i dont know but its serial number is 2.084.746Well done! How many shutter clicks did you have on the recently deceased one?......
I got the Spark this week, already have the THR. It’s like THR on steroids. Sounds good but I think the Yamaha sounds nicer. The Spark seems to have too much bottom end that I can’t dial out.Currently planning to pick up a Yamaha THR or Vox Adio for home practice now we're pretty much sorted out a room for me. It's not *exactly* GAS because it's part of a plan and useful, rather than simply lusting after 'new, shiny'.
That's exactly it, the Spark is a better practice tool, but sonically it's not the best. For me it is a better tool because my playing sucks so that works for me.I don't know anything about the Spark, though I can fix that....
At the moment the Vox Adio seems like the obvious choice: better tones than the original THR & a semi-semsible price (the new THR is quite a lot for a home-only practice amp, and it doesn't strike me as *that* much of an update to justify. The original THR was amazing at the time, but was starting to look realy wrinkly.
OK, 50min on t'internet, general conclusion seems to be the Spark has amazing software but boxy, over-bassy digital modelling amp-type tones, while the Yamaha actually sounds like a real amp. I tend to be a 'feel' player, and suspect I'll play much more & better if I enjoy the sounds, rather than being wow'd by the software.

Looks like a trade in for the R5 is on the cards very soon!
It will be interesting to hear what happens next...5DM4 for sure and possibly GFX50R undecided on that right now.
The 5DM4 has been great, looking for the better AF, frame rate and video of the R5.
The GFX is also awesome just under used at the moment.
Nice one. They’re still very capable. I’ve been considering the V. But my old, slow original produces lovely pictures. I just don’t shoot anything moving.After my recent purchase of an old D90 a month or so ago, to bring all my old lenses back to life. I said I would not be making any more purchases. I found myself looking at an old Fuji X100, to take out with me on my long walks. I just thought the X100 may give a more enjoyable user experience.
I was on MPB last night, and I stuck my 35mm 1.8G and the 50mm 1.8D in the trade in section, against an X100. Even with both lenses as part exchange, I still needed a fair old whack of cash. Besides, what I would gain in portability with the X100, I would loose what I get with the 35mm 1.8G on my D3300, and the 50mm 1.8D that fits nicely on my D90.Nice one. They’re still very capable. I’ve been considering the V. But my old, slow original produces lovely pictures. I just don’t shoot anything moving.
I would love the V model, but just a little out of my price range.Nice one. They’re still very capable. I’ve been considering the V. But my old, slow original produces lovely pictures. I just don’t shoot anything moving.
On release day, too! I have had this in my hand in the store and couldn't bring myself to do it with the price BUT, I really want it. Have you built it yet? How is it? So many questions but I share your excitement.I got serious GAS for this so I bought it.

No not yet, I am saving for when I get into a new place first, which could be like 2 years away. I just couldn't wait for want to miss out on this set so I just bought it and forget until that day comes.On release day, too!

Great lens, i have it and its great. Only downside is the lens if at 105 and doing building shots facing camera up the lens can creep/shorten but its a trade-off.After 18 months of procrastination and indecision I finally picked up an Sigma 24-105 f4 Art lens.
Super pleased with it, my decision to choose this over the Canon L Equivalent now seems like the right one.
But damn its heavy.
I have a 5D4 and an R and have been considering trading both for an R5. I want to try one first. The R and I believe the R5 also, may not be great on focusing if you only have horizontal lines ( I know that might not happen!). This is holding me back. I don’t use eye AF - yet, so maybe it’s not an issue for you, but it makes me nervous. Everyone seems to be impressed though.5DM4 for sure and possibly GFX50R undecided on that right now.

Yes, the 5D4 is probably the last of the 3 cameras I have that I would let go.I have a 5D4 and an R and have been considering trading both for an R5. I want to try one first.

Tomorrow I am shooting for a local paper and I’m glad I still have my 5D4 in my mitts. I know it will do what I need. It’s also under floodlights so I’m not sure how the R5 with the extra megapixels will compare, noise wise.
How many cameras and lenses have acquired that need to go so that you can start again?Loads of cameras and lens and thinking of selling the lot. Probably get something like a Nikon Z50 to replace the GAS acquisitions.
11 cameras and 25 lenses.How many cameras and lenses have acquired that need to go so that you can start again?![]()
