My photo equipment !
My youngest, a concentrate of technology, light, versatile, and adventurous.
It is the first device to permanently remove all mention of the “Olympus” brand, after its parent company sold its photo division.
With IP53 certification, it can be used without fear in the rain or a snowstorm.
Its 5-axis stabilized sensor allows it to shoot shots at 50 Mpix handheld and 80 Mpix on a tripod.
The taut lines of the OM-5 are reminiscent of certain film cameras… Personally, I love this vintage look !
My faithful partner!
It’s lightweight and easy to carry, making it a great choice for outdoor adventures, travel, and street photography.
It allows me to capture spontaneous moments with ease, while providing exceptional image quality.
A 16 MP CMOS sensor (32 MP equivalent in Full Frame) and a 5-axis stabilizer… what more could you ask for in such a small format?
PANASONIC LEICA DG 100-400mm F/4-6.3 ASPH POWER O.I.S
Recently purchased to complement my 12–100mm, I really appreciate the compact size of this telephoto lens—less than 1 kg and only 17 cm long, offering a 200–800 mm equivalent in 35mm format.
It’s primarily designed for wildlife photography, but that’s not how I use it. In reportage or street photography mode, it’s remarkably effective: when shooting outdoors with room to move, this telephoto lets you stay at a distance from your subjects, capturing natural shots without being noticed.
The built-in optical image stabilization (OIS) is impressive—better even than that of my Olympus bodies, making a tripod unnecessary.
Its build is solid, featuring no fewer than 20 elements in 13 groups, including 1 aspherical lens, 2 ED lenses, and 1 UD lens.
To top it off, it’s fully weather-sealed, which is an absolute must for me.
OLYMPUS M. ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-100 F/4 PRO
The perfect combo for travel, street photography… and even studio portraits.
For the past two years, it’s been my everyday tool — it follows me everywhere, all the time.
Its constant aperture, weather sealing, compact size, and relatively light weight (516 grams)… I love everything about it.
The optical design of this lens is complex, with 17 elements arranged in 11 groups. Among the most notable features are five ED (extra-low dispersion) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, three aspherical elements, one DSA (dual super aspherical) element, one HR (high refractive index) element, and two Super HR (super high refractive index) elements.
It’s a true Swiss army knife that can do just about everything — it’s become my best companion.
OLYMPUS M. ZUIKO DIGITAL ED25 MM F/1.2 PRO
This is my perfect companion for night photography and portraits.
Equivalent to 50 mm in Full Frame, it is probably one of the best fixed focal lengths, all focal lengths combined, for the Micro 4/3 system.
It presents quite exceptional characteristics including a very sophisticated optical construction based on no less than 19 lenses, Z Coating Nano surface treatment, tropicalized manufacturing.
The lens has a particularly compact design and has a focusing system that works faster and more precisely than any I have previously tested, because the autofocus is driven by a single element of the lens.
OLYMPUS 14-42 mm f/3.5-5.6 ZUIKO DIGITAL EZ
My latest acquisition, second-hand on MBP this time.
It is the thinnest hybrid photo lens in the world, only 22.5 mm thick and weighing less than 100g.
This “Pancake” delivers a 3x mechanical optical zoom for great versatility. The lens covers focal lengths 28 mm to 84 mm in 35mm.
I use it exclusively on my OM DE 10 Mark2, my second camera, the minimalist size and light weight of this combo allows me to always have something with me to take photos, its small size makes it ideal for photography of street, the zoom is smooth and its total length does not change when zooming.
Ideal for observation and scouting, in landscape photo mode, or simply for exploring wildlife from a distance.
The large objective lens diameter ensures bright, high-resolution images, even in low-light conditions.
Advanced optical technology and aspherical lenses provide a high level of optical performance by reducing image distortion and chromatic aberration, resulting in sharp images and a clear field of view.
After my studio photography training, I bought the Godox V1 because I was looking for a versatile flash that could be mounted as a hot-shoe flash on my cameras.
I also wanted a studio flash that could be triggered remotely.
I was drawn to the Godox ecosystem and the wide range of available accessories. It offers great modularity, allowing me to express my creativity freely — indoor shots, low light, backlighting, studio photography, portraits…
Personally, I like:
• the magnetic mount for instant accessory attachment
• compatibility with the AK-R1 modifier kit
• the quick-locking hot shoe
• its rotatable head (0 to 330° horizontally and -7 to 120° vertically), which is great for working in all positions and with bounce lighting
• firmware updates via USB port
Roughly the size of a small GoPro, but twice as light, the X3 Nano attaches easily to my camera thanks to its universal hot shoe.
A second hot shoe on the back lets me directly mount another flash on top.
Its backlit control screen makes it easy to use in any lighting conditions.
When connected to the free GodoxPhoto app, I can control both my flashes effortlessly from my iPhone via Bluetooth!
The X3 Nano supports TTL auto-exposure metering and high-speed sync up to 1/8000s, giving me full creative flexibility.
It pairs perfectly with my Godox V1.
This softbox helps me achieve ideal lighting for both my studio work and on-location shoots.
It has a 70cm diameter and a silver interior surface for high contrast.
It comes with two diffusers — an inner diffuser and a front diffuser — which produce softer light when installed.
The support rods snap easily into the speedring; the system is extremely sturdy and secured with locking buttons.
I bought this reflector for outdoor portrait photography.
It features a Bowens S-type mount, so it fits perfectly on the light stand of my Godox softbox.
This 18 cm diameter beauty dish is designed to focus the light beam without altering the color temperature.
I tested it in Scotland last year — it’s truly a great tool for outdoor use.
