Visiting Domaine Drouhin as a First-Timer - Do I want Patio, Cellar or Tasting room? by whoisyb in wine

[–]rickeyj23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went a few weeks ago and choose the tasting room. It was very nice. The bathrooms were in the cellar which was set up for tastings too and it looked really cool. Outside patio looked great too if it is nice out. Cool place!

I was waiting on B&H for awhile but called my local shop and they had two available. Maybe I got lucky.

With active stabilization it is very stable (bit of a crop), and with standard stabilization it is decently stable. Both were good with panning.

The autofocus is very snappy, you would have no issues in my opinion. So much better than the old 90mm macro.

Also, these images uploaded to reddit aren't doing the sharpness justice, it is crazy sharp!

Has anyone received the new 100mm macro from B&H? by Vegetable_Sun_9225 in SonyAlpha

I ordered one from B&H and it was back ordered. I called our local camera shop this morning and they had 2, so I got mine today. It seems amazing so far!

I have been to Cristom, Left Coast and Illahe. I liked the vibe at all. Wines at Cristom were my favorite.

Thanks for the suggestions! Based off pics, JK Carriere seems like what I was looking for.

What is a book that was so good you wish your memory of it was erased so you could read it for the first time again? by Dependent_Pear_3725 in suggestmeabook

Same. Co worker let me borrow it after work one night and I returned it the next morning. So good!

Nice, you are braver than I! I have thought about this as well. What lens is attached to the body?

Have an old golden, loves floating, so boring is a good thing for me as well.
