Airport international, mate. Looks really neat and inconspicuous. We had a mandatory check in bag order with easyjet and when I opened the bag and explained to them the cost of the gear, they let it through.
Those think tank bags feel bullet proof. Couldn't recommend them more.
I have been looking at them, they do feel good too.
Well folks I've decided to move on the A7r3 - struggling for any kind of motivation right now or indeed much time for shooting and really would rather spend some of the cash elsewhere.
Also struggling with trying to justify the cost of some of the glass I'd like (telephoto) when I know I could buy something that does 95% of the job for about 25% of the price in a Nikon mount.
I'm sure its not farewell, I do love using the Sony stuff but the wallet has to trump having an expensive bit of kit sitting unused, might even just pickup a cheap used D610/D750 and a 35mm and make do with that for a while!
Lol, you do the same thing over and over.
I've tried other things the last while but its the first time I can remember in a very long time that I just can't be bothered shooting anything.
There are many people on this and other forums who do this and while I don't tend to buy and sell too often I can see the attraction of chopping and changing and using different kit. A change is as good as a rest etc.Lol, you do the same thing over and over.

Chris, I do wonder if all this gear swapping and expense could be a bit wearing and maybe a part of the lack of motivation... along with lack of time and money sat in gear not doing anything of course.
As an antidote to expensive unused kit I'd recommend a Panny GX80 and Olympus 17mm f1.8 or a 1" thingy like the Panny TZ100/TZ200 or even just an original cheap A7 and a cheap legacy 35 or 50mm.
Hope you hang in and get some motivation to continue with photography when time and money allow.
Don't look at gear reviews and unsubscribe from all the gear channels on YouTube.
Spend your money on travels instead and take photos there.
Changing gear won't make your photo look better, however, the grass is always greener on the other fence
The rumor site reports a Sigma firmware update for an adapter and some lenses...

Does the lens updates apply to e mount ?
Obviously this is EF Mount only at the moment but it’s good to see how compact the new AF 85/1.4 is from Samyang.

Will be good to see if a future FE version is this compact (obviously with a spacer for the flange depth).
Zeiss 40mm f2 and Sony camera this summer... Sigma and Samyang lenses too...

Sony a5100/A6000 or Canon M5/M50 and why?
A6000. Because I like EVF's.Sony a5100/A6000 or Canon M5/M50 and why?
I don’t think I do ,noDo you need a evf?
If you buy a Canon we'll all point at you and laugh.
Well that's a bit childish and judgemental ...
Just seen that Sigmas other E mount glass (16mm etc) can be firmware updated via the camera. Hopefully this will be the case for the Native art lenses too
Where did you see this?
Any word on the ART 35 replacement?
I thought that was part of the T&C when you sign up to a forum online
