Sony Alpha A7iii Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

Sony FE 24-105 mm F4 G Standard Zoom Lens

Sony FE 50mm F1.8 prime Lens

Over the years, the equipment we use has changed from phones and compact cameras to DSLRs. Now, we’ve both now switched to Sony Mirrorless full-frame cameras. We love our Sony Alpha’s due to the super high-quality images they produce, and being lighter-weight means they are more suitable for travel & landscape photography. Also, we felt this will be a good long-term investment because we can now share our lenses. This means we are able to share the weight across our camera bags when we travel together, which helps with hand-luggage restrictions too.

Camera Bags

We like to have a variety of camera bags to carry our photography gear. Ok, so Regan likes to have a selection to choose from depending on the location and type of shoot. Brett likes to use the Manfrotto Pro Light Red Bee Camera bag because he can carry everything in it.
