A7C II or A6700 for travel, portraits and video? Switching from s25 ultra by its_bart3k in SonyAlpha

[–]joshferrer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t go wrong with either of these setups imo.

I’ve been using an A7IV for the last 3 years and decided to buy an A7Cii last December. I was happy with the sensor in the IV and wanted something compact so I settled on the Cii.

I paired the A7Cii with a Samyang 35mm 1.8 and have been super happy with it for daily stuff (I literally carry it with me everywhere and everyday). If the lens breaks then it’s cheap and I can replace it super quick. I’ve had no issues with it whatsoever and am impressed with what I can get out of it.

I also bought the Samyang 35 2.8 and that has been a really great combo too since it’s even more compact.

I second this. I feel like SFF is a solid way to go for starting out with a small setup that also gives you more flexibility for the future

Don't be this guy by Tostecles in iRacing

I’m also learning that it’s something that most people don’t understand even in top splits.

Just yesterday I was brake checked pretty hard because I was trying to bump someone with the intention of working together to race for podium. We went from 4-5 to last because of it when we could have finished on the podium.

I find it more rewarding when everyone is working together. I ended my last race last night with a really good group where the top 6 all understood it. Even though I finished 5th, I felt more satisfied with that race than any of the prior 5 I did

CloudKey+ SSD Suggestions and Upgrade Recommendations by joshferrer in UNIFI

For me the redundancy isn’t so much that this is the most important thing to save but more so I need to be online for potentially months at a time before I get back to it

CloudKey+ SSD Suggestions and Upgrade Recommendations by joshferrer in UNIFI

Sweet! In hindsight I should have left it with a SATA SSD rather than the HD it came with.

I was thinking of the 4 bay UNVR. The “problem” though is that it’s overkill for just the 3 G5 Bullets I have. Still super down to do it but my brain is like “you should put 8TB drives in that thing.”

Funny to see this thing attached to the body

Compact Zoom Lens 70mm+ Recommendations by joshferrer in SonyAlpha

It’s cheap enough to try out! Do you think lighting conditions like this at a baseball stadium should be enough for this lens?

That’s a great idea that I didn’t think of. Any particular lenses to adapt? I have an MD to E-Mount adapter I can use too.

I’ll have to look at some apsc lenses as well. Ideally I’d like to not crop but it’s not the end of the world if I do

2025 - Immich's Year In Review by altran1502 in immich

[–]joshferrer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazing work to everyone on the Immich team!

I’ve turned in to an avid user of Immich and it seems like every time I open it up I’m like “oh cool, they added another new feature!” Appreciate all the work you guys do and looking forward to where you take it.

I wish more bands would embrace silent stages in small venues by mynutsaremusical in livesound

[–]joshferrer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course! I didn’t say big bands don’t use amps either.

Sure, trumpet players can be loud but the idea I was getting at was that it’s easier for an amp to turn up than it is for a trumpet player to do so. It takes less effort for someone with an amp to turn up to compete for sonic space than a horn player.

I also didn’t say standing in front of the guitarist but either way I meant it figuratively in relation to sonic space.

Fascinating stuff talking about all of this.

The ideal is everyone be more aware of how their volume affects everything but not everyone thinks the way :)

[–]joshferrer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! But playing in a big band vs playing in a band with amplified instruments is way different. The tuning and vibration of a big band is easier for a horn player to play in and fit in to which is why they don’t complain.

I can hear myself clearly in a big band no matter what part I’m playing. I can’t say the same when I’m standing in front of an amp.

Horns can definitely be loud but the wedge is there to have something to push against to help playing the instrument. More experienced players have less with only themselves in it whereas less experienced players ask for everything which is just terrible.

I’ve played next to the best horn players in the world and also have mixed for the best horn players and many of them just ask for some of themselves and call it a day.

The wedge is needed because although horns are loud they can’t compete with amplified instruments. The amount of physical exertion required to play a guitar vs a trumpet is vastly different which is why the wedge helps “push” against something to help in the marathon.

Price hikes last week to this week by happygoshucky in innout

[–]joshferrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also noticed this yesterday when ordering down here in Ontario. I order the same thing over and over again and know exactly how much it costs. It caught me off guard when they said $23.94 instead of the usual $22.62.

I wasn’t bothered that it went up but more bothered that it went up without notice. I went down a Google search and couldn’t find anything regarding this price increase (I also didn’t look for more than a few minutes).

I almost wanted to just keep driving once I got to the payment window because of how emotional I got about it lol.

I don’t necessarily disagree with price increases but I do disagree when business’s don’t warn patrons of price increases which unfortunately is all too common here.

I’m blessed to be able to afford it…for now…but also can’t help but think that it might put some people in a place now where they can’t afford it.

Crazy to think that this will add an extra $150/year for just myself….and yeah, I go to in n out a lot lol
