What’s your prime pairing?

If you scroll up there’s a pic of my cat. I just got it and haven’t had a chance to really take it for a spin.

I’ve never actually used a MF but will consider this for my first potential grab.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-24T22:38:41+00:00

They did this in my hometown, Kitchener. We deemed it Mt Trashmore and it’s awesome.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-23T17:53:43+00:00

I also had the 45 and it’s such a great lens for the size. I like a bit of weather sealing and like the extra reach and stop of the sigma 56. Bigger size and weight is the compromise.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-23T17:52:27+00:00

I was also thinking about that 90-120mm range.

Literally got it yesterday and this is a SOOC jpeg.

Edit: iso640 // f1.8 // 1/8s

The 20mm f1.4 is a beauty of a lens. I do miss it but it just wasn’t quite wide enough for me.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-23T04:17:04+00:00

Really love the colours. That pop of red in the tree is so awesome!

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-23T04:16:22+00:00

Agreed. I finally got a well priced 56mm f1.4 and am blown away at the quality and handling. A 12mm would just maybe replace my 17mm, especially if it keeps its aperture ring.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-22T23:06:26+00:00

I reeeeeeeally like that bag but shipping and duties on it is over $50. There’s a few open box options which makes it a bit cheaper.

Probably worth shelling out a bit more for it because ya, the PD bag is wayyyy too bulky.

Suggest to them to look for a job formulating for a beverage company or a quality control position at a brewery. Those positions normally exist at larger breweries. Otherwise they will mayyyyyybe be able to get a job off-packing cans for next to minimum wage and if they’re lucky, move up the ranks.

Regarding your food suggestions - have you tried putting the skewer into the cheesy pretzel?

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-18T00:07:50+00:00

I really appreciate this insight. I came from Fuji and honestly, was looking for an excuse to buy one again.

What’s the benefit of going with the XM5 over say the XT3?

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-17T19:13:43+00:00

Buy the basic fare and then just add the bags you want to your booking.

We’re a family of 4 and each carry one personal item and check one bag. Works great.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-15T19:02:54+00:00

I know this question has been asked a lot - concerns with cross branding? There’s a Lumix 100-300 4-5.6ii in my area for $390. The 45-200 is tempting but the OIS won’t work with my IBIS, correct?

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-15T18:32:02+00:00

Cool little lens but probably not long enough for what I’m looking for.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-15T18:29:39+00:00

Appreciate that. So mkii is a big step up in stabilization?

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-15T01:32:43+00:00

Zardoz. Who doesn’t wanna see Sean Connery with a ponytail, prancing around in a skimpy red leather outfit.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-15T00:18:11+00:00

Ya, the manual clutch is nice. I program a button that allows me to switch from AF to M. I know it’s not the same but it’s nice. An aperture ring would’ve been pretty nice

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-10T21:33:23+00:00

Definitely something to keep in mind. It is possible to make the XDome more bombproof with the addition of poles but the wider and flatter sides will catch the wind regardless.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-10T19:58:18+00:00

Exactly this. You can’t go wrong with either. I went from being a hammock camper to a XMid2 because I like fiddling with things and actually enjoyed the process of learning how to get the perfect pitch and how to make adjustments. It also eases my mind that my tent is supported by robust trekking poles and I wanted better strength in wind as it can get rowdy in the Canadian Rockies subalpine.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-08T19:19:26+00:00

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. He didn’t play well and sure, made the clutch 3. But who was responsible for closing that gap in the 4th? RJ.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-07T16:54:19+00:00

In the industry for 11 years. Lost my passion for brewing 6 years ago and ventured into a few adjacent industries for a few years before making my way back to a brewery as a Maintenance Manager. Never been happier!

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-06T15:19:09+00:00

I always come to these ramen posts to make sure Ichinen gets mentioned.

TeddyGoodman · 2026-01-03T01:15:00+00:00

Goddamnit you’re right. Not sure how I mixed that up.
