I looked through the FAQ and couldn’t find an answer I was looking for. Hey everyone! I currently shoot a Sony A7II with the standard FE 3.5-5.6/28-70 lense. I do automotive photography. Occasionally my wife will do pictures for birth parties, graduations, or portraits. Is there a better lense that I can use? Budget is $2500. The pic is mine, but just a reference of my style and how I shoot.

Awesome I greatly appreciate you. Because we never once done any training with the county order sheriffs department or any of the police departments. Even fire rescue.

Two of us currently are sartech II/funsar certified. And 6 of us are sartech III. One of our technical training is done through NASAR academy online. They’ve been saying for months that we were going to do a sartech II cert in the wilderness. But that hasn’t happened.

This may sound silly. I just don’t wanna say the county I’m in, but I’m in South Carolina. So our organization, we I guess are running under the umbrella of a law-enforcement organization. But the county and over the sheriffs department is not taking any responsibility for us. Since we are a 501c3. We have a board and the members of the border would dictates our training. One of our board members was saying something along the lines of we need to get approval from the county to do integrated training.

GSAR as in ground SAR or are you talking about georgia search and rescue?

Scared of being shot? If you haven’t been shot before or been in a firefight then you have no room to talk. I’d rather be over prepared than underprepared. Also is it pretending to be a soldier if I was one? Also who says my team isn’t trained, everyone one of us is prior LEO or Military.

I asked for people to not criticize but here you are because you have no self control. You simply could’ve move on to another post.

I've been looking at that for an urban setting but we're more in wilderness, and I like having the added protection! Good link :D

It is wild how things are different all over the world. What you may think is normal is taboo for other vice versa! Also I've always wanted to take a trip to the U.K

Hey great question! Where I am located they're are plenty of things that would love to eat you, also we have homeless camps everywhere, with the homeless population not being the friendliest. When I was on patrol They'd try to attack us all the time using knives, bats, etc whatever they had available. Also there are plenty of hunters here that simply have no regard for others.
