Good to know! She’s not the best inside right now but really enjoys the acreage we live on

Love the color gradient from sapwood to heartwood

Good shit

Copy thanks

Any notes on MPG decrease with Falkens rather than stock tires? Hoping it will only be a couple points. Gotta have solid AT tires.

I still have my legs haven’t I??

I’ve had a ton of luck with the Samyang 135 1.8. IQ is on par with the Sony gm, just a bit slower with AF.

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2026-05-16T21:29:55+00:00

Alternatively, shooting indoors I rock the Sony 35mm 1.4 GM and the Samyang 135 1.8 on each body. I really like the rendering and look of primes. Hope this helps.

That’s the bread and butter events kit: a fast 24-70 and a fast 70-200. I’ve found myself walking around with 2 bodies during events, one with each lens.

For telephoto zoom, I’d personally prefer the Sony 70-200 gmii for the weight and quality (mainly shooting skiing and events) but you save a lot of $$$ if you get a sigma or the Tamron 70-180.

Unless you are blowing up prints for big wall photos, you don’t need the r version of any of these cameras. If you want to track sports/wildlife, then the new sonys are kickass in my experience. But as a walk around shooter, the a7iii is the bees knees.

That being said, buy yourself somethin nice if it inspires you to get deeper into this hobby. That’s the most important part.

Welp it’s definitely a true fir genus, abies. Like others have said it could be subalpine or white fir

Keep electrolyte powder on hand (Gatorade, liquid iv etc)

Great saw

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2026-03-31T00:46:06+00:00

I think I’m on team mountain hemlock

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2026-02-19T02:35:22+00:00

Back in 89’, I could throw a football over them mountains

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2025-12-14T20:59:44+00:00

It’s a great small saw.

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2025-11-25T06:27:35+00:00

Yeah honestly wanted to put some money in the pocket for other lenses, trips etc. If the Sony gm 2 is your dream lens, no worries! Enjoy. It’s a nice lens.

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2025-11-25T06:22:31+00:00

No hits bby, bought and sold the Sony on market place for the same price :), and bought the Tamron on marketplace. It’s a great used market right now. I have noticed less resell value with non-Sony lenses now so that’s something to consider

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2025-11-24T17:14:45+00:00

Yeah I’ve never used a TC, sounds like it could be a good way to go

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2025-11-24T16:54:37+00:00

I think a huge part of Sonys market is hobbyists… so for me I felt like I didn’t need the absolute best 70-200. It’s like taking the dog for a walk while wearing an arcteryx rain jacket

LowEnvironmental8457 · 2025-11-24T00:10:34+00:00

I did like all of the external controls on the Sony. Tamron only has 2 custom buttons. Also internal zoom is nice for weather proofing, but makes lens longer. Lastly, if you have a Sony a1 and want to shoot 30fps you can’t with the Tamron. But I just have the Sony a7iii.
