It's so true though. Without having a lot at your disposal, you never fully understand any of it. But then once you've had all the things, you start to really see what works best for you and what actually brings you joy.

About 10 years ago I cleaned up my photography gear in a big way, and it was the best way to boost my creativity and fun in the creative process. I’d amassed a decent collection of glass (28/2.8, 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.4, 24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8) and got tired of lugging it around. Sold all of it, incl the camera, and bought a single Leica rangefinder and 50/1.4. Never looked back, and only now am I at the point where I feel like adding a second lens. Leica’s price tags are good way to cure gear lust of course, especially for a hobbyist, but I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for minimalism in their photography kit (provided it matches the type of applications you need it for of course). Great video as always Peter!!
Funny enough, I was trying to figure out which Seamaster it was and it was distracting me from the message of the video! Oh, pity us poor watch whores... :-0
I have hardly any equipment currently, my budget and needing to save to move to a better family home has put all my camera purchases on hold right now. Really need to upgrade in the not so distant future. Seeing you drink tea almost felt like a parallel universe Peter.
LOL, I only drink tea. I can not smell and let me tell you coffee is 90% smell. It is bitter and tastes like dirt. :( So I drink tea. I wish coffee tasted better.
@@snapninja3454 To be fair, MOST tastes are 90% smell... ok, not that much (and even not with coffee), but it's a big part of it. But I do get what you mean, tea in itself doesn't have a strong scent. Different thing with flavored teas though.
I don't think any other youtuber has educated me as much as they've made me laugh. Calculated videos are hard for me to enjoy but you manage to make me look past it, somehow. You expose us as you unravel yourself. It's RAW. Inspired by your determination
The is a photographer in Ghana who passed away a week ago. His name is Bob Pixel. He could tell amaaaaaazing stories with his 5D Mark III...... MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
Man, what I would give to do like a 3-month summer internship with Peter and the team....so much great stuff to learn from you guys, and it'd be crazy fun too!
This is even more interesting than watching what you actually use. More of these „i don‘t use xyz because“ or „instead of using this gear, i do it almost as good... like this“ Appreciate it!
I know this is a year old…but let’s take a minute to realize that even when Peter makes tea it’s a bit more extra than the average person. Well done! Coffee is still better. Also I’d keep the 1DXii and an R5.
I didn't even realize Pete was making tea until he said it, even though he had showed the tea bags. Its just that I have seen only his ritual of making coffee in this channel, so mind just stuck to it😂.
Your simply a pure creative. That’s why your content will always improve. Your in tune with your desire for challenge and embrace it to help you prosper along your journey. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.
Oh no Pete! Minute 10:05 is a shot on your foot! No more gear sponsorship from now on 🥲 I really admire your honesty! Keep it up bud!! Greetings from a brazilian in Spain!
Initial thoughts: - Peter selling all his cameras... okay, downsizing probably. - Peter makes tea? And drinks it?! - What's next? Closing the channel?! End of the world in other ways?!
So, Peter you are telling us to get out there and create with what you have! Finally, the number one rule for creative people has changed: “Less is more to tell, visually, a story!”. You have set the bar very high man. All the best!
So all what you need to become PM2.0 is to travel the world? Kinda difficult right now considering global pandemic, no matter how many RED's you're able to sell.
Hey Peter, that book - 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' is amazing and completely hear you. It's helped me so much on so many levels both in dealing with my disability and as a filmmaker. Really refreshing!
Peter: I used the Eos R for a long time... probably a year and a half Me : I used 2 cameras in my life 😂 (and I waited until the first one died to buy another one)
i cried. im too poor to have something better than a SL1 and i am happy to see artists who create mind-blowing art have so many tools that i could never afford.
Yes. Getting of rid of stuff is good, however, I got rid of stuff last year & really missed it. Stuff I couldn't replace! So, there is a difference. Be careful of sudden mood changes just because the 🌍🌎🌏is SO different now. Thank you for the cameo of your father! Was wondering about him & his loss of guitar playing! Thanks Peter! 💙💚
I'd certainly go the R6 and the 1D 😬 absolute dream cameras! Literally just upgraded from the 700D to the 6dmkii and the difference, makes me question if I seriously got lucky or I actually know what I'm doing 🤣🤣
I like these videos. I like hearing people's thought process and this covers not only why you're keeping things by why you're not. And the not is probably less talked about and therefore more interesting.
I doubt it. In a previous video he dumped most, but not all, of his Canon glass. I see nothing to suggest he's doing anything but cutting down on gear that he doesn't use it or need.

