Haha. I am not one of those then... Lenses are more important than cameras, really. It's true a lot of people are happy with one modern 24-70mm F2.8 for silly prices like $2k that can only be used on ONE camera and maybe a fast 50mm... F1.2? for another $2k (fuck me... no wonder they don't own many), maybe a longer lens - 70-200mm perhaps for 2 grand or whatever, that is 6 grand totally down the drain. Just get a good 35mm prime and learn to use back-button AF. I don't understand why they think the heavy zooms are such a great option. The 24-70s are massive and don't have the character of a nice 35mm F1.4. 28mm or 35mm are a fantastic focal lengths... Not too wide for people shots, easy to crop to a 50mm FOV. The do-it-all lenses. Give me a small 28mm F2 like the Leica Q over a DSLR 24-70 any day... I have the images to prove it! -

I see the guy responsible for Liquid Ass has taken his ass off to Meta, which in my opinion is one of the most unethical companies in the world. Quote of the week comes from Tim Cook: “The truth is we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer, if our customer was our product" “We’ve elected not to do that.” “Privacy to us is a human right. It’s a civil liberty, and something that is unique to America. This is like freedom of speech and freedom of the press.” “Privacy is right up there with that for us.” ** Last time I looked, privacy was not unique to America. In fact, Tim has just spent the past 12 months cozying up to a fascist dictator. Maybe he got kicked in the head by a horse, I don't know. But something there isn't quite right there. Could it be that these companies are taking us for fools? Alan Dye is the guy responsible for the current mess at Apple by the way... Alan's a perfect fit for Meta as he appears in my opinion for all the world to be an absolutely world class bullshitter. If fake-it-till-you-make-it was an olympic sport he'd be the GOAT. How a design department under his leadership took years to come up with a worse phone UI, a cheap Android-like skin with folders that look like fucking icecubes, I'll never know. It must be one of the worst tech failures of all time. The quality control is nowhere. The aesthetics are awful. The AI side is an abject failure (Apple even admit it). What is it with these fuckers and failing upwards? He's gone from one of the most highly compensated positions in tech to possibly an even higher paid one, and his singular achievement has been to ruin our phones. I am actually an Apple fan, their design ethos under Jonny Ive was sensational and the engineering has always been spectacular, people criticise them for design over substance, it's total BS - Apple Silicon is a revolutionary architecture. The current Macbooks are the best laptops ever made. The iPhone, which gave rise to it (RISC Apple Silicon) have always featured the best operating system on a phone, by a mile, it's not even close. So what the hell is going on under Cook? This is a company which is able to attract the best product, marketing and engineering talent in the world, bar none. They should not be ending up in this situation, by promoting Alan fucking Dye into senior leadership positions. In my opinion they should roll back everything he's done. Give us back iOS 18 and apologise. The fact they have gone cap in hand begging to Google for ai features is the other big humiliation of 2025 for Apple. This is a rival which literally stole the very concept of a modern smartphone from Apple, and they are now rewarding them for it. -
Thanks to A7V the S1II is AU$1000 off in Oz, making it same price as R6III and few hundred dollar cheaper than A7V, so competition is good for us consumers, but yeah never get new camera on pre-order unless its likes X100VI for the profit ha. -
RF lens have price for both High/Mid/Low atm so I m actually fine with it (haven't got RF L lens, but no need to), I just got the RF 45mm 1.2 recently, no other 3rd party do F1.2 at such low price. Beside you loss some function with 3rd party like slightly worser AF, no Dynamic Active IS and limiting FPS for high speed shooting on some brand, and incompatible issues with new body or new firmware. When I was with Sony the only 3rd party lens I got is tamron 28-200mm cause sony 24-240mm sucks, the rest of my len is G/GM lens. The old Zeiss 24-70mm F4 is really showing the age vs newer zoom lens except the 28-70mm 2.8 lol. Currently I use some Sigma lens on my S1II and there is a difference on AF tracking/hunting vs Panasonic lens, but at least I dont get limited to 15FPS or no Active IS..
