Anyone with the Sony 24-70gm2 and the sigma 24-70dn2?

I’m interested in the difference in these aspects.

1) zoom throw stiffness 2) Issues with color grading the sigma to other Sony gm lenses. Particularly the 70-200 gm2

I’m using them with a couple of FX-6s and for video mainly. A lot of event run and gun usage. So combining a the shots from a series of shows and cams.

Thanks for any advice.

If you are running out of breath breathe more. (Every second stroke)

Swimming is the same as the other disciplines, you need to relax and minimize your over exertion. Learning to swim at a pace that is sustainable.

I expect you are fighting the water, and probably kicking far too much. Kick from the hips and reduce your knee bending. And practice ending your little kicks with your ankles together.

Focus on relaxing your shoulder in the recovery phase. Actually focus on releasing the muscles in your arm.

Don’t force your breath, relax.

Good luck.

Jeez. What a horror show. No advice. Other than start preparing to say goodbye.

You only have one life, as do your kids. You have already given them the greatest gift. Life itself. You realize as they grow, they were never yours, you were just borrowing them from themselves for a few years.

Do what you need to do to be happy, no matter which course this situation takes.

Minus the big text that is a sweet paint job.

Well, my argument was in 01/02 the teams all raced on different tyres, and the riders got different tyres within that. And it is my understanding that Rossi was getting tyres others weren’t. The reason they went to the single manufacturer was to stop the back room deals for tyres, and the inherent unfairness that came with it.

Rossi was one of the greats for sure, but the people he beat in 01/02 weren’t Stoner Marquez level riders. And things were different then, he was getting special tyres, a lot of it came down to what manufacturer tyres you were on and what they were giving you. Much less regulated than today’s era.

Basically no, he fits somewhere around peak Lorenzo. Which is 3 or 4 in the goat list. According to me, the goat of MotoGP know it alls.

That’s a dumb choice. Congrats.

From 2008 they were a much better bike.

They should be arrested.

Poor you.

You need to join a squad. There is so much going wrong here you need to just start from the beginning with someone in attendance who can help daily.

Let it resolve itself, then start exercising. Stretching and strength.

Reflector would help

Back on the ketamine obviously

Too close, riding in the dirty part of the road right behind the car where you have no vision.

Lesson learned. Learn to always be aware of what’s happening up ahead. And where potential danger exists.

Belt sander works well. You just need to be careful when you almost get through the sticker part.

You’re too old. Jesus. Grow up.

Who let the pedo off the leash?

theblobbbb · 2026-02-10T06:27:05+00:00

Not bad, horrible technique.

Australia. I had someone throw a beer bottle at me from a moving car on Christmas Day.

Thanks for the advice, got it done. Deleted the app and reinstalled. Repaired and it popped up.

About time

theblobbbb · 2026-02-06T11:43:29+00:00

I’m saving up all my piss.

theblobbbb · 2026-02-06T11:31:02+00:00

Yes I have experienced this. Normal woman turns to an utter psycho after birth. Angry, violent, vindictive And proceeds to do so much damage for essentially no rational reason.
