    • I don’t know but it came from MPB UK with their standard 6 month used warranty and I doubt they’d deal in stolen goods. Most likely someone’s favourite YouTuber said, “actually, I know I just hopped over from Sony to LUMIX, but I’ve decided to now go to Nikon”. One of those talkers/collectors who never actually shoots, just talks and collects and maybe one day, when they have finally assembled all the right kit, will actually use it 🤷‍♂️
    • Yeah, I watched a few comparison videos and took notes, decided I wanted the Blazar 1.5x adapter as it was the softest, lightest and had the least horizontal flares.  Then I looked up how much they all cost and bought the Sirui! I genuinely have no idea if I'll like it, but I figure it should either be useful to take the edge off my modern zooms, or to add another layer onto my vintage lenses.  If I combine it with my 0.71 m42-m43 speed booster, it makes the end result a 1.14 crop factor, so basically a FF camera, which will make a lot of my lenses a bit easier to use in practice. I got the email from Sirui Australia but I guess maybe the bottlenecks might be upstream.  Who knows.  Reverse-engineering global supply line logistics is probably an impossible task and won't get my adapter here any faster! Thanks, my Global Head of Design was responsible for the selection. My fairy lights are excellent - the lights are bright, tiny (so are essentially point sources), and the whole thing runs off a USB so no power adapters etc to deal with.  The wire is just a thin single-core wire so easily bends and is relatively fragile, so I'll have to work out where to put them up for testing.  I was thinking I might just put them up in my studio and when I want to test bokeh I can just plug a portable USB charger into them, turn off all the other lights and then wave the camera around.
    • It is a very nice camera from my experiences with it, though I've only used it a half dozen times. I actually just texted my buddy who owns it and asked if it had overheated yet, since it's now the hottest time of year here in Vermont, and he said it hasn't and he has had it out in the sun on 90 degree days. He doesn't do super long takes though like I would as an event shooter. 
    • It's almost certainly because they bought a boatload of them and need to get rid of them.
    • Salford? I've stayed there when I went to see The Stone Roses on the Etihad Stadium. The apartment was kinda close of the famous (by The Smiths) Salford Lads Club. 🙂
