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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have now updated my lenses to mostly Canon RF they are much faster for the Auto focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have upgraded from R6 to 2 x Canon R6 markIII cameras with the equipment I use and it performs as well if not better in low light as the Canon R6 which I am now going to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Camera of choice for me is the Canon R6 series Mirrorless. I find the original R6 was great but the R6 mk III with its new sensor is even better for the low light \/ night photography like photographing The Northern Lights and is also great for the rest of my photography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use them in combination with an EF to RF lens adapter where necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

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 \u00a3\u00a3\u00a3’s. I have found that it works really well with all the EF lenses I have.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
