By March 2021, I had added an OM-D 1 Mk 2, 12-40mm Pro lens and a 60mm Macro. Heck, these things are good. Later, I added a 40-150 F2.8 Zoom and a 30mm Macro capable of 1.25X magnification.
Below is my main photography kit. If you would like to buy any of these items, there are links provided (from which I will get a small percentage commission which all goes towards my next coffee).
