The Backcountry Kit

Travel and landscape photographer Naomi Atherton (@naomijaneatherton) is based in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. She’s often hiking in the backcountry, and so a lightweight and efficient system is important to her. She typically packs the Sony Alpha 7 IV as her primary camera body and the Sony Alpha 7R III as her high-res backup. She packs three super-sharp f/1.4 primes – the Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master, Sony 35mm f/1.4 G Master and Sony 85mm f/1.4 G Master. Then for the extra reach to capture the true magnitude of the Rockies, she packs her Sony 24-105mm f/4 G and Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master.
