Speaking of IS, the entire thing culminated in me buying a 24-70 f/4L IS from somebody on ebay - since an irrelevant search result when looking for info on the 28-300 reminded me that it existed - and it's smaller and lighter than the 24-70/2.8L II and has IS. And being an f/4 lens, it's not popular and cost me less than $400 used. If I decide to bring the R5 as a second camera, I'll just put that on it and call it good. The entire combo will be smaller than some of the Fujinon lenses for GF. 😅 -

Recently I showed something I did some years ago, shot on HDV with a Canon HV20. Some people were impressed that way back then I had such good equipment then shocked when I told them it was on a consumer HDV camera. (I did have a wide angle attachment and shot it in a log type mode then colour corrected it.) Cameras have been more than good enough for a long time. -

It has been on my "someday maybe I'll buy that lens" list for about 20 years now. Every year, the price comes down a bit more. Prices in the US are now about $500-600 and ebay prices from Japan are about $450. What's the inflection point where it goes from "maybe someday" to "buy?" Only time will tell. It was also superseded by a 28-300/3.5-5.6L which is a more useful range. Still a push-pull zoom along with the rude comments from friends that comes with that when using it. Used prices in the US are still high - $800+. Although... there is one on ebay for $400 which intermittently throws a communication error connected to the camera. Kind of tempted to take a flyer on that one and do the rubber eraser trick on the contacts - and if that doesn't work, disassemble the rear of the lens to see if it's a solvable problem... Exactly. It's important, when traveling, not to be too focused on a single specific outcome. In the end, it's about the adventure and the time spent together (the woman I'm dating lives in Brasil so we need to treasure our shared time, at least I can spend a few months there yearly because my job tolerates me working from there for a while). Renting a truck with a camper on it, there's always a danger that it breaks down and we miss some stuff due to lost time waiting for repair/replacement. By going with a vague itinerary, it's easier to focus on what we're actually doing vs fretting about things that will be missed (and if they are missed, just about all of them are guaranteed to be there if I ever choose to go back again). It's a strange world. 😅 Both of our countries feature landscapes from harsh desert to tropical jungle. Yours has a lot more aggressively dangerous flora/fauna, though. In mine, the danger is mostly from the residents of rural areas. In both places, there are spots to stand, breathe, and feel in awe of the amazing landscape sprawled out before you. (Even here in Minnesota, we have some places like that despite that it's objectively one of the most boring/flat states in the country) -
Just to be clear, I can already do this manually and incredibly tediously in my current editing software *cough* Premiere, but I am looking for something AI so I can skip losing a day of my life with each job. Cheers.
