Christopher a couple things. 1. YOU HAVE AMAZING MODELS to shoot. 2. I love your work. Your lighting and posing is incredible 3. What camera/lens combo do you find you use most. I am not one of those "You take good pictures, you must have a good camera" people. I am just trying to figure out a combo that I am going to purchase. Thank you sir.

It is true that I am blessed with wonderful models and I thank you for your kind words. I mostly shoot with the X-T3 but sometimes with the X-T30 (very capable camera). My most used lens is the 90mm f2 but I do a fair bit with the 56mm f1.2 as well. If you are trying to save money you could probably pick up a used X-T3 and 90mm for around $1500-$1700 I think. A fantastic combo for portraits in my opinion and amazing video capabilities too. The X-T4 is not worth it to me and I will be waiting for the X-H2 instead.
The catbird was the perfect distance to be at full zoom magnification using my X-T3 + Sigma 150-600 C + Fuji 1.4x. That's 840mm and down in the shadows I went to ISO 2000, 1/100, wide open (about f9).
Art Museum Statues - looked for the correct name of them but I couldn't find any. The one in the middle of the frame is 378 yards line of sight from where I took it 10 floors up across the street. SOOC jpg w/ crop from camera left. Hazy day w/ mucho Philly crud in the air. Big difference between $475 and the current cost of the 100-400. Good enough for me. Any of ya'll out there with the 50-140/2.8 and the TC 2.0, I'd appreciate your thoughts.
7Artisans 50 1.1 on the XP3. I had it on manual exposure @ 1/250 with ISO on A and aperture maybe f2-ish. The 'new' EVF makes it super easy to focus.
It gives surprising snap, and the bokeh looks really nice to me - I added the 1:1 crop to show that and sharpness. The full pic has the face blurred out as requested. It is not a lens defect!
Some people just don't want their face all over the internet. Weird, huh?
Any chance she is employed at one of those agencies with three CAP letters?
