  "account": "Adventure photographer Chris Burkard is never without his Sony zoom lens, but it's not even his favorite. In a quirky video series for Sony Alpha's YouTube Channel, Burkard shows how to build a streamlined photography kit and highlights his favorite lenses. The lens he always carries is the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II, while his favorite lens is the even wider Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II. He completes his optimized kit with the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II and the Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM prime lens, which he uses for night photography and shallow depth of field. Burkard opts for the Sony A7R V camera body, calling it his \"high-resolution workhorse for shooting landscapes in the field.\"",
