Over the last 20 years of photography I have used lots of alternative equipment to capture my images. In the late noughties, I was adapting anything and everything onto my Canon EOS 1Ds Mk3 DSLR – a Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8, a Contax 35-70mm, a Contax 28mm f/2 for astro, an Olympus 35mm shift lens for architecture. It gave me an edge and different thinking.
The same goes for camera bodies. In 2014 I bought a Canon EOS 1Dx for tours in the arctic, which became my goto weather sealed camera for professional shoots. It never saw a bird or a sports car, but there is something about professional Canon bodies that empowers me.
