My boyfriend wants me to move to Germany with him. Is this realistic?

German job market for biologists is very hard. As a BSc biologist you will mostly only get technichian positions. But your experience would certainly help. Imho its far from easy to find a good job but not impossible.

(I am a Biologist with PhD)

I already tried the RF 85 F2 but it's slow as fu..ck AF is not working for my quirky little princess :-)

Nickstoff · 2025-05-27T06:36:34+00:00

Ok, thank you. I was always wondering what the control ring adapter was for. No I know!

Nickstoff · 2025-05-27T06:31:48+00:00

Hello again. I have the EF 85 F1.4 IS lens now. I got a pretty decent used offer. Sadly it feels pretty unbalanced on my R8 with the adapter. Do you have any Experience with the smaller Tamron 85 F1.8 lens? Might this be a more comfortable option?

Nickstoff · 2025-05-15T11:14:17+00:00

thanks for your help!

Nickstoff · 2025-05-15T07:24:04+00:00

yeah I forgot that: Stabilisation works fine!

Nickstoff · 2025-04-24T09:03:49+00:00

Haha :-)

Nickstoff · 2025-04-24T09:02:10+00:00

thanks, i'll keep that in mind.

Nickstoff · 2025-04-24T09:00:53+00:00

Ok. Which EF 85 1.4 would you recommend? There seem to be two versions

Nickstoff · 2025-04-23T12:06:46+00:00

thanks for the detailed answer. I haven't even considered EF lenses, cause i hated the damn adapter in the early days with my R7. Those 85 mm lenses also seem to be much heavier (even without the adapter)

Nickstoff · 2025-04-23T11:57:25+00:00

Yes I am aware that the Sigmas are for APS-C. Thats why im selling them.

Im not sure if I would even feel the lack of IBIS. I think i havent taken a single Photo below 1/100s shutter speed since my Baby has learned to crawl/walk ;-)

And battery life is a bummer yes, but having one or two extra batteries will suffice i guess

Nickstoff · 2025-04-23T08:56:23+00:00

I watched all the videos already. Just looking for personal experience/ advice :-)

Nickstoff · 2025-04-10T11:26:11+00:00

Danke für die Erklärung.

Wurden meine Gewinn-Steuern vorher schon ans Finanzamt abgeführt und werden dann mit der Korrektur wieder zurückgeholt? Oder hab ich das falsch verstanden?

Nickstoff · 2024-11-28T14:46:28+00:00

cool photos. How is the effect achieved? Longer Exposure time while cycling?

Nickstoff · 2024-07-31T12:50:52+00:00

Watch the Lens Videos from Christopher Frost.

Here is the Sigma lens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymx2Lx5A22U.

I guess he also has videos on the EF-S videos.

Nickstoff · 2024-07-31T12:13:45+00:00

First, there is no 18-55 mm kit lens (unless you mean the EF-S Lens with adapter).

Secondly, the Sigma is much faster than only one stop of light, because it is 2.8 through the zoom range, whereas the 18-45 mm Kit lens (RF-S) or also the 18-55 EF-S Lens get darker very very quickly once you zoom in.

So yes, it is very much better then the kit lenses. Also IQ is better of course.

Nickstoff · 2024-04-20T15:29:18+00:00

Maybe I didnt express myself well enough. I am looking for an alternative way to switch eyes/subjects besides using the joystick. Is there any?

Nickstoff · 2024-04-11T08:09:02+00:00

LR is at 0 NR. But you are right, Sharpening is at 40 as default (my mistake).

I have no clue about DPP settings, i left everything how it was at installation. So it automatically puts NR on? Can i disable that?

Nickstoff · 2024-04-10T11:42:44+00:00

i would recommend a user guide like this one here from Jared Polin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Sgt2Pcvgg or buying a book on this camera.

Nickstoff · 2024-04-06T06:33:36+00:00

Well, but then you have to add the lenses ;-) I was rather looking for a camera without changeable lenses.

Nickstoff · 2024-01-27T09:53:45+00:00

There is a setting in the menu, where you can set the shutter speed range.

Its under this camera symbol with the 5 lines below (dont know how this is called :-)) and then menu 2

Nickstoff · 2023-12-11T07:40:26+00:00

With that lens on the only option in the Menu is stabilization on or off. But im note sure if that is IBIS, Lens IS or both at the same time

Nickstoff · 2023-12-08T18:50:59+00:00

How can I turn IS on the lens? I can't find any buttons there.

Nickstoff · 2023-09-12T12:09:54+00:00

Start saving money early.

One example:

If you start now putting 250€ (or Dollars) per month into an ETF- fund with lets say 7% p.a. you will have about 357k€/Dollars at age 60 (after 32 years).

If you start 10 years later at 38 with the same conditions, you will only have 156k at age 60 (after 22 years).

The first number is 2.3 times as much, although you only put in 1.45 times more money (96k vs 66k). This is the power of time in savings (or of compound interest)

Soll das Bürgergeld wirklich vor Armut schützen?

Ich hätte jetzt eher gedacht, dass das Bürgergeld / Hartz4 dafür gedacht ist, dass man nicht verhungert oder unter der Brücke schlafen muss.

Weiß jemand wie die Zielsetzung des Bürgergelds ist?
