Or &#8216;What is the seat of your passion for photography?&#8217;. Except it&#8217;s neither, the most asked question is&nbsp;&#8216;What gear do you use?&#8217;. So to answer that question, I&#8217;ve made this page. Gear comes and goes, but this is what I&#8217;m using at the moment. And seeing as I&#8217;m giving out this information, I may as well give affiliate links to it.. You don&#8217;t need to buy through them. In fact if you have a local camera shop, go buy through them instead. Support&nbsp;your local economy where you can. If you&#8217;ve any questions on the gear, please feel free to ask via the contact page.<\/p>\n<h4>YouTube Setup<\/h4>\n<p>My YouTube Setup is detailed here:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seanmccormack.com\/equipment\/youtube-setup-2018\/\">http:\/\/www.seanmccormack.com\/equipment\/youtube-setup-2018\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Cameras<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;m not gonna lie, I&#8217;ve had a lot of cameras. I only occasionally get to the point where I can sell them on, so I&#8217;ve loads still hanging around my house and studio. Right now,&nbsp;I&#8217;m using only Fuji and have sold loads of my Canon gear and the rest is for sale. I&#8217;m an Irish Fuji X-Photographer and am absolutely proud of that. &nbsp;On that note, I have to say that I don&#8217;t get given free gear from Fuji. I&#8217;ve bought everything out of my own money, because I like the gear that much. Occasionally I can borrow gear to review it, but it always has to be returned (like the <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/fuji-xf-18-135mm-versatile-travel-lens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">18-135mm that I wrote about on Digital Photography School<\/a>).
