My camera bag » Sarah Ainsworth Photography. For those of you that may read my blog who are more interested in the technical side of photography, more so than just looking at the pictures, I really want to share some of what I have learned along the way with you! People often ask me what kind of equipment I use when shooting. Two or three years ago, I would have said something completely different, but after working in the field a while, I have come to realize the significance in quality equipment.

And by that I mean, unfortunately, very expensive. After using a variety of different camera bodies and lenses, I have witnessed the extreme difference in quality. . - Canon 5D Mark II (my camera), Canon 5D (Sterling’s camera, secondary shooter) – Both of these camera bodies are pristine! - Canon 24 mm 1.4L - Wide! - Canon 50mm 1.2L – Crisp, creamy, fast auto-focus, super shallow depth of field, perfect for low light, portraiture and details! - Canon 85mm 1.2L – Same features as 50 but you can be a little sneakier with it.
