Travel Photography Cameras and Lenses Setup feat. Micro Four Thirds

Today I am sharing my latest travel photography cameras and lenses setup featuring my Micro Four Thirds gear that I will bring on an upcoming trip. These cameras and lenses will hopefully cover all sorts of travel photography needs such as portrait and landscape photography. The main camera for this setup will be the Panasonic Lumix GX850 or GF9, which is going to be my main photography camera. The lenses featured in this video are the Panasonic Lumix 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6, Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7, Laowa 7.5mm f2.0, and the 7Artisans 35mm f/2.0 for my Leica camera.
I will also share other non Micro Four Thirds camera gear such as my Leica M8.2 camera, my DJI Osmo Pocket 3 video camera, and some other related gear. Hopefully by watching this video you can learn my reasoning of why I brought each individual piece of gear, and be able to apply what you learn on this video for your travel photography setup for your next trip.

Just did a long asia tour with nearly the same combo of gear! Totally agree with the lens choices, especially carrying a fast semi normal prime for low light. Those situations pop up a lot during the day for visiting shrines, temples, caves, historic buildings etc. so it’s great to keep one in the bag always. The 14-140 is a champ, even for some wildlife photography. And the Laowa 7.5mm, excellent for giving context to narrow streets and walkways, even very close to”macro” for camera-tolerant subjects.
Thanks for helping me settle on this combo with all your travel videos, Gary!

[@Gary_W]

Great to hear! And thanks for sharing 😁

[@igushitza]

Would you make a video about taking photos at concerts with the gx80? (low light, in the club or other inside venue)

[@eprohoda]

Hiya!, amazing ~

[@ExerciseDocSuz]

Hi Gary! I have watched several of your reviews and am seeking advice. My goal is to have 2 lenses that will be suited for family gatherings and traveling with a goal of shooting landscapes, flowers, animals, northern lights/night sky, and distance things (we are going on an Alaskan cruise and I would like to have the ability to shoot land from the boat as well as things in the water). I am also hoping to film exercise videos for my youtube channel (camera on tripod and me in a chair) and would love it one of the two lenses I purchase work for that as well. I could also see myself printing a few shots, no larger than like 14x20. From my research, the G95 fits all my needs. I am leaning toward the 14-140 and 75-300. Would I ever miss the 12-60 for my purposes?

[@YannickKhong]

Have you ever reviewed the Lumix 25mm 1.7?

[@prizepictures1]

Nice video. Appreciate the share. Do you ever use flash? What programs do you use to edit? My entire collection is Em1 mkii with 17mm F1.8 and 45mm F1.8.

[@Gary_W]

Thank you for the kind words 😁 I did use off-camera flash in the past for travel photography, but nowadays I no longer do that unless necessary. I use Adobe Lightroom in my PC for editing. Cheers!

How would you think, about G100 without ibis VS GX85 with ibis?
I will be overseas, travelling light, doing my workplace's handheld video documentary next month. GX85 is perfect for me if it wasn't the lack of microphone hole. G100 is perfect if it wasn't for lack for IBIS... The only perfect MFT for my dilemma is G95. But the size made me consider, if the size as big as G95, why not bringing A7III.

[@cristinasd8051]

The G90 is a nice, lightweight camera, even if it is a bit "big" in MFT standards. The upside you will get is that MFT lenses are small and light vs FF lenses.

I had the same problem when I went for a trip a week ago. Had my Sony A7C with Tamron 28-200, Zeiss 16-35/4 and Zeiss 55/1.7 as a back-up plan, but ditched them. I went with a Pana GX880 (same as GX850), Oly E-M1, Laowa 7,5/2 Olympus 9-18, Olympus 20/1,7 and a Olympus 14-150/slow.
In the end the sun was almost always too harsh so I had to use the viewfinder on the E-M1. Didn't use the small GX880 that much. For 90% I used the Olympus E M1 and the slow but very sharp 14-150. 6% usage of the 9-18 and 2% each of the 7,5mm and the 20mm. The Olympus OM-D E-M1 was lighter than the Sony 7C by some grams, but the lenses were so much lighter. I had four batteries for the EM-1 with me but used only two.
So one camera an two lenses would have been good enough. Oly E-M1, 9-18, 14-150. In weight: 490g + 155g + 270g = 930g. Not bad. This will make it easier next time.

[@Gary_W]

It really depends on your needs. If you record a lot of dialogue videos, then G100 might makes more sense. However, if you record B rolls that don't require sophisticated audio capture, then the GX85 is the better choice. I have the G85 which has both IBIS and audio jack, but I don't really travel with it unless I have to. Hope this helps! 😁
