I can use help from Experts
I’m pursuing photography as my hobby with main interest in Portrait and Macro. I always wanted to explore on the landscape photography and as a bucket list item, i always wanted to freeze water and capture beautiful colors of nature. I’d like to expand my existing gear to accommodate landscape photography in it so system will naturally expand and fit. Attaching only 2 landscape pictures i've taken so far. (In 13+ years)
Here is my existing gear
My Limitation:
Here are options i checked.

Here is my existing gear
- Phase one XF, IQ3 100mp with 120 Macro BR & 240 BR as primary
- Nikon D850 with 135 F2 & 200 F/4 macro as backup
- Fuji GSW690III for film
My Limitation:
- Daily job takes heavy toll and i’ve less time available for photography, Love film when i nail it. Absolutely hate it when all weekend lost and i’ve nothing.
- Due to heart condition, There is lifelong limitation on weight i can carry. (Not fittest guy).
- I tried renting, I can’t use wide angle lens. I just can’t. Anything wider than 50 mm and picture doesn’t go where i want to.
Here are options i checked.
- Multi row Pano head - Least $ to spend, i can use existing set up with 120 BR (favorite lens) but not sure how reasonable it is to
- I can get tilt Shift Lens ? more $s than option one, I’ll have to buy new lens ?
- May be Cambo Actus can help to certain extent ? (which i can use in studio and load it for Macro stuff and use it) ?
- Technial camera with Schneider & Rodenstock's lenses? - I don’t have these many $ left for this system or lenses and paired with point 3 in limitation, i’ll have to spend serious $ for those lenses?
- Any article that can compare these 4 and how to rule them out for my need ?
- I’d appreciate if you can help me select system that will enable me get the line item of my bucket list.
