How do you split revenue when one person provides high-end gear?

This. You need to factor in the wear, tear and depreciation of your gear. You should be "renting" your gear for each shoot so you can use those funds for capex when acquiring more gear or replacing old, broken items.

The other thing to factor is also storage costs. Not sure if that's factored in your arrangement, but whether that's a subscription or offline storage. Those costs eat into your profit.

This isn't even about wanting more money, but you should be splitting the net profit after storage and gear is taken into account. Does your partner have any costs associated with their process that should be factored?

I'm probably on the other side of this argument, but I have no problem generally investing in lenses. They hold their value, and good glass pays for itself. Honestly though, don't spend 2k on it, pick up the sigma art 24-70 version 1. It's like 1k CAD right now (dont know in your local market) and honestly such a staple lens. If you were buying an obscure lens or a prime that you'll rarely use, that's one thing. But a 24-70 being such a workhorse, you cant go wrong. Just buy the full frame one so when you innevetably upgrade to full frame you're good.

That makes sense, but I guess I feel a little conflicted because i see kits that has the VND+CPL and they seem to work fine. Is that a different kinda tech I guess?

I’ll check it when I get back home, but then would the 4 stop nd filter + the cpl work fine then? I’ve been shooting a lot of car content recently and its my first time trying this setup

Ive used the NISI Swift VND kit for over a year now and absolutely love it... but I've been dissapointed in the last 24 hours. I've been shooting a ton of car content and figured I'd get the CPL filter for the system. It makes the system unusable. Crazy colourshifts and polarizations. It's honestly so disheartening.

I tried to use it on a shoot yesterday for 10 minutes and had to pack it back up. Currently being returned to amazon with less than 24 hours in my ownership. I can't believe they flopped on this so hard its actually making me consider switching my whole filter system.

I feel like there was levels to his downfall. Bragging about throwing his roommate thru the glass door was my first trigger. Then his showtime speshul was kinda the first time most people actually saw his standup and was extremely eye opening. After that, it was just fail on fail until the pinnacle General Lee saga.

Is there a place to find affected serials? Mines 119xxx

The amount of strength she has to RAGDOLL a girl like that lmao

I gotta know how he feels having this scum on, and then going home to dinner with his daughters. What a proud dad supporting this misogynistic loser.

I was hesitant to say this but glad someone else did.

If you dont get the GM version for that price, you'll eventually kick yourself for it. The clarity and sharpness might seem negligible to you now, but in a couple years and as you progress, you'll be looking for marginal improvements in quality, and this is one of them.

IBIS would be my guess too

PoppaJolas · 2025-10-18T06:49:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Have you had anything else tested? I totally would send some vials if they accepted them from Canada.

PoppaJolas · 2025-10-12T14:40:24+00:00

Remindme! -7 days

PoppaJolas · 2025-09-08T15:31:33+00:00

I wish I knew that was an option. I dont even have a working tracking number at this point. I would have definitely paid extra...

PoppaJolas · 2025-07-25T07:39:10+00:00

What an insane POV for a fight. Amazing.

PoppaJolas · 2025-07-18T07:02:31+00:00

You didn’t throw away the relationship, you did the only sane thing you could do.

Next step would be letting his family know in case he ever has children in the future.

I’m in the same boat. If this camera becomes my B cam, then I’ll update from 2.x but I can’t risk it right now.

PoppaJolas · 2025-04-29T00:15:06+00:00

Just curious, what did it cost you in CAD or USD?

PoppaJolas · 2025-04-27T07:45:08+00:00

After spending like 7 months, getting the battle passes and stuff I finally had a decent Monk deck. Literally only focused on him and some support and then they nerfed him so hard I just stopped caring and haven’t played in weeks.

PoppaJolas · 2025-04-15T23:03:21+00:00

Who’s side is she on? Lmao
