Thank you Jeah its somehow an addiction. But in my agency we do some different kind of work so somehow this collection turns out to be the best combination.You have a lot great gears bro. I would love to see your lens collection
5D IV and 5D III was my bread and butter for everyday shooting, productshots, business-photos, Events and weddings. One day I got a 1DX II used because video became more and more important for my work - some nice event documentations and some imagefilms where shot on the 1DX II. Its also great for event and replaced the 5D III which I sold.
For some studio video work I grabed some Gh4 and gh5, which are very afordable used (400€ and 900€) but where great for studio work where we shoot all day long. Before that we used the 5D and 1D - but the FHD image is aweful and the 4k data rate was too much. So the GH4 and GH5 was a handy, cheap and very usefull adition for studio work with bright light and not moving subjects (so no AF needed and the bad ISO performance doesnt matter)
The 1D was replaced by the S1H which is INCREDIBLE good when it comes to image quality, codecs, ports, IBIS (!) and so on. Lowlight quality is truely remarkable. Though it was a bargain and I guess I will sell it in some time. The lack of usable AF is for me personaly quite annoying. Also I dont like the photos - so I expect it got no value over the R5. Same for the 1D - its a nice camera, but with the R5 I dont see any place for the 1D in my kit.
The A7R IV was bought out of curiosity - I used it a lot on travel where it certainly shines because of the size. Also for some productshots where the resolution comes in handy. But the colors are realy not that great, the menus, ergonomics, dust on sensor, small viewfinder and low resolution display, laggy interface... With the R5 on the horizon I think I can easily sell the A7R IV and get a camera that is equaly small for travel and offers as well a lot of resolution for productshots.
All in all I have close to zero doubts that I can replace ALL these cameras (1DX II, 5D IV, S1H, GH5, GH4, A7R IV) with just 2 (maybe one more as backup) Canon R5. This will be a great time, without adapting lenses, different batteries or accessories etc...
The most important lense in my collection is the 24-70 f2,8 L II. I do 80% of my work with this lense. Second most important lense is the 15-30 Tamron VC 2,8 - great for architecture, business photos, etc. My favorite lense is the 50mm Sigma Art 1,4 - best colors, sharpness, bokeh, build quality - truely a beautiful lense. One other important lense is the 70-200 2,8L - great for a lot of thinks, including portraits, productshots or event documentation
