A.E.Landes’ Photography Gear
Only 5% of my images are ever seen by another human being. Most live on a hard drive, patiently waiting for deletion. Sad, sad, sad. That is why this blog exists, to hopefully shed some light on those arranged pixels.
My preferred travel and portrait set up: Canon 5D Mk2 with a Leica 21 f/4, Leica 35 f/2, and Leica 90 f/2, along with a Holga loaded up with Ilford HP5 400 BW film. Natural light is my friend, but I will use the 580EX II flash when needed.
My wedding pack is: Canon 5D Mk2 and a Canon 7D, with Canon’s 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, and a 580EX II flash. My backup lens is a 50mm f/1.4, and an older Rebel XT, in case things go really crazy.
Sports is done with: Canon 5D Mk2 and the Canon 24-70 f/2.8. I usually don’t need much longer zoom than that because I like the look of a wide angle for action, and I can usually get pretty close to it since I don’t shoot field sports (yet).
Fun-times to go with: I usually carry a Holga and a Mamiya C3, loaded with BW film or expired film. I chew threw old slide film in a Vivitar Slim and Wide when out on bike rides. I also love putting my Leica lenses back on the R5 SLR and seeing the negatives come out of that thing.
For editing and storage: MacBook Pro (OWC SSD rocks my socks!) with Lightroom/CS5.
