I've been trying to strike a balance recently. It's frustrating for me. For those of you who can simplify, I'm a bit envious.
I shot the manual Rokinon branded Samyang lenses on a Canon 5D2. Excellent lenses.Right now I'm shooting with an A7ii and a trio of AF Samyang lenses.
Minimal and relevant.
Gear peace for the moment.
I'm waiting for dual joysticks and direct upload to the Googapplezon orbital quantum computer.I decided to step back in time . . . I found a mint condition X-T1 for a really good price. It's not the latest or greatest, but I've had the T1/23WR combination before, they work well together, and this combination was less than a T2 by itself. 16MP is plenty for me, and having Acros wasn't worth several hundred more $$$. Other things like the dual card slots and joystick are not big issues for me.
Amen! Add in IBIS, and I'll be all over it.Oh how I long for a Fuji body the size of the GX9, weather sealed, RF style, with a tilt screen.
I SOOO wish these were available back when I was shooting events or at least when I could've still justified changing my mono lights for them. Now I really don't have a need for them, but still.........downsize my lights from AD600's to AD200's. I'm giving up 400w in power. But 200w lights are bright enough for what I shoot. Plus, the AD200's are a lot more portable and versatile. I can throw the AD200 in a camera bag with a body and two lenses.
I picked up one as a backup to my AD600's from a guy on FM who used it for one shoot. So basically brand new. I find myself grabbing the AD200 most of the time because it's so much easier to work with.I SOOO wish these were available back when I was shooting events or at least when I could've still justified changing my mono lights for them.
