SUMMARY
Adventure photographer Chris Burkard, a Sony Artisan of Imagery, details his preferred gear for a streamlined outdoor photography setup in a Sony Alpha YouTube series. While he often uses multiple cameras, this video focuses on a more compact kit. Burkard consistently carries the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II zoom lens, praising its improved handling and weather-sealing. However, his absolute favorite lens is the wider Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II, noted for its sharpness and compactness. The kit also includes the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II and a prime Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM for specific situations, all built around the Sony A7R V camera body.
