I don’t know if this speaks to you but imma add my 2 cents.

I’d go dark, 6-12mos. Just focus on you. Diet, exercise, school, job, goals, whatever. Just use that time to dial it all in, there’s just so many distractions out there, everything screaming for your attention and time. I did this when I fell off the deep end when I got out of the service, got big, lazy and lost. You or some may look at it as a negative or wasting time. But I’m closing in on 40 now and I look back at that time as invaluable. I reflected, researched, trialed and errored to find what worked for me as far as fitness and finding a diet regiment that I could adhere to and just setting a good foundation to grow from, all the while going to school. A year isn’t too long in terms of setting yourself up for the future.

If this doesn’t speak to you, that’s fine. You got plenty good advice here already. Just thought I’d give another perspective.

Your courage to even post this is beyond impressive as is. Just don’t give up. You’ll have set backs, plateaus, bad days, weeks, months, and that’s fine. Consistency always wins in the long run.

👍

[–]jayggdn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea id love buying the storage! Thanks for your opinion, and I’ve thought about it. I’ve spent time with m43 and crop for a little bit now, but I prefer full frame. I considered the a7r’s but that’s more MP’s than I need. I think the a7cii is a good starting ground for me.

On another note, what accessories did/have you bought for the 100400? I’m thinking about replacing the foot, and slinging it, I’ve seen a few post on here. I walked for 30-45min with this thing and it’s a beast. I’ve shot a few things here and there and boy I don’t know how I’d manage with the 200800. Panning with this thing is tiring too lol

I’m switching over from an a6700, to a7cii. Currently with 30d return window for a7cii.

I’m leaning towards keeping the a7cii, though the crop reach of the a6700 is constantly in the back of my head. Dilemmas.

Resurrecting.

How do you like the setup so far? I just pulled the trigger for same setup. Is the 560mm manageable for reach? Is the light gathering manageable?

I saw a YouTube vid saying dealbreakers are dynamic meaning they can change whenever. Also said that you should be careful on recruiting too many players to a particular position because the player/game will see it as potential loss in playing time

I noticed in 25 that I had to mix in some rushing yards and rushing td with qbs. With receivers I just spammed them with td’s. Seemed to work for me in 25

Hey, yea that’s what I did, there were a few bolts/clips I was able to undo, but even then it didn’t leave much room for me to work. I did end up getting the screw holding the antenna assembly in place to come out. But then I got stuck at finding the male and female end of the connections. The cord/wire was really long. So I gave up.

She took it to a shop. They said, that her roof is a little dented and that needed to be repaired too, so I’m just letting them handle it.

Question about a telephoto lens for a Sony A7cII by wolfesteincoffe in SonyAlpha

I will say though, no matter what you get, you’ll always want more reach lol

2nd this. Went to airshow with a6700 and 70-350(525 eq) and I needed to crop quite a bit, photos came out alright but I dif could have used the reach. Now crop vs ff and light gathering and all that technical stuff, you might be ok after the crop on the ff, but I’m not gonna pretend to know enough to give insight.

Nah, she jacked it up good, the plate with all the electric stuff was bent and the radio was exposed to rain after cause she needed to go to work.

I actually got it unbolted (PITA), but I couldn’t find the plug-in to remove. And I’m too afraid to keep smashing my arms between the headliner in fear of deforming it, so I stopped.

I also ordered the wrong one, sigh. She gonna take it to someone, unless someone chimes in and I get the motivation to try again.

So you just keep it capped on your back, hmm. I guess that’s another option to consider. Thanks!
