CAMERA KITS
ADVANCED PRO CAMERA KIT
FUJIFILM GFX 50S, GFX 50R & GFX 100, GDX 100S MEDIUM FORMAT SYSTEM
Fujifilm GFX 50S medium format mirrorless camera
This is my main camera that I use for my fine art and high-end client work. The most affordable mediul format mirrorless camera, the Fujifilm GFX 50S delivers the world's best image quality. It combines outstanding resolution of 51.4 megapixels with exceptional tones, advanced color reproduction and high-performance lenses. With a 43.8x32.9mm CMOS medium format sensor, and an effective resolution of 51.4 million pixels, it is the best tool for making large format prints, capturing majestic architecture, landscape or portraiture images. et the Fujifilm GFX with the best market price from Adorama at the link above.
To learn everything about this amazing camera, you can read here a complete review I made, the most extensive GFX review to date, of the Fujifilm FX 50S – Complete Review Fujifilm GFX 50S. Also, if you want to shoot long exposure with medium format, with the Fujifilm GFX 50S or other medium format camera you can read my tutorial and review Long Exposure Photography with Medium Format.
A less expensive alternative for the Fujifilm GFX 50S is the Fujifilm GFX 50R, a smaller version with fewer features, but still, a great camera since the 2 cameras give you the same high-quality images.
If you want to upgrade to 100 megapixels you can choose either the Fujifilm GFX 100 or the Fujifilm GFX 100S . The GFX 100 will be more fit for studio work or if you need the incorporated grip to shoot vertical, while the GFX 100S will be more suitable for work in the field and for more flexibility since it doesn’t have the incorporated grip and is smaller. For my style of photography, architecture and landscape, the Fujifilm GFX 100S is the best fit.
Fujifilm GFX 100S Medium Format Mirrorless Camera
Fujifilm GFX 100S had the same quality as the GFX 100 but in a smaller size making it ideal for shooting n the field. The GFX100 system pairs a back-illuminated 102MP imaging sensor with the Fujifilm blazingly fast X Processor 4 processing engine to create a combination capable of outputting 16-bit images with amazing color fidelity, rich shadow detail, and incredible dynamic range. Its back-illuminated structure enhances image quality by bringing the exposure plane closer to the color filter array. This minimizes noise levels from that typically experienced with mirrorless cameras and extends the native ISO to ISO 100. Sharpness is also enhanced, while moire and false colors are near eliminated through the omission of an optical low-pass filter. Lastly, the inclusion of a motion sensor retention mechanism suppresses even the slightest vibrations that may be caused by camera shake or the even the movement of the shutter.
Fujifilm GFX 100 Medium Format Mirrorless Camera
Fujifilm GFZ 100 is the largest Fujifilm medium format cameras and it is more suitable for studio work or when the incorporated vertical grip is beneficial. The GFX100 system pairs a back-illuminated 102MP imaging sensor with the Fujifilm blazingly fast X Processor 4 processing engine to create a combination capable of outputting 16-bit images with amazing color fidelity, rich shadow detail, and incredible dynamic range. Its back-illuminated structure enhances image quality by bringing the exposure plane closer to the color filter array. This minimizes noise levels from that typically experienced with mirrorless cameras and extends the native ISO to ISO 100. Sharpness is also enhanced, while moire and false colors are near eliminated through the omission of an optical low-pass filter. Lastly, the inclusion of a motion sensor retention mechanism suppresses even the slightest vibrations that may be caused by camera shake or the even the movement of the shutter.
An alternative to Fujifilm GFX cameras, is the Hasselblad XD1-50c Medium Format Mirrorless camera. Another great camera, even if more expensive than the GFX.
A less expensive option, even not a mirrorless, but a DSLR camera, is the Pentax 654Z medium format camera.
As far as 100mp medium format cameras, there is also the Hasselblad H6D-100c Medium Format DSLR Camera if you’re ready to spend more than 32k for the body alone.
And if you won the lottery or just sold your house and don’t know where to spend the money fast, you can try the Phase One XF IQ4 150MP Camera system for almost 50k (this time you’ll get the Schneider Kreuznach 80mm LS lens together with the body).

My second camera is a Canon 5D MKIII, but if you're thinking about investing in a full-frame DSLR at this moment I would recommend the Canon 5D MKIV since it is a newer model with quite a few improvements and a higher resolution. I love my 5D MKIII and the 5D MKIV is even better. The Canon 5D MKIII may be les expensive though and more budget friendly if you want to save some money. The 5D MKIV has a full-frame CMOS 30.4 megapixel sensor and it shoots 4K video. It has all the features you can find in a modern full-frame camera and it shoots up to 7.0 fps.

