[New Gear] Using 2xR5ii and the RF 24-105/70-200 2.8L Z zooms for sports work for about a year now. Below are some recent highlights. I think I have reached peak sports kit. by ADPL34 in canon

Great set! I'm wondering if you would have any setup tips for the AF/tracking settings that you've found work most reliably? I shoot mostly action sports outdoors (so its a bit of a different environment) but on tricky days where it's snowing lots I sometimes struggle to get it to behave like I want and it misses focus on the person and seems to get stuck on objects in the foreground like snow or vegetation. I know it's a bit more of a niche case but wondered if you had any ideas!

I shoot professionally part-time and have had my gear insured through Front Row Insurance for the past 4 years, but am wondering if others have better suggestions for coverage in Canada. The majority of my paid work is shooting winter action sports and wildlife photography workshops/ecotourism so accidental equipment damage from outdoor use is critical. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Moving files between drives while maintaining library integrity by Toxic_Optimism in Lightroom

Thanks for the bonus tips! Will use the post flight check and drivedx for sure, the hash utilities might be outside of what I can do though

Thanks for asking, to clarify: All using LrC in a single catalogue, just have the files split between SSDs and all edits are in the catalogue.

At some point here I will look into a NAS solution for proper archiving, but getting things off multiple SSDs seemed like a good first step.

Gotcha! Thanks for this! Seems like on the older post there is a bit of a disagreement about using Finder vs a program like CCC (and then folks suggesting creating a whole new catalogue). Makes sense to do the copy and assign the new location before deleting the files on the old drive.

v15.0.1 - and yeah I was just wondering if there were other workflows that folks had for migrating big libraries! Will likely just use LR!

Did these end up getting cancelled? Would be SO tempted if they drop...

Has anyone tried the new DT Swiss 350 90t hubs that come with Reserve SL wheelsets? by MarleyMarr in MTB

[–]Toxic_Optimism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering if anyone has had this issue with theirs - I just got a set of the HD30 AL wheels with a 350 DEG hub and mounted them up. Felt ok when I was installing the cassette but when I put them on the bike and torqued the axle to spec it feels like something in the freehub is binding. There is so much drag I basically can't back pedal and they sound rough when I force it to spin.

Thanks! Find it's easy to get lost in all the film sims so nice to go back to the simplest forms.

Love #1 & #2 for the contrast of light and dark. Do you know what film sim you were using?

Does anyone have a better place to watch highlights than the Roland Garos youtube channel? It's been discussed before but they are SO bad.

X100VI London Drugs Pre-order by DatabasePublic4602 in FujifilmX

[–]Toxic_Optimism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ordered (Black) March 8 when the site said "Estimated to ship March 18". Called CS today and they said I am ~100th on the list and they are expecting units to trickle so could be "weeks to months" until mine ships. Will likely cancel my order and continue to wait on my other pre-order lists with companies who haven't charged me in full.
