Photography

Equipment

The equipment we use as photographers is personal to each of us what suits one person does not suit another, but people keep asking what do you use.

I have now updated my lenses to mostly Canon RF and hope to update my camera soon to the R6 markIII

The Camera of choice for me is the Canon R6 Mirrorless. I find it is great for the low light / night photography like photographing The Northern Lights and is also great for the rest of my photography. I use it in combination with an EF to RF lens adapter where necessary.

I chose the MEIKE EF to RF control ring adapter as Canon ones were hard to come by at the time and it was a lot less £££’s. I have found that it works really well with all the EF lenses I have.

Canon RF 200-800mm
f6.3-9.0 IS USM

with 1.4X = f9.0-13.0

with 2.0X = f13.0-18.0

The teleconverters are the Canon RF 1.4X which gives a 1.4x magnification taking the
200-800 up to 280-1120mm.
100-400mm up to 140-560mm

and the Canon RF 2.0X which gives a 2.0x magnification taking the
200-800mm up to 400-1600mm.
100-400mm up to 200-800mm

The Canon RF 100-400mm f5.6-8.0 IS USM

with 1.4X = f8.0-11.0

with 2.0X = f11.0-16.0

The Canon RF 24-240mm f4.0-6.3 IS USM, this is the lens that will live on the Camera.

The Canon RF 10-20mm

The Sigma 8mm f3.5 EX DG Fisheye is Auto focus and I am having some fun with this lens.
