How does the GearFrame Gear Builder work?

Pick your camera body, and optionally a shooting style and a budget for lenses and accessories. The Gear Builder scores every compatible lens for that style on your sensor size, picks the best one within budget, adds the accessories that style needs and that fit your camera, and shows the total cost.

Can I build a complete camera kit on a budget?

Yes. Set a budget for lenses and accessories (under £500, £1,000 or £2,000) and the Gear Builder picks the best-scoring lens that suits your style within it, then fits the essential accessories into what is left. If nothing in the catalogue fits the budget, it says so and shows the most affordable option.

Which camera mount system should I choose?

The Gear Builder filters compatible lenses by mount, so you only see lenses that fit your chosen body. If you already own lenses, select your current mount to stay compatible. Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Fujifilm X and others are all supported.

Are the prices shown in the Gear Builder accurate?

Prices shown reflect the lowest tracked UK retail price across retailers including Amazon, Wex Photo Video and Jessops. Prices are updated regularly and clicking through takes you directly to the retailer.

How this kit is built: lenses are matched to your camera's mount and sensor and scored for your genre on the focal length they give on your body; the first lens is in the total, the others are alternatives. Accessories pass compatibility rules: the right card class for your slot, a battery and grip that fit, filters in your lens's thread, a tripod rated for the kit's weight.
