Just placed the order for the 100mm macro, should have it Wednesday

I was surprised that I missed my A7CR (sold it last May) as much as I did after acquiring my A1II....

So, I bought a new one. What a fun little camera! Should pair well with the Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 that is also on the way.


Gotta love 'Black Friday'!

Just bought a Tactix tough case XL to hold my star tracker, panorama/leveling head and mefoto tripod. It's a cheaper version of a pelican padded case that was available at my local hardware store. Until recently I've used a largish 2 wheeled rolling tool box to carry all of my extra camera gear. Unfortunately the wheels have started to crumble, so it's been replaced with a small garden cart with pneumatic tyres. The new case is well padded and water/dust proof.

I added the 'NIK Collection' to my DxO Photolab.

Have used the good old free version of Nik for a long time within Photoshop. So I tried the newest paid version a couple of weeks ago, couldn't get used to it... Just reinstalled trhe old version...

This weekend I ordered the Sony 28mm f2 with wide angle converter. This is added to my lightweight bag for my A7iv and the Sony 50mm f1.8 for when I don’t want to carry heavier zoom lenses. Just need to pickup something around the 90-100mm mark that’s small and light and my prime kit will be complete.

Just for your info, Dave Kelly is doing a video most weeks on different filters in Nik Color Efex which is worth taking a look at.

The latest version of Nik Collection is a great update I reckon. Silver Efex is much easier to use with the new layout and being able to use Photoshop Masks is a game changer. I like to support DxO for having the balls to acquire this software from "Doogle" rather than just letting it languish in a dark corner of the internet until it didn't work anymore.

Thank you! I'll check it out!

I just bought a "slightly used" 90mm F2.8 Macro on eBay for A$700. I have been looking at these on eBay for a while and this is the best condition and cheapest one I have seen.

Bargain, enjoy.

Thanks. I have a couple of things planned to test it out. It should arrive by the end of next week but the post is already starting to go a bit mental.

I forget if I mentioned this already somewhere in the forums, but I recently got a Mr. Jan Gear lens carrier and I love it. I use my binos a lot while carrying a camera. This makes that so much easier and more secure than a should strap. Distributes the weight very well. Highly recommend, but if you order directly to the US prepare for a tariff charge via the shipper

Also, I just sold a 12-24 f4 G. I just never use it. A nice lens though. If anyone reading this has one, and is interested in the special Haida filters for it, please DM me. I'll send it to you for shipping cost
