Do I need all of this for a studio clothing shoot?
I work in film and use this type of gear pretty often. Seems like this dude wants you to rent this stuff so he can take pictures of the gear lol completely unnecessary especially if this is a photo first gig. If I was hired for this type of gig and I only had an A1 I would ask for maybe a rental for

After falling for full frame propaganda... I'm amazed by M43
You have to be blind to not see the Sony/FF propaganda online, if you on YouTube 95% of photography content revolves around Sony/Canon/FF and newbies to be hobby basically think mirrorless camera = Sony because they get brainwashed so much when in reality Olympus and Panasonic mop the floor with Son

If you know, you know
A 6X6 medium format negative has an equivalent digital resolution of ~120 megapixels. A Sony A1 has a resolution of 50.1 megapixels. An 8X10 large format negative has approximately 600 megapixels equivalent resolution. I'm no pixel peeper, but it's just obviously not the case that a professional pho

Leica M11/M11-P as a Dad-Cam/Family Cam?
agree, i can get same amount of good images for kids from m10 compared to sony a1. mf with range finder is not bad and the whole process is much more joyful. also for sony you likely will take thousands of images for a two hours event, nightmare for post processing.

DSLR or Mirrorless? What Camera Are You Using and Why?
I started shooting back in 1999, long before mirrorless was a thing. My roots were in Canon SLRs and later high-end DSLRs, and I shot pretty much everything over the years. Sports, landscapes, portraits, studio work. I was using serious bodies at the time like the Canon EOS 3 and later EOS-1D, 5D se

Please share your First impression of OM-1 Mark-ii
I have recently shot with top level Nikon (Z9, Z8, Z6III) and Sony (A1, A9II, A7SIII). I was a professional motorsports photographer and my primary weekend kit was 2 Z9's and 2 Z6III's (depending on how much video the client wanted vs photos, more video was Z6III's, more photos or bad weather, Z9's)

Which one to keep?
My first mirrorless camera was a Sony A7III. Purchasing it was a big deal since I had been a Canon shooter since I was in the 7th grade. There is no doubt the A7III is objectively the better piece of equipment for 90% of shooting situations. After about a year with the A7III I bought the EOS R to gi

If you had to rebuy into an ecosystem in this year what would you choose?
I needed a new body and wasn't very heavily invested in the Canon ecosystem anyway (only owned two lenses). At that time, I'd already been using a Sony RX100 point & shoot, and they had just released the second gen of their very well reviewed A7R. At that time, I wanted megapixels and full frame mir

How can I take sharper photos?
The sony a9 iii is an incredible camera for sure, I think the very best camera you can have for it would be the sony a1 ii its about double the resolution which helps for birds in flight being able to crop in a bit more and still have a really good image when done. Another very good camera is the so
