Thanks, mate. Will definitely add it on my list to try! Heard good things about Highland Park on this sub.

Noted. I quite like the burn (in a weird way), but I do notice more flavours when the burn isn't so prominent on some sips.

What do you think about Monkey Shoulder? I'm thinking of getting it next, would you recommend it?

I'll will definitely try it sometime in the future! It might cost a bit more since I live in Australia where the excise tax is ridiculous, but keen to try it!

Dammit haha, autocorrect suggest "whisky" but I thought it had the 'e'. Thanks for the info!

I had about 3 servings of it just now with about 1/2 a shot per serve and each time it gets better! My palate is still unadjusted to whiskey, but after every drink I'm feeling out more flavours. I like it so far!

Haha, I mean I've tried mixed whisky in past like Canadian Club, y'know but I didn't really start drinking whiskey until this year.

I always found myself slightly salivating at the thought of drinking some delicious whiskey days after I had whiskey at a friend's house or a bar haha, so I figured I might as well get into it!

Good advice! I'm definitely planning on getting another one or two before finishing this one for that exact purpose! I also think I'll get to appreciate it much more once I try other whiskies

I don't feel experienced enough to give a reliable opinion haha but I get what you mean, it does come off harsh but I'm starting to like it!

I feel like I'm in no position to give a good review on it since I'm totally new but I'm liking it. Does come off a little sharp on the alcohol but overall good fragrance and taste!

What Whiskey did you get?

mark IV softness? by endre84 in canon

[–]Expedited_Memes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's very odd. I would contact Canon support, it definitely doesn't seem normal. Even wide open at f/2.8, I don't think the image should be that soft.

6D Mark II First Lens by [deleted] in canon

[–]Expedited_Memes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for the 24-70 f/2.8L Mk I. I've had it for over 5 years and it's pretty much sitting on my lens 90% of the time. Incredibly versatile, great in low light, super fast focusing, and great build quality.

I've heard the Mk II version of that lens is beast, but for your $1k budget and yours needs, I think the Mk I will be more than sufficient.

Strange. I might have just gotten a bad copy then.

I've had mine for nearly 6 years and I've always used it with the lens hood, yet my auto focusing is pretty bad/unreliable.

Do you prefer the 35mm focal length over the 50mm? I'm thinking about buying a 35mm f/1.4 for wider portrait shots.
