Camera

• Sony Alpha 7CR

  • Mirrorless

  • 61.0 Megapixels

  • Extremely high resolution

  • Compact and Lightweight - that is until I put on one of the big-ass lenses

• Lenses

  • Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RDX

    • I bought it for lunar and wildlife photography. Relatively lightweight and versatile

  • Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VDX

    • A great lens, but very heavy. It has its own internal stabilization

  • Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art

    • My only prime lens (so far ;-). I bought it for astrophotography, but have used it for MUCH more

  • Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN | Art

    • I bought it for portrait photography, but it is rapidly becoming my favorite all around lens

  • Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6

    • The kit lens that came with camera - actually a really good lens - and small if I don’t want to be too conspicuous

• Pods

  • [pro]master Hitchhiker Convertible tripod

    • I use this A LOT. It is really small, easy to set up, and handy to get interesting, low perspective, shots. Thanks Kathe and Bill!

  • Victiv AT25 tripod, Peak Design Travel Tripod

    • REPLACED!!! with a totally awesome Peak Design tripod made by a totally awesome company! Thank you Bob, Mum and Dad, Philip and Amy, William and Jennette, and Megan!!

    • A fairly good tripod now that I’ve figured out all its quirks. I will probably replace it eventually

  • [pro]master MP528 Monopod

    • Also works as a trekking pole! Thank you again Bill and Kathe!

• Camera Bags

  • Lowepro m-Trekker BP 150 backpack

    • Not the most comfortable, but small. Seems to be getting heavier…

  • [pro]master Cityscape Holster Sling Bag

    • Awesome little bag. We originally bought it to protect the camera from me putting it on the floor of the car in between the seats, but the camera now pretty much lives in it

I would like to thank William and Jennette for giving me a wealth of camera-related gear (lens cleaners, air blower, neck strap, disks, etc).
