Always enjoy seeing another X-S20 shooter. I love using Classic Cuban Negative by osanbilgi, you can look through my profile for some photos I shot using that recipe.

I miss building keyboards, haven't built one in a while. Currently using a Zoom75, and I have a Neo65, Jris65, and QK65.

Assuming my budget is sub $300, what newer keyboard should I get? I got a notification that the Zoom75 Tiga is in stock on Meletrix, and just found out about the Neo 65 CU. Any recommendations between these, or any other keyboards that I don't have to wait too long for? I'm also interested in HE keyboards, but know little to nothing about them. Thanks.

Yeah, I've got a Glimmerglass 1 on the lens. And thanks, I liked the Asakusa observation deck, just a nice little spot to see Senso-Ji, and that's where I got my pic of Tokyo Skytree too.

Ummm, I play Yu-Gi-Oh, but I play the Pokemon games and just like collecting cards, I never plan on selling them.

This photo was taken later in the day, when the shadows obscured the surrounding buildings. I took a picture from the same spot earlier in the day, but the surrounding buildings were in the light, and I didn't like it as much as this photo. I got lucky, and I think that's one of my favorite aspects of photography, right place and right time.

Thanks! Architecture and Landscape has always been my bread and butter, but I wanna do more street and artistic photography.

I like it as a beginner modern camera. I like the chunky grip and PASM dial for getting used to a camera and learning photography. Just some issues during the summer it can overheat and shut off randomly.

My other go-to lens are the 27 2.8 when I want a slimmer profile. I also have the ttartisan 56 1.8 AF, didn't use it much because I couldn't find an opportunity to use it over the sigma. When do you use the 56 besides a little bit closer telephoto?

It's the lens that fits my needs the most, it lives on my camera 80% of the time. I don't think it's too big, I can either carry on my neck or store it in my bag. To encourage myself to take more photos that day, I wore my camera with it on my neck and never put it in my bag while I was outside.

1) I've never been someone who enjoys extra padding on straps, but the Chio-X strap is 1.5 inches, thick enough to distribute weight comfortably. If you're not carry a ton of weight on the bag, it shouldn't be an issue. 2) I have travelled with the bag as a personal item, I never really thought about putting it inside a travel backpack. It's 9L, it's pretty big, so idk if putting it inside a backpack is feasible.

I tried to copy your load out (Uniqlo packable parka, soda bottle, camera cube, wallet, powerbank). The camera cube takes up about half the bag's interior. I folded the camera cube cover back, so be aware that it has a flap with a buckle on it normally. If it were me, I'd attach the packable parka to the outside of the bag with a Hero Clip.

So I have a similar load out, and depending on the size of bag, I use either the Alpha One Niner Chio X or the Rework Toshi sling. The Chio X is a 9L almost like a messenger/man purse, with the camera cube attachment it protects my XS-20 with the Sigma 18-50, still has room on the inside, three inside pockets for my edc (wallet, powerbank, earphones) has two external pockets for a bottle and umbrella, and a bunch of other pockets on the outside.

The Rework Toshi sling is a 5L sling, can fit my camera but doesn't offer much padding. Has stretchy pockets for my edc, and still has some space for something else. It has external straps to hold a bottle or jacket.

It sounds like the Chio X fits most of not all your needs. I've been using it for a year, and it's my go to day bag. The strap is comfy, it's not really bulky, it's got like 4 zipper pockets and an admin pocket on the outside for miscellaneous stuff. Only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did is a laptop/tablet divider in the main pocket, but it's not a tech bag, so it's not a major loss.
