Main Camera Setup
The Canon EOS R8 is my main camera because it’s fast, light, and gives really good full-frame image quality. I use it for most of my shoots since the autofocus is reliable and it works in pretty much any situation. It’s the camera I always grab when I just need something that works.
The Canon RF 50mm F/1.8 STM is my main lens because it’s small and simple but still gives really sharp photos. I use it a lot for portraits and general shooting because the 50mm look feels natural. It’s just an easy lens to take with me when I don’t want to overthink my setup.
The Canon RF 16mm F/2.8 STM is the lens I use the least because it’s very wide and not always useful for the kind of photos I usually take. I mainly bring it out when I need a lot of the environment in the frame or want a more creative, distorted look. Most of the time it stays in my bag unless I specifically plan for wide shots.
Canon EOS R50
The Canon EOS R50 is my backup camera that I always take with me when I need reach. I use it with my zoom lens because it gives me extra flexibility for getting closer to subjects without moving in. It’s also lighter than my main setup, so it’s handy when I know I’ll need extra distance or variation in framing.
The Canon RF-S 55-210mm is my zoom lens that I always take with me when I need reach. It’s useful for getting closer to subjects without physically moving in, and it works well for portraits, details, and compressed backgrounds. I use it a lot when I want more distance or flexibility in framing.
