It’s cool, but not a necessity. I have the Fuji xe3 with 27mm when I want a small 40 pancake. Also have the 50 1.8s. Adding another 40 f2 to the z system for me just probably isn’t needed at the ...

I was waiting for this... but with a ~2000-2500 budget to blow... I got the base macbook air m1 for 829. I'll use the other 1000-1500 dollars to build a PC... I think best of both worlds.

I...

Thanks guys for all the feedback. After careful consideration, I instead picked up the base model Macbook Air M1 for $829. It's 929 at Amazon + $100 off for signing up for Amazon Prime card.

Since there are no ip ratings you kind of have to look at the build quality, extra gaskets etc. I guess the x100v seems more like older Sony claims of wr. But something like my z6 or an xt4 or xh1 ...

My other thought is to get the cheapest model macbook air for on the go, then use the extra 1100 dollars I would have used towards a 14" macbook pro to build a Photo/Video Editing Desktop. I do...

Djehuty, no, my Z6 does not take SD Cards at all. It's XQD or CF Express.

Working on my computer and monitoring sound levels for video editing, and work conference calls, is probably the only time I use my nice Sennheiser headphones... leave the headphone jack alone.

Do you guys think the 14" base model is priced comparatively vs. other brands. My current 2015 MacBook Pro really needs upgrading as the screen no longer functions and both speakers are blown...

I wouldn’t… it’s just preference all the major brands are good systems with some variances. But I’ll bite, Nikon does tend to do really well traditionally with ultra wides. 14-24 2.8 and 20 1.8z ...

I think most people go through this, but the camera could totally be limiting your experience. But have something you want to shoot before getting the new gear. I mean if you are into wildlife, ...

Changing to Z I started fresh and rethought my lens choices based on only what I need, and also more price constrained with less lenses, as it's more expensive than APS-C glass for the most part, ...

I didn't see it mentioned, and it might seem counterintuitive as there isn't that much light in the scene, but using an ND filter, probably a 3 or 6 stop, to do a 2-3 minute exposure would really ...

Seth is good, he had a cool portrait shoot using an office colored wall showing off the 105 macro recently that looked nice...this was on his youtube channel. edit: not his youtube channel, on ...

I'd add that it provides better compression plus a more natural look to a human face at certain distances. The background elements being bigger often means they are less distracting and better ...

This isn't the best scene to do this with as you mentioned, I'd pick the 105mm though, b/c of compression that's able to isolate the subject better, if you have the room. The bokeh quality on the ...

The Ricoh, easily for compact, but the Fuji is the sexy king in that fixed lens price point segment. I use X-E3 with 27, even lighter than the fuji x100v. The Fuji's are really only coat...

There's nothing wrong with buying stuff for emotional reasons, the only justification you need is that it brings you some joy and spending that money isn't hurting your finances in the process.

I agree with most stuff but not this … “just make sure that you're making your choice for photographic reasons, not because dials remind you of your childhood.” To me, if the experience makes you ...

For what you say, I might go 40. I picked 50mm 1.8 s for its WR, high IQ, and longer focal length for portraits...If they made a 50mm 1.4 for like 899-999... might have gone with that. The 50mm 1.2 ...

I dunno about that, see Fuji. They are doing pretty well. The toughest part about going back to Nikon was losing the full manual dials of X-T* series and aperture ring on all the lenses. I can ...
