The new 400mm & 600mm are very very tempting (I temporarily didn't have any GAS).

Mostly just a mental thing. When I have a ILC it’s easy to wish for a different focal length. The fixed length just means there’s no thoughts of bringing extra kit.

Regardless of the price there's nothing quite like a fixed lens camera. Got a 2 day work trip coming up and there's no question which camera will be thrown in the bag (and nothing I'd rather have).

It’s well worth the £1200 I paid (new).

What does he use it for? If it's just standard browsing and uni work I would grab a MacBook Neo. Nothing at that price range will be as well built and last as long.

I grabbed a Viltox 50mm f2 although not for such a good price. Impressed by the IQ and build so far.

Just had a look back through some receipts. Paid £180 for a 4tb external ssd 3 years ago….

How do you like MacOS? And what do you need the upgrade for? The M2 is still pretty powerful.

Agree to try one out if you can https://testdrive.trythekit.com/products/HAC00-08894-canon-rf-200-800mm-f63-9-is-usm/

No aperture ring but the Sigma 10-18 and 18-50 meet the rest of your criteria nicely.

I would go this route. The Z50ii is very capable and you can keep your lenses.

All great photos but love this one. Lots of time spent on the river there in my fitter days! "Find relief from stress" could be the wine shop's sales pitch.

Do they have access to an infrared camera, often used to pull out faded detail.

Honestly this is one of those things that AI is particularly useful at solving. Installed Mint on my previous computer (replacing Windows 10) and everything worked great other than an old Canon Selphy printer. Tried for hours researching online and nothing. 10 minutes with Gemini and it was...

Ironically wildlife and landscapes are my preferred genres, particularly in the U.K. but I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder
