My Gear
I converted from full frame to Olympus M43 in early 2018 and I now shoot exclusively with OM System / Olympus cameras and lenses. I am incredibly happy with my OM gear, which is light, ergonomic, and ‘intelligent’.
My personal kit list is currently as follows:
- Olympus OM-1 II and OM-1 bodies – for wildlife and landscape
- Olympus 150-400 f4.5 Pro lens – my go-to wildlife long lens
- Olympus 40-150 f2.8 Pro lens – an amazing lens for larger insects
- Olympus 12-45 f4 Pro lens – an ultra-lightweight landscape and travel lens
- Olympus 60mm f2.8 Macro lens + extension tubes
- Olympus 90mm f3.5 macro lens with Novoflex tripod collar
- Olympus MC14 1.4x extender
Ancillary equipment
- Shimoda v2 30 camera back-pack with ‘Large Mirrorless’ core unit – by far the best backpack I have ever used!
- Billingham Hadley Small Pro bag – light and small for travel
- Benro carbon tripod with levelling head
- Flex Shooter Mini tripod head for hide work
- Peak design travel tripod – an amazing small tripod for mobile landscape work and now my go-to for macro
- Manfrotto 290 carbon monopod fitted with a Wimberly MH100 ‘mono-gimbal’ head – a fantastic combo with the 150-400 f4.5
- Cognisys Sabre laser trigger – for bats-in-flight
- Cactus RX60x flashes and stands – for bats-in-flight
- Various LED lights for macro work