Peter is a closet minimalist.
If this means you like your place to look minimalist by shoving everything that you rarely use into the closet and forgetting about it, I’m also that.
Yh
Master approved if you say it😂
Watch his last video... He is embracing the movement.
Normalize this term
Is Peter McKinnon having a midlife crisis but instead of buying everything he's selling everything

Great synopsis of the content
Peter saying, “I’ll only keep 2”
Me: I barely can afford a cheap one
It depends on time :)
This is like the Corridor Crews “perfect camera” gig
I think everyone here agrees with me when I say, "This channel needs more Pete's Pops cameos."
I know this is a year old…but let’s take a minute to realize that even when Peter makes tea it’s a bit more extra than the average person. Well done! Coffee is still better.
Also I’d keep the 1DXii and an R5.
Removing the shelves “cinematically” really made me want to do more videography work. Just looks like a ton of fun haha
I didn't even realize Pete was making tea until he said it, even though he had showed the tea bags. Its just that I have seen only his ritual of making coffee in this channel, so mind just stuck to it😂.
I was thinking he was going to show us a unique new coffee brew method - but I was wondering why it looked so much like tea 🤷
Tea and selling cameras???? who are you and what did you do with Peter McKinnon!!!!!! haha love the vid, keep on the good work Pete, Cheeeeeers!! :D
Peter holding the stack of cameras gave me a level of anxiety I didn’t know i had 😂
Of course the video starts out with a coffee sequence... oh wait, something is wrong, Peter is drinking tea
Peter: You don't need multiples of anything.
Me: Coffee?
In 2021 everything is gonna go back to normal
also 2021: Peter drinking tea. OMG
Your simply a pure creative. That’s why your content will always improve. Your in tune with your desire for challenge and embrace it to help you prosper along your journey. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.
the amount of anxiety I felt when you were carrying those cameras was uncalled for.
I honestly thought you just put coffee grounds in a tea bag and was showing off a new way to make coffee.
So here's an idea: Pete cleaning out the gear cage (actioncams and so on) while filming the whole thing from above. Just that. ASMR.
Oh no Pete! Minute 10:05 is a shot on your foot! No more gear sponsorship from now on 🥲 I really admire your honesty! Keep it up bud!! Greetings from a brazilian in Spain!
You should do an “accessory” purge. We all have tons of things we thought we’d use but never did.
Initial thoughts:
- Peter selling all his cameras... okay, downsizing probably.
- Peter makes tea? And drinks it?!
- What's next? Closing the channel?! End of the world in other ways?!
I didn’t realize it was tea till you said “im drinking tea” for a moment I thought you were brewing coffee in an a new way 😂
Lmao same
Same here. I thought he was brewing coffee.
So, Peter you are telling us to get out there and create with what you have! Finally, the number one rule for creative people has changed:
“Less is more to tell, visually, a story!”.
You have set the bar very high man. All the best!
I would sell the RED, take the money to travel the world, make an epic video to blow up on UA-cam and become PM2.0 💪
i was thinking the same thing, take the red and sell then take a camera i wanted. Instead of traveling though id probably buy lenses
I mean your viewer count is nothing to scoff at as it is...
So all what you need to become PM2.0 is to travel the world? Kinda difficult right now considering global pandemic, no matter how many RED's you're able to sell.
PM2.0 is already born called Sam Newton :)
News flash. Travel vids are so 2019. And goodluck with beating sam kolder.
The tea weird me out, but OK we can all enjoy different things, but Peter holding the camera bodies like that got me legit nervous 😬😬
Man being able to afford anyone of these bodies is actually pretty impossible for me. Would definitely go for R5
Hey Peter, that book - 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck' is amazing and completely hear you. It's helped me so much on so many levels both in dealing with my disability and as a filmmaker. Really refreshing!
I was exactly today years old when I learned Canadians call colored pencils pencil crayons. Learning new things everyday!
hahahaa!
I'd go C70 and R5. That Monstro is lovely, but it's "monstrous".
Yeah that’s a great choice
I love that “coffee drinker” was a lighthearted insult 😂
Yes going back to good old PM one cam to do it all! Like most people out in the world. Love it!
If Pete uses a tea bag, we see it as though a new type of coffee bag is invented. For few seconds, I thought he was making coffee, until the tea bag.😀
Peter: I used the Eos R for a long time... probably a year and a half
Me : I used 2 cameras in my life 😂 (and I waited until the first one died to buy another one)
After four years still using my first one 😂
@@chad_bobrowski that's great!
*We all love Tea! Don't we?*
No we don’t 😂
Yes! :D
Yess
Yes sir ;)
Absolutely 👍🏻
Part 3 should probably be about the lenses and accessories you actually don't really need
Most people don't know you can also rent a camera and lenses if needed for a specific job, and bill that cost back to the client.
Wisdom right here!
Try combining tea and coffee in a French press. **chefs kiss**

Making sure not to drop the teabag on your camera was my favorite part.
Like Casey said once, cameras are just the tools to help you tell the story but it's on you to tell a good story
tea is a gentleman's drink yuno. ill buy all those cameras off ya mate lol

What wobble
Let's all be honest and say that our anxiety was going through the roof when Peter had all those cameras in his hands waiting to fall 😭😅
Paused in the middle of the video to write comment: Look’s like Peter is making space for Sony? 😂
That's what I was wondering! Maybe he is purging because he may switch teams now that Sony is blowing everything out of the water...

Pete selling his gear, changing the studio again and drinking tea instead of coffee...?! What is going on? 😂😂
I’d go with an R5 and C70 for the size and uniform lens mount. I love my EOS R.
Let me know if you need my address for the "gone" pile, Peter.
Of course you should do more of these. Tea time with Peter and Matti sounds nice
C70 without blinking :D
what's wrong with the C70?
The price and the c70 huge camera
You should buy small camera for vlogging and if you need camera for making films the c70 is perfect option.
As a coffee drinker, I feel deeply offended. Tea?
I need a camera badly.
