the upside of course is if you don't use your flash (use reflectors for fill, or the side of a building or wall as fill..I have even used the driveway looking out of the garage as fill) you can shoot at any speed you like, and open your lens wide or telephoto for that nice separation. Doing that with strobe is sometimes more difficult depending on your available light due to the sync speed of your flash unless you have fancy HSS turned on..

Some photographers create a list of gear. Many people believe it is to be sold. I thought that that the gear would do better if donated to a High School Photography Club. Another poster implied that the list was intended to be purchased. I offered my suggestion since I know a large gear sale may take an extensive amount of time. Some people don't have an exhorbitant amount of time on their hands.


I did create a list but the admin would not allow a link so I gave up..

I'm not sure what your financial situation is currently. But if your in a hurry to unload your gear, may I offer a kind suggestion? Would you like to donate all or some of your gear to a local high school? You could negotiate a tax deduction. I will be setting up a camera donation to my son's high school. You can private message me for details.


Yes thanks this is a good idea (I was thinking of this relative to the large furniture stuff so maybe this could work for high school or college photography classes). If you have a source that covers my area that would be appreciated....

Well it takes some know how to get proper fill with an on camera flash and taking that off camera with remote trigger adds to that. I would master the on camera fill first then graduate to off camera....

Late to the party but tell your client you will do it free but a donation would be nice if they like your work and sign a release so you can use what you have done..compensation via release.

Edit: I do not have a 5D MK IV (never did) but I do have a 5DS-R...

I have props, backgrounds einstein monolights , light modifiers, canon 5dsr, some lenses, rolling studio stands, furniture all in a gigantic heap in my garage. I have listings on craigslist and Facebook market with photos and prices and looking for local pickup versus shopping. If anyone is interested and in Orange county message me and I will send you to the various items to check out. I tried to list them here before and was told that violated ya'll....

I closed my portrait studio in April and didn't want to pay 250 a month storage.

No. The adapter for the RP works seamlessly with legacy lenses. Why would you put them on Ebay? My point was that going mirrorless ff to save weight is just not doable. The is no significant weight advantage between mirrorless and DSLR cameras of the same sensor size. The weight of the lenses is not affected.


Yes. The point I was trying to make was that if I went with RP I would want lighter lenses (no adapter) or I may as well not bother.

What kit do you think is going to be lighter? An a7 III is 1.43 lbs an EOS RP is 1.07 lbs. The similar 70-200 2.8 lenses both come in at 3.3 lbs. Making the EOS RP the lighter choice. The EOS R is around the same weight as the Sony.

You are only going to save weight if you go down in sensor size and rely on the crop factor.


I have had the Sony A7 II and adapters for Canon lenses; that was unwieldy, unbalanced so I returned it. I will have a look at the RP, but ideally you buy the new lens format and all the rest goes to Ebay! Truly a 47 mp camera with a f1.8 10-200 zoom would be my camera...but that doesn't exist :-)

With all that Canon glass, have you ckd out the Canon R and RP ff mirrowless jobs?


I have not actually held that R camera yet...but to some degree even the Canon glass is too heavy (am okay with the lighter primes and slower 70-200 f4 but the other glass is heavy!)

I have 5d MK III and 5DS-R and lenses; I can tell you that they are now too heavy for lots of hand held use (maybe arthritis with my age at almost 60). I am considering instead the Sony mirrorless FF and making the switch if I can get a lens kit that is significantly lighter. The other cameras you were considering aren't much lighter than the Canons so you may want to consider the size/weight factor...

Well you'd find yourself enjoying the high brow trappings of the wealthy in homes that all look the same. Totally worth it. :-D

I am closing my shop; I can't do two jobs at once in the genre I was hoping to do. If you happen to want a place to work in Irvine, CA it is right at the 5 Fwy, great parking and in a quaint old Irvine Hotel. I will post a date for a closing shop sale sometime early April.

Upside for me is I don't have to uninstall the muslin tracks, track lighting, and strobe mounts in the camera room if you're a photographer:-)

Thanks for looking,

Was there any genuine interest? I am earnestly trying to find another photographer for this suite.


So I guess you were just trolling your "I use film, I am different" or what?
