Without experience equipment is just a tool that can fascinate and arouse interest, of course, but only when used properly does it have an effect. I have this self-observation: the longer I take pictures, the less I worry about equipment. Obviously - this is a certain simplification: without a sufficiently good and reliable kit it is impossible to take good pictures in many cases. For me, good equipment is one that does not limit me, does not let me down and allows me to improvise when needed.
It is not my intention to write objective product reviews here, so I will dedicate time only to the most unusual or interesting designs that I own and use. I have never considered myself a collector, collection is a side effect of passion and curiosity about the world (in my case)
