I get lots and lots of questions on equipment and what I use. I am a canon girl all the way! My body is the 5D and I have a variety of lenses. I have a few lenses that I take with me ALL the time…The 50mm 1.2 is by far my favorite lens right now. I use it almost the entire time during my sessions. I also have the 70-200mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8 and the Fisheye with me on every shoot. I have the 580EX2 Speedlight…But I don’t use this very often…Maybe sometimes when shooting newborns in client’s homes…but normally it just takes up space in my bag…speaking of bags..to carry all my loot I have a Shootsac and the 7 Million Dollar Crumbler bag. I love the Crumbler because it doesn’t SCREAM camera bag filled with loads and loads of high dollar camera equipment. I also have a few battery packs, couple of 8gig CF cards and a back up body.
I like to keep it simple and easy…Some folks get all caught up in the gear…you know the ones…I have this and this and this and this and this and this…the list goes on and on…and they love to tell you the fancy names of them….. but really all you need is a good body with a deep understanding of how it works, a few good pieces of QUALITY glass (not quanity) and most importantly a great eye to capture it all!
Hope that helps a little.