A very good alternative for the Canon 5D MKIV, and a great camera all-around is the new Nikon D850 that had great reviews so far and has a similar lens range and accessories.
Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Tilt-Shift Lens
My favorite and most used tilt-shift lens. Exceptional lens for architecture and landscape photography, together with the 17mm tilt-shift. With a tilt-shift lens I can correct verticals and extend the depth of field even when shooting at wide apertures. I am using this lens every time I can shoot architecture with this focal lens. It covers more cases than the 17mm TS and it gives a less extreme wide angle lens feel, which makes it very versatile. It has an enhanced range of movement of up to +/- 8.5°, and easily operated tilt and shift knobs. The good thing is that I can use all my Canon lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera with an adapter.

Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L Tilt-Shift Lens
My second tilt-shift lens that helps me tremendously when i shoot in narrow spaces or need to cover a wider angle of view. Exceptional lens for architecture and landscape photography, together with the 24mm tilt-shift. With a tilt-shift lens I can correct verticals and extend the depth of field even when shooting at wide apertures. I am using this lens every time I can shoot large or very tall architectural objects, see skyscrapers, or need to get all the scene in landscape photography. It extends the possibilities I have with the 24mm TS and it is indispensable for shooting in "vertical" cities like New York and for a pro photographer. The lens has a tilt & shift knob with an enhanced range of movement of up to +/- 6.5°. The good thing is that I can use all my Canon lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera with an adapter.

Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens
This lens covers very well the wide angle range between the field of view of my 17mm and 24mm tilt-shift lenses, and whatever is wider than what the 24-105mm lens can shoot, which makes it a very versatile wide angle zoom lens and this is why I love it. The good thing is that I can use all my Canon lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera with an adapter. Get the best offers for the 17-40mm lens at the link above.
Canon EF 16-35mm f/4.0L IS USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens
An even better alternative for the Canon EF 17-40mm (yet more expensive) is the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4.0L IS USM. While they cover pretty much the same field of view, the 16-35 mm is an overall sharper lens, with less cromatic aberration and geometric deformations on the edges. You will pay some more for it but if quality is paramount for you, it will be worth it. The even better alterative is the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM - with wider aperture for better results in lower light and even better image quality. Of course the price will be higher, but as far as gear is concerned, my advice is to buy the best you can afford, right from the start.
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM zoom lens
My go-to all-around lens, with great image quality and extremely versatile for quick shooting and for the most widely used focal lengths. It stays on my camera at all time when I travel and I replace it with another lens only when I need a specific look, like in the case of the tilt-shift lenses, or a different focal length The good thing is that I can use all my Canon lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera with an adapter. Get the best offers for the 24-105mm lens at the link above.
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
Excellent for shooting details or close-ups, panoramas, distant cityscapes, also portraits with shallow depth of field at f/2.8, the lens give great image quality and beautiful bokeh. It has a great image stabilizer that really helps when shooting handheld zoomed in at 200mm. The good thing is that I can use all my Canon lenses on the Fujifilm GFX 50S camera with an adapter.

ENTHUSIAST CAMERA KIT
NIKON D7500 DX-FORMAT (CROP FRAME) SYSTEM
Nikon D7500 DX-format Digital SLR Camera
I used to work with the Nikon D7000 and still do sometimes, and it is a great camera for its purpose. The D7500 is the newest model and it has many improvements. If you are an enthusiast photographer and need a relatively accessible DSLR solution the Nikon D7500 is a great choice I can recommend. Being a crop frame camera you can use it to get even longer focal lengths from your lenses, very useful for shooting at longer distances than with a full frame camera with the same lens. Get the best offers for this camera at the link above.
An alternative for the Nikon D7500 is the Canon 80D that has a similar lens range and accessories.
Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX NIKKOR Lens
One of the best quality aide angle zoom lenses for DX cameras. I've shot a lot of architecture and landscape with this lens. Get the best offers for it from the link above.
Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S NIKKOR Lens
Excellent quality lens. I love shooting with it portraits and street photography. It has beautiful soft bokeh and great colors. Get the best offers for it from the link above.
Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC PZD Lens
Very good all-around lens covering an impressive focal length range. Great for shooting fast at different distances and with different composition approaches. Very useful when traveling. I used to have it on my camera all the time while shooting on the move. Get the best offers for it from the link above.
Nikon 18-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX NIKKOR VR Lens
A better and newer alternative for the Tamron 18-270mm id the Nikon 18-300mm f3.5-5.6G. I warmly recommend this lens for overall photography or for traveling, when you need to work fast and cover different fields of view without needing to switch lenses too often. This can be the difference between getting the shot and losing it forever. The best thing is that the quality of this lens is very high, despite the large zoom range it covers.
