Good idea to give away your serial number?

Oh, just replaced the image. BTW, what harm is in showing the serial number?

I must have missed it Vinz. What did you order?

Congrats anyway, whatever it is.

I'm going under the assumption that a Sony sensor was used in my buddy's smartphone that he used to take this photo.

I bought my car on Oct 31, 2014, and today, it just rolled over the 12,000 mile reading on the odometer.

One more payment and it's mine too.

That's not much mileage!! I don't do a great deal really - I think I'm covered for about 6-7,000 a year. I'm lucky really that my work, the main supermarket we use, my mum's, my kids, Beccy's mum, my dad's & the lock up are all with a 2.5 mile radius of home!

I actually had to MOT the old Escort today - 271 miles in the past year!!

Wow! only 12k miles in 5 years. I bought my Audi Q7 on December 2018 and I was at 10,900 miles yesterday, but that does include a recent 3,700 mile road trip.

I presently scheming to do a exploratory 4-month trip to La Paz (or Loreto) Baja (2nd quarter 2020) and I’m scared to think what that’s going to do to our 2020 mileage.

If we’re serious about moving to such a place - and we are - it behooves us to go there and spend significant time there first. Hate thinking about that looooong drive and all the wear and tear.

That's not a lot of mileage, indeed. I bought my Nissan Rogue 2018 exactly a year ago and have already put away 15K miles on it, mostly for wedding painting around Houston, West TX and Oklahoma.

I drive for my work and put 15-20k a year on.

For the too small for me a6400 I bought a Smallrig L bracket with rosewood grip which is a hard wood. I had room at the lens but it was cramped so I altered the wooden grip to be more accomdating. Used some spray polyurethane to finish it off.

Looks really good Bill.

I just got the 6400 also. Definitely smaller grip than the 6500. I put a leather 1/2 case on it which bulked it up nicely. Also looks kinda nifty!

Cory post up some pics of your camera.

I don’t like Sony bodies at all.

Unfortunately I’m totally addicted to the superior technology trapped inside those crappy Sony bodies.

Crap to you is gold to me. I love the full size bodies and the latest improvements are outstanding. Just told my doctor (who
bought my a99ii and is looking at my a7Riii) that I don't like Nikon DSLRs at all, but love their lenses. I suppose all of us
have likes and dislikes.

Looks like a good mod. I just haven't been able to convince myself to deal with the ergonomics of the smaller body and I've gotten too spoiled with the Z battery to want to go back.

Poof really enjoyed the a6400 on the trip, esp combined with the 100-400.....too much she did. But I've got the 70-350G pre'd which she'll love more (weight/size) so
I can put the 100-400 on the Riv and keep the 200600 on the a9.
