Favorite Equipment

from Teddy Mitchener

Canon EOS-1DX Mark III

When conditions are tough, the light is poor but the pressure’s on, the EOS-1D X Mark III lets you capture winning images before the competition. It’s the ultimate creative toolkit, with superb low-light performance, deep learning AF and 5.5K Raw video.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM

The essential telephoto lens for professional photography. A modern classic: this fast-aperture telephoto zoom lens is a favourite with photographers in virtually every genre. It’s now even better in bright light, and engineered to perform in the most challenging conditions.
