Two Ways I Configure My Landscape Kit

Depending on the location, distance, and conditions, I configure my landscape kit in one of two ways. One prioritizes lower weight and flexibility. The other prioritizes image quality and control.

Lightweight & Minimal Kit

When I want to reduce weight and simplify the system, this is the configuration I use:

The 16–30mm covers my wide landscape work and also doubles as a capable astrophotography lens. The 28–400mm provides extensive focal range coverage without carrying multiple midrange and telephoto lenses.

This is the kit I choose for long hikes, backpacking trips, or situations where size and weight matter most.

Higher Image Quality Kit

When image quality is the priority, this is the configuration I use:

This setup gives me flexibility across focal lengths and better aperture control while maintaining consistent optical performance.

For dedicated landscape astrophotography, I switch to fast prime lenses:

These lenses allow me to gather more light and create cleaner files in dark conditions.

This is the configuration I bring when maximum image quality matters most.

Video

For YouTube production and behind the scenes filming, this is the gear I use:
