After a few years saving hard earned money, I’ve updated all my photography equipment, cameras, lenses, etc in preparation for a new year of weddings, portraits and commercial photography.

I use canon DSLR full frame cameras with L lenses. I know my cameras literally from back to front but I would often get frustrated with DSLR’s focus abilities and their accuracy. Zooming in on portraits, DSLR’s can sometimes be off by a few millimetres which is why I would frequently overshoot scenes to at least make sure I nail the shot. At the end of the year I calibrate my lenses or in some cases send my cameras and lenses off to canon for this calibration. Mirrorless no longer need calibration.

After getting my hands on digital mirrorless cameras, I’m finding that I’m shooting subjects less because 99% of the time I’m nailing the shot. Eye focus now enables me to shoot wide open without fear of missing my subjects eye. I can use the 50mm f1.2 at f1.2

Another point that I should mention is that my creativity when photographing anything has increased or widened because focus is no longer an issue!
