Very nice Travis. Stars pointy good, no coma, and a great composition.

That is why I like the B18 so much...when focused right, it is excellent.

I have a bunch of stuff for sale including the 85 GM. I'm debating which to keep the GM or the Art. Understand I also own the 85 1.8 FE too for travel/wife use. I'm almost debating if it's just too redundant but I'm a huge 85 shooter. The art is just oversized for the camera while the GM is really just about perfect. The Art is simply stunning on IQ but I find while the GM is not as sharp it's rendering, colors and bokeh is just more attractive.

I thought about since the 85 1.8 FE is simply that good then swap the 1.4's for the 105 1.4 Art but then it's huge and funky too. I already own one huge and funky lens the 200/2 and nothing matches it.

Decisions Decisions.

FWIW, my brother seems to be in a similar boat. He's a pure canon shooter though, and longing to get back into the Sony world. He's looking to get rid of the 5D3, 11-24, 24-105, 85L, and 200 f2 L.

With the proceeds, looking to get the A7iii + 12-24G + FE 85 f1.8, and that's it, nothing more.

Landscapes, and portraits of his kids, that's all he cares for. The only two lenses he's used for the past few years has been the 11-24 and 85L, and his biggest complaint is that they are too big. A7iii combo, while not directly competitive, is half the weight and significant size savings.

I once almost bought those.. or some very similar.
As a street shooter(or used to be primarily) i thought they could be useful.. but if i recall correctly i still had to press the side of the glasses, i was hoping for some sort of hand held control..

Speaking of street ..
I made the mistake of watching a leica Q video 2 days ago.
And now ive been watching/searching videos and reviews obsessively..
Comparable to the rx1 r2..

Trying to figure out whar i can sell

Of course If.. and that is a big if.. i did go for it , it would be a secondary camera as it is a fixed l3ns

i wanna use it for biking and driving.

Again? Or is this from when they used a Canon 5D3 a couple years ago?

OK, I just pulled the trigger and here is my new computer. I think it will hold me over for a year or two. Delivery will be around the middle of next week.

Question: Does anyone have a 4K monitor and if so, do you like it? I have a 27" 2560 x 1440 Dell display that I'm running now and I"m thinking about updating to the new BenQ 27" monitor. I haven't decided whether to get the 2K version like I'm familiar with or the 4K version. There is a big difference in price too of course.

dual monitors! how could you do with out? :P

honestly though.. On my bonus monitor that I use for media, I do wish I could have gotten a 4k monitor to view 4k. I decided not to because at that time it was meant for 1080p so I didnt think I need the 4k. Now more 4k medias are available so I will eventually get a 4k to replace the old.

but in your case, you already have a 4k tv, I think dual screen will be more useful for your needs.

btw I have that same case at work and I think it looks nice one problem I have is if I installed an extra mechanical hard drive on the upper right section where the cd-rom is, it tends to rattle. I would have to stick some sort of object (used cardboard) to tighten up the fit.

I did wind up ordering a second monitor like the one I'm already familiar with, a 2K 2560 x 1440 IPS from Dell. Heck, I get neck strain from viewing 2K on a 27" monitor now. If I set two 27" monitors side by side, I'd need a neck brace for sure.

Thanks for the heads up on the 'rattle' issue. The new computer is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and I plan on installing the secondary 1.5TB drive from my current computer to the new one. I'll know then which bays are in use and which are available. My drive that will be exported over has all my programs, keys, serial numbers, desk top shortcuts, and a spreadsheet of subscription sites and other locations such as the control panel to my personal website with the usernames/passwords and links. I'm amazed at just how many there are.
