I love landscapes. My go to camera has been a Leica M10 for a number of years AND my go to lens is a 21 mm wide angle for landscapes. I also do a tremendous amount of still life. For that I use a Canon 5d Mk IV and lean heavily on my 100mm macro.

I have not done wildlife photography in many years. Wildlife, as others have pointed out, would be a completely different kit (lens wise).

For the past two years I have been taking advanced photo classes at my local JC, Moorpark College. I have learned a tremendous amount about all aspects of photography.

I recently upgraded to a Leica Q2, and I love that thing. It is a perfect camera for all that I do. BUT I cannot see it as a viable wildlife set up.

IMHO and from hanging with some very talented artists, I think we are seeing two major trends. One is film, especially for the younger artists, they love it! The other is the mirrorless.

Mirrorless is really gaining momentum and the gear is fantastic. Lightweight, tough, easy to use. Since you don't have any lenses you can invest in the best for the particular platform. And you have the option of using adapters to use older (but very good) gear.

I was impressed with the Canon R system. The Canon RP would be a great start based upon features and price (especially price). It would be an excellent entry level camera that is the latest proven technology. I like that thing, but am invested in a traditional Canon 5D Mk iv.
