My Camera Kit
Every now and then I see questions on what gear I use to shoot my stuff, so here’s a list…
These are affiliate links. It costs you nothing to use them, but I get a small percentage as a kickback if you make a purchase. It’s therefore the best free way to support me along with watching my videos :)
Also, I’d always recommend checking out mpb.com for used versions of this gear to save some cash. I buy lots of stuff used, all of it on mpb.com. Here are links to countries where they operate:

Fujifilm GFX 100s II
A camera I instantly fell in love with. It’s not the fastest of cameras but in my hands it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever held, and those 100mp files are magic.
(The kit lens is also a bargain…)
Fujifilm 50mm f3.5
I love any pancake lens, but I always love it more if it’s a 40mm pancake, which this is at full frame equivalence. Again, not the fastest of lenses, but plenty fast for me.
Sony A7RV
A camera I’m learning to love. In short it’s a perfect little machine that delivers everything I could ever want from a camera, but it’s utterly void of personality. Not a deal breaker, clearly, but I wish it had a couple of quirks.
Sony A1 II
A very recent edition but technically the most perfect camera I could imagine. It’s essentially an A7RV with the handbrake off. Again, more machine than companion, but what a machine…
Sony 40mm f2.5 G
My go-to focal length and my go-to lens, particularly in cities or tight spaces where I don’t want to look like a photographer who needs a permit. As sharp as it is small, and its metal construction means it’ll last.
Sony 24-50 f2.8 G
The newest addition to my kit. This lens provides the most useful bits of the 24-70’s range (for my work at least) but is just over half of the weight. It zooms out from the long end too, which I love.
Peak Design Outdoor Sling 2L
Room for a couple of batteries, a microphone and some keys. Oh and a Pocket 3 video camera. My perfect bag for days I can get away with being out with a single camera.
Peak Design Outdoor Sling 7L
Like the 2 litre version, but 5 litres bigger. Perfect for when I need to carry a second body and great for bike rides as it comes with a stabilising strap.
Peak Design Outdoor 25L
For when I need to carry all of my kit plus the kitchen sink. Holds all my gear plus a water bladder or laptop, and room for snacks and another layer too.
Peak Design Leash
I’ve got a couple of these. Super comfortable, light and easily adjustable length.
iPhone 17 Pro
My navigation, podcast, email, phone, instagram story, but most of all a genuinely impressive camera. You can, and I have printed huge with the files from the main camera to great effect. To be honest even if this thing did nothing else I’d use it as a pocket camera now.
Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-2600
This thing has no business living in a bedroom of my house (it weighs 140kg so getting it up the stairs was fun), but wow I’m in love. It prints onto 24 inch wide rolls and the colour reproduction is astounding.
I got mine from the helpful guys at Fotospeed:
Fotospeed Platinum Etching Cotton
My paper of choice these days. I like most matte papers, but you always know when you find a special one. I’m yet to find an image that doesn’t look fantastic on this paper. Beautifully textured but offering plenty of detail, I’ll be using this stuff for a long time to come.
I also have a paper discount code for UK and US customers: POPSYS15
