Canon EOS 6D Mark II
Great full frame camera, second-hand, but almost unused before, solid work horse. The only thing that makes me a bit scared sometimes is the fact that it doesn’t have two card slots for backup (and it’s why I plan to upgrade in the future, likely to Canon EOS R6 Mark II), but other than that it’s everything you could wish for.
Canon EF 50mm f/1,8 STM
The go-to for daily use lens, sharp, f/1,8, lightweight. I usually take at least few pictures in the set because of its strong autofocus, to have backup photos to come back to. Some people would scoff at the fixed aperture, but to me it’s a plus to always keep you vigilant about composition!
IRIX 45 mm f/1,4 Dragonfly
My personal favourite for taking staged full portrait photos. Manual focus, but excellent sharpness, great light and bokeh, all for a reasonable price. The only drawback is quite some weight, as Irix lenses are lots of glass and steel. Many showcase pictures in the gallery are taken with this lens.
IRIX 150 mm f/2,8 Macro Dragonfly
Absolute favourite of mine, usually for macro, but can also take some nice detail pictures and even longer range stuff – just expect to be quite far from your subject. Great for taking interesting closeup pictures of of your cosplay!
LENSBABY Velvet 85 mm f/1,8
Very practical portrait lens, sharp around f/8, but when we open it to f/2.8 and more, we get a nice, glowy softness. Sometimes it can be too much around f/1.8, though so a bit of patience might be needed here.
Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro 1:1 SHIFT
Another macro lens, but can be used in general for impressive wide angle photos, where we can get more with you into the frame, or you can seem big in the composition.
TTAritsan 250mm f5.6 Reflex Lens
Tricky lens to work with, for very far or close compositions, with an interesting bubble effect on highlights and blurs. Certainly not for every photo, but can be useful for some artistic intents and tries.
