Hi,
For many years I have been keen in photography. In the last two years good family and friends have helped me towards becoming a professional photographer. In a rather short time I have enjoyed watching my photography skills grow and my photographs improve. Just through word of mouth I get offered paid work on almost a weekly basis ranging from family portraits to weddings and Landscapes.
I enjoy my limited experience shooting in my own studio (Time constraints, family etc) and I have shot several weddings. I have struggled a little with the weddings as I feel I take too much camera gear with me and end up changing at the last min which body/lens to use only to find I have lugged that weight around for nothing.
I know this question has probably been done to death, but can you guys :hail:advise me which of the gear listed below YOU would take and why? I can't afford any faster glass at the moment but it would be nice to scale my bag back.... Would love your take on this.
I have three bodies... I know I don't need three but a backup is always good.
Canon 5D3, 5D2, 7D
Lenses I carry... ( do I really need them all)
Canon 24mm-105mm
Canon 17mm-40mm
Canon 85mm -1.8
Canon 100mm-400mm
Canon 50mm 1.8
Mecablitz 58 Flash
Spare batteries and cards
Lens cloth
Light meter (Never used it yet)
I have three weddings coming up and it would be lovely to make my bag a little lighter.
Kind Regards
Simon :blushing:
