Photograph and Camera talk

Amazing stuff on this thread. Found a nice winter shot from around my house I took some years back before I sold by Canon 7D Mark ii and all lenses (had not used the equipment for some years). This was mid 2024, and as a replacement for all the heavy Canon stuff I bought a Fuji 100VI. Could not get used to the limitations of the fixed lens, and sold again almost immediately again. Now consider getting a simple Sony full frame setup with the Sony A7CII and one walk around zoom lens as a light travel shooter...

Does anyone use drones for photography? I was really into it a few years ago with a Mavic 2 Pro. Considering re-entry. A few smaller options seem better or similar picture quality for a little less. DJI Air3s and Mini Pro 5 are on my list. I took this one at Red Rock canyon in Nevada.

There is currently a Maltese celebrity photographer's exhibition on at Corinthia Hotel London. There's some good stuff if you are in the area or fancy a high tea (or afternoon martini).

New camera day with the real intention to pick up this hobby that I have neglected for years now. Got a light and flexible travel set-up for upcoming trips. Holding back on starting to collect lenses again for now
Sony a7C ii with the Sigma 20-200.. the whole deal just at 1kg!

[Marc2706]

@Tobi I totally agree Tobi! The Sigma 20-200 is the perfect travel lens. I use it with my Sigma BF and it is also works very well

[Marc2706]

And sometimes it must be film. Hassi 500 C/M and Kodak Portra 400

A couple from the first days in Japan. I love everything about this trip. The people, the food, the trains, the nature, the photogenic streets. Kyoto pictures still to be sorted, next stop Tokio.

Just got myself a used Fuji XE3 (have always had and loved Fuji cameras). Anyway, first test shots on my last visit to the London office in Hackney...

[Steve]

@weftyarn great shots Emil, we are off to Japan again in June, loooking forward to getting some more great pics as well

[Tobi]

@Marc2706 the Sigma BF is really cool! I see now that I went to the opposite extreme with the Sony a7c ii: the complexity and depth of the user menu and the functionality is a bit over the top!

[Marc2706]

@Tobi Yes the sigma is very easy to handle. I am sure that the Sony is an excellent camera, but for me to complex.
