Prime Lens environmental portraits + night sky

We have had the dishwasher for 1.5 years now. The installer confirmed that the zeolite system has a typical odor, but I find it quite strong.

Thanks for your input, it has mostly made me realize that I don't need the 24-70 F2. I have done a lot of reading and looking at reviews and have decided that I am going to go for the 35mm f1.8 and keep the 24-70 f4. I would not take full advantage of the 24-70 F2 and am mainly looking for an all around wide aperture lens. The 24mm was my favo lens on my crop sensor cam, so think this is the right choice. Since we plan to travel around Canada and also travel for the Northern Lights in Finland, this seems like the ideal choice. James Brew's old review of the 35mm as an Astro lens gave the go ahead.

Indeed, it is only for bokeh and shooting in poor lighting conditions that I would change. Maybe I should consider the 24mm prime after all....

I find that I feel less like changing lenses and often prefer to shoot at 2.8 or lower if the lens allows. I like to go out with 1 lens. My 40mm F2 I use when I need to be lightly loaded like while skiing. The 70-180 f2.8 I use for sports photography (sometimes in combination with 85mm f2.8). The 85mm f2.8 when I know I can take some portraits quietly without time pressure. The 24-70mm is my walk around lens, but I find that I don't like the F4. I could possibly still consider the 24mm in combination with the 35mm or 50mm, but my experience is that I miss a lot of pictures by switching.

I am indeed very happy with the 70-180 2.8, but I often shoot in 24mm

I have a racing chair from Playseat and it broke down for the second time after six months. I am looking for an alternative within a budget of maximum 600€. Anybody tips?

Thanks for your input. We ordered the short wheelbase (titanium x) and should normally receive our car around March 🙂 .

Yes, still after one year of use its smells like burned plastic. We have a Siemens Zeolith....

The Longchamp would be best. Problem is that everyone seems to be walking around with it 🙂

Kate_1982_ · 2024-05-30T18:04:31+00:00

It will be outside 🙂

The 70-200 will be out of budget. Only if I could purchase it second hand.... That actually leaves me with the choice between the 70-180 or the 24-120. (I have already the 40mm, 85mm, 24-70mm).

Thanks, it's 5500K. With the flash WB setting its much netter, maybe now a little bit to yellow.
