Michael’s Equipment

Michael shoots with Canon gear. He uses professional equipment including the Canon EOS 1 series camera bodies (currently a 1Dx Mark II) and a selection of ‘L’ series Canon lenses including the Canon EF100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS II USM zoom, a Canon EF24-70mm f2.8L II USM zoom, a Canon EF16-35mm f2.8L III USM zoom, and a Canon EF70-200mm f2.8L IS III USM zoom plus prime lenses including the Canon EF85mm f1.2L II USM and Canon EF85mm f1.4L IS USM lenses. In addition, he uses the Canon extenders (EF1.4X III and EF2.0X III) and the Canon Speedlite EX flash along with a variety of filters.

However, more than 90% of the photos displayed on this website are taken with the Canon 100-400mm Mark I, Mark II and Mark III lenses. This lens (particularly the Mark III) provides a great combination of quality and flexibility whilst relatively lightweight when compared to the prime fixed focal length zooms.
