My Dream Gear

Dream Gear

As I start to think about my future, it is easy for my mind to wander. Reality and Fantasy collide as I click through the pages of camera gear websites and talk in some chat rooms about what is a "must have" for a burgeoning sports photographer. Below is the list I would put together if money were no issue. I am limiting myself to camera, lenses and on camera flashes. This list could get crazy really quickly if I included studio lighting and other luxuries. What is your fantasy gear lineup? Email me here and let me know!

  • 4 Canon 1Dx bodies
  • 2 Canon 5d Mark III
  • Canon 400mm f2.8L IS
  • Canon 300mm f2.8L IS
  • Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS
  • Canon 100mm f2.8L IS Macro
  • Canon 85mm f1.2L
  • Canon 50mm f1.2L
  • Canon 24-70mm f2.8L IS
  • Canon 16-35mm f2.8L
  • Canon 14mm f2.8L Fisheye
  • 6 Canon 600 EX-RT Speedlites
  • 3 Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter
  • Spare batteries, UV filters, and other little pieces that bring it all together
  • Pelican Case to hold it all

I recognize that most of this is not going to happen (especially as I crack into the business), but it sure is fun to dream about shooting with these beautiful cameras and lenses.
