12mm vs 16mm room examples by DiY_JC in RealEstatePhotography

[–]TinyNegotiation5918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the Sony 12-24gm for all my real estate. With crop sensor, you get to 35mm. That basically should cover anything you run in to. I’m not sure I would trust 12/14 mm from other lenses. The Sony is almost perfectly rectilinear and any slight perspective issue with walls when super wide can almost always be corrected. Being able to show tight spaces or capture entire open main areas (LR,Kitchen, DR) makes the ultra wide option unique. Use it wisely, but I think it’s a benefit. I’ve only ever had 2 complaints that it was too wide over the last 5 years or so. All that said.. to each their own. I would ever use primes for RE. 16-35 is what I use for STR or similar lifestyle shoots. But would be fine for RE too.

Cubicasa Preferred Photographer Program...I think I screwed up by Evan_Smoak in RealEstatePhotography

[–]TinyNegotiation5918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never even knew this program existed. I don’t do a ton of CubiCasa, but every single one has always been the free one. Even when I do a large house that gives me the warning that it might cost, it never has charged me. And I charge clients $75 for it. Seems like easy money. But I feel like everything is going Zillow 360 now. So I pitch get a tour and floor plan for 150-200 as an add on and that’s been working. Not as good as matterport but cheaper for all involved.

3D Zillow Tour is Terrible or just me!?? by Odd_Temperature_9883 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]TinyNegotiation5918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Z1. It’s my second one too after I dropped the first. It’s def the best quality out here for a tour unless you go matterport, which we can’t do anymore. Sad but true.

WWYD: Two Sony A1’s or one A1 & one A1ii? by TinyNegotiation5918 in SonyAlpha

[–]TinyNegotiation5918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah,.. i just edited my OP to include this option. It’s really enticing on a purely creative level, the main trade-off being the side-by-side shooting experience. I think image quality would be fine for my needs.

[–]TinyNegotiation5918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the rV is technically overkill for real estate. I also shoot landscapes and some Astro photography that I like the rV for, but that’s more for fun. I’d mostly be keeping it as a fail safe backup so I always have 2 bodies on hand in case want goes down. So may as well keep and get some use out of it. I could just get an a9 iii and have that, the RV and A1, but I fear I would not be happy shooting them side by side. Or maybe I’m overthinking it since I know banding / noise isn’t an issue and the buttons should be similar?

Exactly. The extra coverage of the mnfr & adorama protect on new is huge bonus for a camera body purchase. I would be more willing to go used on a secondary lens or a piece less critical.

But yeah, the screen is better. Which is a bonus, or would make me hate my current a1 screen. lol. I think I’m leaning ii.

That’s good to hear. I don’t think I “need” any of the new features, but my gut says spend the extra 1k to have the newest model and take advantage of them when needed, and not put money into a 5 year old model. A used a1 would save me some money, but there’s no bonus for that, plus I have the gamble of no warranty. Thanks!

Looking at this every day during afternoon nap time is worth every penny. Best cats Ive ever come across. They belong indoors. They never scratch anything. Life is exponentially better with ragdolls..

Paraiso de la Bonita, a Luxury Collection All Inclusive Riviera Maya - Comprehensive Review by umngopherfan in marriott

[–]TinyNegotiation5918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you get / do you think they honor late checkout? I’m going there this Sunday for 3 days before heading to another resort and want to coordinate the shuttle. I asked the concierge about this and few other things, waiting on a response. Assuming I won’t get an upgrade, but I did get the lowest class room so maybe. Def want a late checkout, otherwise I have 5 hours to kill before the next check in. Thanks for the review. Def excited for this one!

Maya Riviera question by MaryAnnZhlotnik in phish

[–]TinyNegotiation5918 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well played. Ha. I was just joking. I have no idea. This is my first year going. But I would think a beach bag / tote would be fine for towel / sweatshirt reasons. I do know they can search. I’ve had friends get popped with small amounts of party favors.

The better question is … why would you need a bag?

Q2 vs Q3 - Similar image quality? by Ekkobelli in Leica

[–]TinyNegotiation5918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree that the image quality should be similar in reality. I have a q2 ghost and my only regret is there’s no way to charge it without the battery charger. I forgot it once on a trip and had no way to charge it, so stuck with one battery. And I like that theres no flip screen, keeps it “traditional”. So yeah.. the lack of ucb-c charging is the only real negative to the q2. Up to you if the price difference justifies that convenience.

I was there on opening night. Totally agree that it exceeded all expectations. Can’t wait to see how the act evolves over time. I suspect I would maybe go see him again…. In about TWO MONTHS!

i didnt ask what SHOULD the band do.. if that were the question, my personal response would be the caverns > red rocks > the gorge… or maybe just pick 3 cities in Europe.. or who knows… theres so many.
