Sony A7x lounge

Really nice capture.

Ha I've got a boss too.

I might add the Batis 18 but can't even consider loosing the 16-35, it's just tried/proven/malleable​...and I bet the
Batis will be heavier but don't know. Just too many times I've needed zoom to frame what I want; but of all the Batis'
the 18mm would be the only one wide enough to interest me.

Rok 14/24 gets no better for full frame, countless wide astro review sites continually rule them the best...and I just
noticed on my next off week it's NO Moon for 5 days I've got to get Milky Way in while I can, there will be no stars
in Iceland or Svalbard

That and I've still got an EOS habit to feed.

Man he looks stoked!
Your Batis is a bokeh machine.

Thanks!

Bokeh is very smooth when the lighting in the OOF is flat, but it can get busy when there are hard lights in the background. This is where the GM has the advantage based on what I've seen so far.

Sony is such a money pit....because we've been getting barraged by really nice lenses and bodies left and right for the past year. It's a good problem to have but man the struggle to stay away is real lol.

It is for you latest lens type of guys.

For me sat here with my A7, FE35 2.8, CV40, FD Canon's it's completely fine

I thought I had my gas under control about a month ago. Turns out I hadn't

Yeah, I know how you feel. It seems that the older I get, the easier I can withstand the impulsiveness (read: my brain wins against my heart). And everything that "visits" my brain, has to pass the "justifiable test". There's a clear difference between "want to have" and "need to have".

That will never happen. I bet you will sell your Batis 1.8/85 (or any of the other Batis lenses you own) within 6-12 months.

It's gotten harder as I've gotten older because I actually have money now lol. It also helps to shoot for money. That's actually what funds (almost) all of my gear. A thousand dollar lens doesn't sound so bad when you can earn that much on the side in a month shooting extracurricularly.

Truth be told, I'm cheap everywhere else. Both of my cars are 10+ years old and as much as I like cars, I don't see them as the status symbol that a lot of people do so its not a priority to me. But we all need some sort of outlet in which we feel like we're working to have the means to do something we actually enjoy. For some people its cars...others clothes, or golf, or watches, etc. For me its photography.

The cool thing about photography is that the gear retains a lot of residual value over time. So you can own something for a couple of months, sell it and get most of what you paid for it back, and spend a little more to upgrade to something better if you like. Do this over the course of a couple of years and you can accumulate a nice kit spending money incrementally over time. Lenses retain more of their value than cars do! They're also not as big of a losing proposition as cellphones, which cost $800 a pop and are basically worth nothing when we replace them every two years.
