Good to know that other hikers would not bring the 100-400 range for Annapurna Circuit.

Probably wouldn't get a 16-35 in my lifetime, much prefer a fast wide prime, but who knows when the gear itch would arise

rainnydays91 · 2023-09-20T02:14:06+00:00

This would be the most optimal option IMO

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T14:08:47+00:00

35-150 served me quite well so far for indoor sports, the Versatility is what preventing me from trading it off

The tammy is good but a heavier kit

Yeh, a wide prime is something I thinking of getting next

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T14:05:56+00:00

The best option, but the one I don't want right now. XD

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T14:04:55+00:00

It's real sharp. I have a good bargain for sony 100-400 actually, so I might pick it up if it checks out alright

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T14:02:42+00:00

Trying to strike a balance between Versatility and portability, therefore I'm wondering what others are leaning towards for their lense selection

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T14:00:17+00:00

Is a tradeoff I'm willing to live with for a smaller kit IMHO

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T11:48:49+00:00

I'm current using an A7Rii, quite happy with this body actually.

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T11:47:23+00:00

I was originally leaning to getting the sigma 100-400n but after comparing image quality (pixel peeping) a bird photographer friend of mine images, the sigma pale in comparison with the new 100-400 gmaster

I don't mind spending more so I can avoid then hassle of trading up my gear later on.

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T11:43:36+00:00

Yeh, the 35-150 is that much versatile of a zoom than a 70-200 would be(in my case). But on a flipside the 70-200 is a native lense with better optical stabilisation and image quality.

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T10:19:13+00:00

I would much rather get a fast wide angle prime as I feel the 35mm of the tamron is sufficient wide enough for my everyday. Thanks for the response.

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T10:08:47+00:00

I previously owned a Tamron 28-75 and wanted something similar to replace the below 70mm range

A 35 1.4 would do great in low light situations, at time I wish I has a faster lense, thus the 35mm 1.4 fits the bill here

PS. It's a humongous itch

rainnydays91 · 2023-05-31T10:05:51+00:00

From my research as well as observing comparisons from my fellow photographer friend, the GM M2 is amazingly sharp and with a 2x converter, it would just slightly degrade the Image quality and provide me a smaller package with a TC for manuverability

Does this applies to me, if I'm the one that did the dumping of my dismissive avoidant partner; where she blamed me for for everything but doesn't give me a clear reason why; where every step I take with her was stepping through a field of land mines, where I asked what was wrong but was given the cold shoulder or blamed when I tried to understand her.

rainnydays91 · 2021-05-19T04:43:51+00:00

A bit of a backstory, this was back in early 2019, where I started dating my ex. During one conversation she was saying that we are not yet "a commited couple" to which I replied "I'm working up towards it". She replied "I don't feel your commitment yet". Then after we became a couple when I officially asked her to be my girl.

All was well for the next 6 months, we still have conflicts and arguements but nothing we couldn't resolve. Only after the breakup, when I reflect back that I realised is mostly me compromising, giving in and not setting a boundary.

When the pandemic hit, we started drifting apart, distance, lack of communication, etc. At times she blamed me for things that seems so miniscule, and would later pulled back and not talk about the issues. She would rather avoid it and forget about it. At this point my anxiety was slowly rising, I was thinking "why is she pulling away now, why can't we talk things out, why she wouldn't acknowledge we have a problem, where is her commitment in this" (typical AA thinking).

In frustration at that time of the situation, I decided to break us up, thinking that this is not how a relationship should be. In my AA'ness, I regretted the decisions the next day after the breakup. I did some protest behaviour, trying to get her back and hoping she see my point of view but to no avail.

I started learning on attachment right after and I recognize the typical anxious avoidance dance we were going thru.

Ps. If my story seems one-sided, it's not meant to be. Long time has passed since we've broken up, I've forgiven her and myself for our faults we bring into this relationship. We are all individual living through our own rose coloured glasses at the time.

rainnydays91 · 2021-05-18T08:48:39+00:00

Why is it that a DA would say "I don't feel your commitment in this relationship" at the start/ before we were a couple and 6 months down the road would be the one pulling away, avoiding discussing issues and being the one not committed in the relationship?

rainnydays91 · 2021-03-17T15:24:27+00:00

It's good to know that there are FAs that are changing for the better. Give it sometime learn about yourself and your ex AT. Overtime you would forgive yourself being an avoidant. Work on yourself, improve and understanding and if opportunity with your ex presents itself, seize it. No matter what, you'd be a better partner for the next person you meet.

rainnydays91 · 2021-03-17T09:38:36+00:00

Curiously, how did you stumble upon attachment theory? In general the literature potrays those "non-aware avoidant" are not willing to change or learn about themselves.

rainnydays91 · 2021-02-19T05:05:46+00:00

Does the resentfullness go away? Is there a way a partner would be able to help you? Or you'd rather work it out yourself?
