You can pick up the Samyang 35mm 2.8 pancake for $209 from Adorama (Demo condition).  Phenomenal lens that makes this full-frame camera feel crop-sized, and the image quality is excellent!

I've always been incredibly impressed.  Admittedly, most of my "work" is taking snapshots of my daughters, but yeah, excellent, tiny and light 35mm lens.

The A7iii produces excellent SOOC JPEGs, significantly improved over the A7i I had previously.  I only shoot it in RAW in very low-light/night photography or for landscapes, something where I ...

Also thrilled with the F, the Acros mode is especially great.

Cubans are very warm, outgoing people. If it were me I’d take my X100F and an Instax camera... that’ll be more than enough. Cubans don’t always have access to a computer or the web, emailing a JPEG ...

Bought my X100F used with a few cosmetic scratches  and 3500 clicks for $900 on FredMiranda. You can get a pretty good deal on a T easier, but I like the improvements on the F myself.

Ah, here in the US, a stock of cars is frequently kept on hand with common colors/options - for anything special it needs to be ordered, but most dealers will actively avoid this complexity if ...

The car world isn't a good place to find clean business practices.  The more-sharky sales guys will take a custom-ordered vehicle fresh from the delivery truck and let a walk-in prospect try it ...

Some of these folks brush the finest line between difficult customer and mental illness .

Around here I took a car for a test drive, alone... it had 3 miles on the odometer, I treated it fine but it’s going to be sold as brand new- not all dealerships keep demo inventory around, this ...

I worked at an Apple Store for 7 years, you’d be surprised what’s “new on the shelf” that has been returned and resealed by the Back of House staff to Apple specifications. Most retail stores ...

Just the X100F.  I play the lens game on the Sony side of the house, but I tend to shoot the X100F a lot more since it's always in my work backpack and doesn't require a dedicated camera bag.  My ...

Honestly you'd want to try a Sony A7 with a ultra-wide Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 for good astro shots :) Similar price to an RX100 VI if you buy used.

You can find an original A7 in great condition for $500 used, that's insane right there... tiny little full-frame setup.  IBIS is great, but on lenses shorter than 100mm, it's not essential if ...

Waiting for used Sony RX10 Mark 4s to drop under $1000, that will replace any lens over 100mm easily, for my needs.

Can drive right alongside rhinos at Lion Country Safari in Palm Beach, Florida.

Not had any issues and saved a fortune. I also like Bh and Adorama used as well as Keh, because they allow returns.

Actually for what you get I think Fuji X mount is some of the most costly glass out there. Not including luxury brands like Leica and Hassel.

The 24-105 is pretty darn thick and heavy. The 28-75 is properly balanced, not too heavy, has great optical performance, and the extra stop is valuable. Then again, I have the 70-200/4 so the ...

My memory was a little off. Ordered on 4/30 and I received it on 6/13.
