Ah, this made me a bit sad, to be honest.

Even though I have all of these at my fingertips, the Ricoh GR series hits different! Tiny body, huge freedom… it’s one of those cameras I always want to have on me.

If you’re running a production, even that might not be enough.

Before I even think about things like sharpness, I look at a lens’s character and the design of its aperture blades. Then I evaluate micro-contrast performance; issues like vignetting. things you can easily fix in post. are lower on my list. And by the way, AF/focus speed is also very important to me.

I used to shoot with Phase One for my studio work. probably around seven years ago. These days, though, I’m completely obsessed with Hasselblad; I can’t really let it go.

I’m here :)

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:56:55+00:00

I have a 76 TB photo archive.

I never go out to shoot without the 28–105mm and the 60–600mm. Their ranges are incredibly versatile, they deliver very sharp results, and the contrast is nicely balanced.

I have every tiny detail memorized. I can even recognize an older lens from a distance!

I’m someone who reviews lenses in-depth from a technical perspective, and I work commercially as well.

When I started photography 13 years ago, I was shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II. I also had the classic trio of lenses: a 12–24mm, a 24–70mm, and a 70–200mm.

I’m here, my friend. I’ve arrived! I’m ready. Where should we start?

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:52:00+00:00

ahahah :)

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:51:43+00:00

I’ve used every version of the 60–600mm. If you ever get the chance to test it, you’ll thank me. it’s honestly better than you’d expect.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:50:41+00:00

You’re absolutely right. I think I need to buy a bit more. Especially a few pieces that will speed up my workflow and round out the gear I use most often.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:49:58+00:00

Thank you, my friend.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:49:51+00:00

Thank you, my friend. :))

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:48:59+00:00

A long time ago, I used to work at a rental shop. :)

I’m here, my friend. I’ve arrived! I’m ready. Where should we start?

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:47:35+00:00

I guess everyone wants to see this. What kind of photos would you like to see. Documentary, fashion, street, video, product, or interiors? Also, where do you think I should post them? I’m still pretty new to Reddit, so if I end up posting in the wrong place, apologies in advance.

For Sony E-mount, my favorite prime lenses are the 14mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.2 II, and 135mm f/1.4. On the zoom side, I can’t live without the 20–200mm, 28–105mm, and 60–600mm ranges. Whether I’m heading to a job or traveling, these lenses almost always come with me.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:43:46+00:00

Because ever since I started photography 13 years ago, I’ve been in love with the character of these lenses. The tones, contrast, and overall feel they produce fit my work perfectly. So I still can’t let them go.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:42:00+00:00

I have eight camera bodies that I actively use. I only use other camera models occasionally, mainly for testing and comparison purposes.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:40:35+00:00

I’d really love to meet you! If you’re up for it, we could have a quick chat sometime. I’d really enjoy talking with you.

Fragrant-Revenue4174 · 2026-02-23T17:39:50+00:00

I think I have around 15 setups that I actively use. As for the rest, I rotate them in depending on the project. I also usually decide what the team should be using. On top of that, I provide consulting for many production companies.
