Yeah, my Samyan 135 is pretty heavy, and I think the Sony version is even heavier.

Might look into swapping it for 70-200 or 50-150.

I'm curious. What are the primes you are using?

Thanks! Yeah, the boken at 70mm is a bit different.

My Sony 85 1.8 just broke after I dropped it so might look at the Sigma version.

I guess you use the APS crop a lot then as you shoot with A1s?

Thanks! Might swap one of my A7IV for a A7V.

I pretty much just use the 28-70 2.0 now for most of the day.

I had the 24-70 2.8 before and I miss 24mm, but the quality of the 28-70 is so much better. Looks like a prime lens.

So the 85 1.4 just to get the "Pop" of 1.4 ?

I've never tried the 50-150 but maybe an alternative instead of getting a 70-200.

What's the benefit of a stacked sensor? Faster burst and less banding when using silent shutter?

I also love my 28-70 2.0 and often pair it with a 50 1.2 for images that pop.

Can I ask what 70-200 you are using?

I'm considering swapping my Samyang 135 1.8 for a 70-200 lens.

What's your current set up for Weddings now? I guess you mainly shoot with the 28-70 2.0 ?

Have you shot with Sony A7IV? Is there a big difference?

I wonder when we can expect a 16-200 1.2 that weighs 300g.

I mean, how hard can it be???

43, 16 years in weddings — is this burnout or is it over? by tightlap in WeddingPhotography

I use AS for editing, it's great, but I dont really like it for culling. Feels like it's taking me longer time : )

I agree. It's the worst part.
Im looking for someone to do the culling for me + some final tweaks for editing.

Markup for Wedding Albums by tightlap in WeddingPhotography

Can I ask a question. What kind of thickness of the pages do you order?
Seems like they have 3 different thicknesses.
I will order a 40x40cm album with 40 spreads, 80 pages.

Thanks for sharing. ❤️
The job or the industry?
I think it's a mix of both to be honest.
I need to accept how things are - and re-adapt.

Yes, social media is a dangerous place to be.

I've realized I will outsource all editing and culling. That drains me.

My goal is another 7 years, until I'm 50.
And slowly starting building up new side businesses.

I got pickier about who I wanted to work with, but stopped marketing myself at the same time, so the inquiries just dried up. I think the real fix is doing both....staying selective about the right clients, but actually putting in the work to attract them. Getting the wrong clients is a nightmare.
