    Seeking Focus – Episode 58: Our Lenses & Drones

    In this episode of Seeking Focus, we talk through the camera lenses and drones that have become part of our everyday kit — what we use, why we use it, and where each piece of gear fits into our workflow.
    We cover some of our favourite Canon L-series and Sony G Master lenses, along with Marty's dronehack

    We chat about:

    • Why lens choice can completely change the look of a shoot
    • Our go-to focal lengths and when we use them
    • Canon L-series vs Sony G Master lenses
    • Balancing image quality, portability and practicality
    • What gear actually earns its place in the bag
    • The equipment we reach for most on real jobs
    • This episode is less about specs and more about real-world use — the gear we trust, the compromises we make, and what works for the type of content we create.

      If you're into photography, filmmaking, drones or camera gear, this one should be right up your alley.
