Gear and Technological Updates 2025

Huawei Mate X7, the last technological update in my setup for this year.

For those who know me personally would probably know I go through camera gears pretty frequently in search of the system that works for me and also fulfill the egoistic inner self. After a complete system change 2 years ago and a hop into the Fujifilm GFX medium format system last year. I went through this year further fine-tuning my equipments rather than performing a major upgrade. I have also acquired a few camera, lenses and other specialised tools and accessories to fulfill current job requirements. I am also predicting a slow down in equipment changes going foward as I am quite near to where I hope to be at and can produce anything that I wish to—no equipment limitations. If anything there is only creative limitation. Also if you ask me, there is always endless wants and wish list but if there are limited resources, this is as good as it is given the fact that I have already fully own these gears.

Therefore, in the interest of saving time in answering individuals on this question, I have compiled a list of the latest gears and technological updates which I am currently using and possibly a short narrative on why.
