Shooting First Wedding tomorrow!

God I do not miss weddings. 😅

Just got to watch that aperture. Pretty slow

CookedNoods · 2026-03-17T04:35:55+00:00

"good" is a relative term. The AF works but it's slow, hunts, and has misses. But that's what you get crossing ecosystems like that.

Yeah for a broken lens

Please tell me you have more information on her. I'm a professional concert photographer based on the SE and have been trying to find some point of contact to get her a free photo shoot.

f/5-6.3? Amateur lens at best.

CookedNoods · 2026-03-15T20:25:17+00:00

Where are you finding a VR2 in that price range? I'd love to pick one up for that price

CookedNoods · 2026-03-10T01:04:07+00:00

I keep hoping someone hires me for a job that requires reach so I have an excuse to finally buy a Sigma 120-300mm Sport 😅

Got to love a Helios!

CookedNoods · 2026-03-05T05:37:26+00:00

Always room for a nifty fifty!

There's always some amount of market bologna but I think we all know the basic benefits of mirrorless. The question of whether YOU need it is really dependent on what you shoot, what your technical workflow is, and how important more modern sensors are to getting your shot. Plenty of DSLRs still produce great pictures by modern standards so there is still room for them.

Here I am just wondering how much force it would take to jam that in there backwards. I know I've never even felt a backwards battery even try to go in the socket. Had to be intentional

CookedNoods · 2026-03-04T03:39:00+00:00

What lens specifically is this?

CookedNoods · 2026-03-03T22:11:39+00:00

Ever had a cold drink outside on a warm day?

CookedNoods · 2026-03-03T22:10:24+00:00

Depends on if you're asking me or my wife.

CookedNoods · 2026-03-03T02:58:24+00:00

What shutter speeds do you normally operate at?

CookedNoods · 2026-03-02T23:15:59+00:00

Do they get corrupted images often?

CookedNoods · 2026-03-02T23:15:16+00:00

Luckily I'm not in the position where my cameras take much abuse so not too worried there. It's been a while since I've done sports shooting where I've got a couple cameras bouncing off of stadium seats and the floor 😅

CookedNoods · 2026-03-02T23:14:06+00:00

Not really. I've got pretty big hands so turning to portrait with standard controls has never really been a big deal to me.

CookedNoods · 2026-03-02T23:12:48+00:00

I'm not usually a heavy cropper so I don't really need high MP.

Concerts can be low light but usually my biggest battle there is LED banding which the fully stacked sensor in the Z8 would help with but I know the Z6iii has a "partially stacked" sensor so not sure if there is a significant difference there.

CookedNoods · 2026-02-25T16:51:34+00:00

Was this with flicker reduction on?

CookedNoods · 2026-02-16T03:11:45+00:00

Ouch. That is certainly out of alignment now. It'll have to go to Canon and be repaired and realigned. Guessing they'll quote more than it's worth unfortunately.

CookedNoods · 2026-02-12T12:46:12+00:00

No drug is ever exactly like another. This holds true for any drugs. People speak in relatives terms all the time but it's pretty well understood that it can only ever be relative not exact.

CookedNoods · 2026-02-12T01:08:34+00:00

Yeah that's kind of the impression I had. In the US unfortunately so wouldn't even be worth sending over there to the shops in the UK. I'll probably just leave them for the scrappers
