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

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.

New travel setup complete: very happy with the 7l Wotancraft Pilot Camera bag! I have an old Domke F2, but this thing is less boxy, wears more comfortable and has a genious magnetic one hand operation clasp. Also: with a bigger bag I am sure to fill it, which will make any 10l+ bag to heavy....

Seeking advice here…
Interested in buying a new camera. Currently have a Nikon D100 slr with several lenses. Now looking for something far smaller and portable enough for multiday motorcycle travel. So mostly documenting memorable moments during trips: people, scenery, selfies, flowers, trees, rocks, birds, and so on. At this point I’ve narrowed it down to a FUJIFILM X100VI.
Grateful to receive feedback on the pros and cons of this choice, and other options which may be preferable.
Any inside info on availability of the X100VI? B&H Photo currently lists it as UNAVAILABLE.
Thank you gents.

@motojobobo I would always go for Fuji - love the style, but also more the way the images come out due to the slightly different way the sensor is.
I would love a X100VI, but bit too expensive (and hard to get hold of). But also look at the Fuji XE range, the new XE5 looks fantastic, plus you can change lenses on that range, so a bit more versatile - I got a XE3 with a fast 27mm lens, so similar results to a X100.
