Camera Kit

    Digital

    There is no point in a camera that you don't have with you. And while phones can sometimes be "good enough", you can't cheat physics. I prefer to bring a mirrorless that I could easily carry in my hand on a multi-hour hike, over a heavy DSLR that stays in a backpack or at home.

    I used to shoot exclusively using prime lenses for their portability and significant weight reduction. Since purchasing an E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS, it's become my exclusive lens for it's versatility. It compromises portability, but wins out not having to carry separate lenses and swap them around.

    "They don't make them like they're used to". And this one is one of the most beautiful cameras ever made. Often comes bundled with a Zuiko 50mm f2.8, but get the f1.4 if you can find one.
