Do I need face masks in Vietnam?I am going to Korea and Japan next month. Happy to meet up there!
Bring face masks.
I read that already, but it is still better than zero.
I thought about getting a proper bio chemical grade facemask but i think that would be a tad OTT.

I bought an A9 and not long after got an additional A9II, I then needed to purchase another one and ended up going with another A9, there wasn't enough difference for me between the two to justify the extra cost.
A9II would maybe be an advantage for a sports photographer but not for me.
Forgot to mention @Gadget-Guy there is only a £1050 difference between the two if you buy grey import.
A9II grey import is not much more expensive than an U.K A9. The grey import price on an A9 is very good as well.

Never understood the idea behind face masks unless there is like a real epidemic.
That's the mindset of the west. In the east, facemasks as used for
1 - Spread your own germs to others when you are sick. Like how you hate someone coughing without covering their mouths.
2 - Try not to catch it when it is cold and flu season.
3 - Allergies like pollen season
4 - Got a massive spot on the face or haven't done makeup that day.
Honestly, I think it is a great idea for all the above reasons.
1 - sure but I am generally not sick and when I am contagious I stay at home.
2 - useful especially so when traveling getting sick is the last thing you want to do. But I use the London underground everyday and I am sure I have fallen sick a few times in last 10 year from it but not enough to warrant using it everyday.
3 - I'd have to wear glasses also but these days I don't have issue with pollens tbh.
4 - not something that bothers me but of course could spare someone else the sight but there are more uglier things to look at than the spot on my face lol.
I am not against the idea, I am more for it than not but don't see it as necessity as some people do
got my sayang 18mm today.
not sure about it though.. will do some more testing before I decide if I will keep it or return it.
seems nice and sharp in the centre even at 2.8. edges are pretty bad though.
its a noisy little bugger.. af is noisy and so is changing aperture
Your joining a big line of photographers who have moved over to Sony, very few have complained and gone back the other way.So - one more photographer here who is getting to grips with the Sony a9 ii.
Swapped part of my Canon gear for Sony A9 and Sony A9 ii .. plus couple of lenses.
Until I am all comfortable and stuff with them, I do have my two Canon 1DX mkII bodies and lenses for certain bits of work.
And once I am sure... it will be a full switch to Sony.
Too many photoshoots in the comings weeks to make a full switch now...
I'll be needing one of these when I move over to the darkside!Meh, all you need...
I'll be needing once of these when I move over to the darkside!
your needing to look for at least n95/ffp2 level masks to have any affect. but due whats going on good luck finding them at a reasonable cost. we ordered so the first day it became news and they were up in price to £25 for 20 disposable ones. now your looking at £25 for 5 if they have stock
lol ermmmmNo, you'll be needing a kick up your ass.
Reading about this the other day, it was said that the 'holes' in the masks are two big & won't stop virus getting through, but it will help, however they said that is not a lot of help if the eyes are not protected, so you need goggles or similar as well. I imagine glasses at the very least.
Most people don't have the luxuary to stay at home when they just got a cold or a cough. The practice is good, only the west sees it at some kind of epidemic and end of the world stuff. The east sees it as simple as putting on a hairband in keeping your hair up.
The issue here isn't the facemask, it is the perception of the west who are not used to it.
lol ermmmm
Ordered some Canon Selphy Ink & Paper and a Photo Album, going to start printing more photos out and build up a family album.
Still eager to see what Fuji do with the new Fuji X100V and XT-4 though..... lol
That is true but sometimes the stares could be towards beauty?We are certainly not used to it here.
They also get weird stares sometimes when seen on the underground
Aye, I got a fair few printed already but not really got around to building a album properly in order / story etc.Good idea
What will you be selling?Aye, I got a fair few printed already but not really got around to building a album properly in order / story etc.
Doing this probably won't save me from selling the Sony gear though! lol
Going to print off some iPhone snaps too.... I am sure the differences between sensor sizes is reduced vastly when viewing on a 6x4 print!
Everything I have left invested in Sony gear So about £3-4k's worth approx.What will you be selling?

Hopefully within the next 2-5 weeks, it's a difficult choice so trying not to rush into it.any ideas when you'd be listing them?
Thanks but will be away most of Feb. I'll keep an eye on here.Hopefully within the next 2-5 weeks, it's a difficult choice so trying not to rush into it.
I will give you a shout.
f***sakes. So I need to wear it almost all the time while out in the public?I would just use it, precaution is better than cure.
No you don'tf***sakes. So I need to wear it almost all the time while out in the public?
