Equipment required for cultural relics photography

For reference only:

I have never photographed cultural relics. As far as I know, to put it simply: the shooting of cultural relics is still life, so it is best to focus with a large aperture, fully restore the original appearance of cultural relics, and have good sharpness-fine imaging. Based on these two points, I think two kinds of digital SLR without low-pass filter are the most suitable at present. That's Nikon D7 100 and Pentax K-5ii.

The prices of these two cameras are similar, and the advantage of D7 100 is the high number of pixels. K-5IIs has a strong function of timing continuous shooting. Pentax's fixed-focus lens is better than other cameras in Japan, even better than Zeiss in the United States and Germany.

Personally, I think taking portraits is Canon's strong point, but taking cultural relics is not Canon's strong point. Even if you use a Canon machine, you'd better use a fixed focus head.
