to the motherland
can't wait to see what you snap out there

tried out the 50 1.2 GM this weekend along with a7iv; not a fan of 50mm so much these days but damn was it smooth.

I picked up the 50 1.4 on Friday but tried out the 50 1.2 on Sunday because a guy with me had it.

Not sure if there was a big enough difference for the price. I'm happy with the 1.4 and it's light as well as having the additional physical lock.

Just got back from NY/NJ for the NEAF Astronomy Space Expo and Conference, my brehs, I think I just found a new field I wanna jump in. Got a photo dump coming from the drone and ground camera soon, for now 2 shots from the conference. Gear is next level.............

I thought about getting a refractor last year, but I did the at the price for a new mount (have a SA2i), guide scope, guide camera, and refractor.

Ironically, I ended up probably spending the same money on two new Z6ii's, gimbal, drone, and a few lenses

Gonna try to get some landscape astro pics this Milky Way season

I need to replace my Z6. Been contemplating the Z9 but I really don't want to come off that kind of money. If the Z8 isn't over 4k I may buy it instead.

This was my 1st time seeing any of this equipment at an expo, friend invited me, prices had me like . Not gonna lie the images I seen had me like . That Seestar S50 unit had me as a entry level way to get into this, gonna snag that and also see what I can get with my EOS R in an open field away from the city.

Sony and these damn cfexpress type A cards

Sony and these damn cfexpress type A cards

Depending on the framerates you plan on using the most, don't even bother with getting them.



I got a small one just in case I wanted to shoot 120fps in 4K on my FX6... Guess how many times I've shot in that fps and resolution in 2 years?

0


I did spend a grip on the larger SDXC cards tho. I have 2 256GBs in my A74 and I have a 512GB in my FX6 and an 80GB CF Express.

Anything over $4500 really wouldn’t make sense cause it would be too close to Z9 territory. My z6ii been doing fine although I could use more MP for cropping purposes.

I really don’t need another camera, none of us with more modern mirrorless cameras do, but I’m sure when it releases and I watch 20 influencer videos that day, I’ll feel like my camera is a piece of shyt and buy the new one.
