Indispensable equipment (2021-2024)

The Pareto distribution describes that 20% of your efforts get you 80% of your results.

Which purchases have been best for me?

  1. Kupo roller (link)
    This is the most versatile tool — right now I use it to hold my 27” monitor. I like the fact it has a good minimum height, compared to other Kupo stands.
    I have used to as a monopod on wheels (for my 105mm lens), which was exceptional.
    It can be used to raise strobes and LED lights.

  2. Arca Swiss ball head (link)
    This thing is so perfectly made, and I have used it as a default for my 105mm lens. It is very practical and although it is expensive, I bought it very useful.

  3. Sigma 105mm f/1.4 (link)
    This is my default lens for portraits and headshots. I use it as f/1.4 and it is very sharp. It is a superb lens and hope to keep using it for many years.

  4. Mac mini
    This is my workstation computer. I may upgrade, mainly because a bigger internal hard-drive would be great. This computer is very powerful and does everything I need as a professional photographer and retoucher.
