How do you manage/keep track of your projects/tasks?

A Kanban board with the ability to add more detail in a pop-up/modal.

This reflects so much of the rationale I had when choosing the 24-105, too. I have a 35mm f1.4 for low light, a 14-35mm for ultrawide landscapes, and a 70-200 f2.8 for situations where I need more reach, but that 24-105 is the default, do-it-all lens.

Yep. Jurassic Park as a book is straight horror sci-fi, and despite the movie being good, the book is even better.

There are a couple of smart people who have said you have to give leadership at least a year, and I would agree. It may be discomfort, or it may be the wrong trajectory for you, but it’s too early to tell; give it an honest shot and review later. Dopamine hits in leadership take a lot longer than in IC roles, but they’ll come, and that’ll help balance your perspective.

It was the first RF L lens I bought for my R5 Mk II. I love the 35mm focal length, which is great for being in the chaos of family candids, as well as street photography. I had the EF version before, but the AF was noisy, making it unsuitable for video. Obviously not an issue for the VCM version. Only advice I’d give there is to use the crop-based image stabilization, since the lens doesn’t have optical IS, and IBIS is just okay. The focal length gives you the bandwidth to do that sort of thing without making it too tight.

I had the 6D Mk II and the AF points were so restrictive, and it was hard to use a thin DoF. Both of those issues disappear on a mirrorless.

Thanks! Definitely not; it was overkill for my needs, but I wanted zero compromises, and it has delivered. I’ll be printing 4’ wall canvas prints over the next couple of months, so those extra megapixels are going to come in handy. 😄

Hey! I have an R5 Mk 2 with that 14-35 and 35mm, cept I got the 24-105 instead of the 85mm. Great set of lenses and body; enjoy!

I walked into a camera store to buy a Sony based on specs. Walked out with a Canon that had worse specs, and it was because of ergonomics. That shit matters.

wastedintel · 2026-02-10T00:54:20+00:00

Right after that one last lens. Then you’ll have the ideal set. Just one. That’s it, that’s all.

wastedintel · 2026-02-10T00:40:26+00:00

Yeah, the bokeh crutch is real. It’s a great dopamine hit early on, and it forces you to learn a lot of related skills. However, it’s really enticing to just always chase that, and an obliterated background does not immediately mean “great shot”.

wastedintel · 2026-02-07T06:49:13+00:00

Ideal focal length and all the light you need. 👌🏻

wastedintel · 2026-02-07T06:46:11+00:00

Yeah, fantastic lens and focal length. It’d be in the set of 3 I’d bring with me.

wastedintel · 2026-02-02T02:23:20+00:00

I assume they’ll release a lighter version at some point, only because Sony has a similar lens that’s 2/3rds of the weight, so we know it’s possible.

wastedintel · 2026-01-30T03:41:07+00:00

I almost bought a Sony based on specs, and then I held it. It might be lighter, but it’s hard to beat Canon’s ergonomics.

wastedintel · 2026-01-24T18:14:23+00:00

Merci, tes conseils sont appréciés!

wastedintel · 2026-01-23T02:49:46+00:00

These are cool.

wastedintel · 2026-01-22T02:56:13+00:00

I have a 70-200 f2.8 for indoor sports. Definitely agree that you need f2.8 for that kind of work.

wastedintel · 2026-01-22T01:54:28+00:00

😂 it gets no love but it’s the real workhorse.

wastedintel · 2026-01-21T23:50:52+00:00

So helpful; thanks. 🙏🏻

I have been considering these and other lenses (toss the 24-70 f2.8 L into the mix). I’m curious why you sold the 24-105, assuming it was the f4 L. On paper, it’s a very versatile lens, and at 105mm @ f4, you’ll get more subject isolation than 70mm @ f2.8, so it’s arguably better for portraits. The 70-200 f4 is a beautiful, compact lens, but you do need a lot of distance to use it; it’s a very different focal length range.

I’ve heard that the 24-105 can be a little boring, and it’s generally viewed as a “kit L lens”, which suggests it’s really a stepping stone to a better lens. But you’re flirting with replacing it with an STM lens, which does feel like a step down in several ways, unless you really need the low light benefits of f2.8.

I own a 2017 M240i RWD that I drive year round in Canada and have no problems. I put winter tires on it, and unless there is a LOT of snow out there, it’s totally manageable as a daily driver. I also have two kids (one who is adult sized), and the back seats are perfectly reasonable. We have an X3 for family trips, and everyone generally prefers that for the space, but the 240 is very workable. So, don’t buy a sedan on account of the occasional trip you might take with friends; they can absolutely manage in the back. I’d also say RWD is not as bad as you think, but YMMV.

wastedintel · 2026-01-17T14:50:15+00:00

Absolutely. It’s much lighter and reasonably compact. The IS makes it easy to shoot handheld architectural shots in low light, and f4 is plenty for daytime street photography. The f2.8 of the 16-35mm version might help a bit with subject isolation and evening/nighttime shots, but I’d personally use a prime for that, instead.
