Exceptionally small beer - a cap buckle (because I'm forever losing my lens caps in the multitude of pockets I have)
R5 and rf 100-500 ok........previously tried 1DX ans 70-200...but that was a bit too much.......What's the longest lens you could use it with do you think?
Fuji are offering generous cash back on gf lenses to gfx100 owners...
What are you thinking of going for?
Decided to dip my toe into drones, and have ordered a Mavic Mini 2. Excited!
A big old DSLR! I’ve got a fancy for a Nikon D850, but the wallet is saying more likely a D810!
Wifey would probably say neither
Lucky I just got back from a walk, as got an email saying I will be getting a delivery in a bit. So one very BIG box to look forward to opening
Will you be doing an unveiling (unboxing ) or is it a secret
I am debating selling ALL my remaining Nikon FF kit as I am enjoying the 645z so much. Watch the classifieds on here, good stuff does come up. D810's are very good for the money but the D850 is class also
Sell it get the Pentax 300mm f/5.6 I actually use to own the lens when I had the 645D bloody good piece of kit! Can't beat the quality of the medium format stuff, only reason I went back to DSLR kit was fps and size, fitting a 645 series a lens or two compared to a 1D/5D size body and 35mm in my bag for work was just near impossible the room I had.
Talking on the terms of GAS just got myself a crazy good deal traded my old pride and joy the Canon 1Ds Mark II for a Canon 1Dx in good nick 145k shutter count with less than £200 difference!
It's no even dear, you can get them on eBay for a few hundred - same with the 150-300 which given how I use the camera might be better.
IQ is off the chart and the camera is just a pleasure to use - even more so than the Nikon.
But yes...it's not exactly the most portable rig in the world but I tend to shoot fairly close to the car and when walking take just the lens I need for the shoot. In that sense I am finding the gear works pretty well.
Exactly I remember when I jumped ship for the price I sold a 24-70mm Canon I got like 3/4 lenses Pentax fit covering all ranges, I was shocked for the money how decent they actually were.
For the landscape shots and that kind of stuff it really is the best, I can see & understand why you are hanging onto the Nikon stuff just to cover all bases I would imagine you got some larger mm Lenses left for the Nikon, mind you the old D8xxx series are superb specially for the money.
I've got a 70-200 2.8 and 200-500 5.6. I've tried my hand at birds etc with the 200-500 but it's just not my genre. Now - I've used the 200-500 for the odd landscape but never beyond 240mm...yet but once in the Alps I might well want this...a lot.
The VR on the 70-200 2.8 is handy and I fear I would miss it. But between the 80-160 I have for the 645z and the 150-300 I'd have the field of view plus some covered and the funds released from the D810, 70-200 2.8 and 200-500 would be significant and would more than cover the cost of the 150-300 and 300 5.6 leaving me with stacks of left over cash
Decisions mate, decisions.
Thanks, that GAS ship has sailed now. Bought a Z6I am debating selling ALL my remaining Nikon FF kit as I am enjoying the 645z so much. Watch the classifieds on here, good stuff does come up. D810's are very good for the money but the D850 is class also
Decisions indeed mate! very true when we can travel again that D810 200-500mm combo as you say in the alps and similar settings maybe unmissable, really handy for them shots, hard to replace 500mm on 645z I mean you could argue you could just crop but if your like me that's the last thing you want to do, you want me be utilizing all them juicy MP's
Just delivered now, and what a thing of beauty it is too.

Now that looks a piece of kit!!
Thank you, I can't wait to get it all set up and start my journey in to astrophotography. I just have to do a lot of Googling of How to Polar Align a EQ5 mount indoors. And it's raining and cloudy here now.

Cant wait to see the results from that, always fancied looking into astrophotography but I dare look!
A circular polariser for my 28-70.
I’m intent on quality over the budget side of things (although I can’t imagine any 95mm filter thread will be cheap )
So it’s time to get researching...
I have one here which I'm certain is 95mm than I haven't used for ages. It sits on the front of a Hitech square holder. I'll dig out some more info if you want?

Nothing special for me. Looking at a good sturdy tripod.
Very likely leaning towards Manfrotto 190XPRO4 but it kind of depends on price at the moment.
