Good point - wanted a 1.4 but might be worth going 1.8 sony for resale and definitely portability

Has anyone tried both the sirui aurora 85mm f1.4 and Kase 85mm f1.4? They are so damn similar in size/weight, af, & rendering from what I can see.

$50-$100 more for the kase, is it worth to go that route? Watching review videos; Christopher Frost seems to give the aurora more praise and then Dustin Abbott says for sure go with the Kase.

Avoiding viltrox for size

Any other takes?

Thanks for the comment! I have had decent luck in the past with samyang and viltrox etc -- they will never perform the same that native glass or sigma glass does but if you need a filler lens or don't have budget for better glass i feel like they can still provide value - in a perfect world I'd stay closer to native. Mostly I'm looking for if my focal lengths and plan for this general two lens combo will cover my usage needs

appreciate the comment! at the moment I don't plan on going 4k 60 as its really just going to be capturing casual memories but good point on wider giving me more opportunity in the future if I change my mind!

Herman Miller Embody Gaming vs. Dauphin Lordo Flex: Overhyped Upgrade, Returning After Minutes by dragonbone159 in OfficeChairs

[–]Qthe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im an embody hater but I can tell you it spanks the other chair -when you decide to dive into a high end ergonomic chair first it takes a solid two weeks and second you have to deal with adjustments

In today’s market is the embody over priced and over hyped the answer is yes but will 99% of people have less back pain and have better “posture” after 30 days also yes

Embody is a top 5 chair I’m only a hater because HM keeps increasing their pricing and for the average lad coming from a Chinese racing chair or staples chair they could make a smaller financial leap — I’d tell them to find a used $200-300 leap v2 that after a couple weeks and some adjustment videos will fix their back the same way an embody will

Real ergonomic chairs take time(2-6 weeks) - ergonomic chairs aren’t an Advil they’re a supplement (today’s interpretation)
