I went to FoS last year, it was not as good for photography as in the past - the bales are thicker/higher and there are more people. Although the rally stage at the top of the hill was still good. Fuji do a good "try before you buy" rental scheme for bodies and lenses. I had the 23f2 when I...

I have M1 Pro and M4 Pro MBPs (personal and work) and the M1 Pro does feel a bit sluggish now. However, RAM/fast storage are still going to be more important than processor.

Me too. I took it ages ago and though "there's loads of the month left", now it is February. Doh.

You can shoot raw and apply the simulations in post. The only time that I change the simulation on the camera is if I'm shooting B&W, I switch to Acros. I would probably go for Provia, Acros and Nostalgic Neg as my main simulations. but in reality I never use the jpegs.

How is it February already?

No, I had a 2ft x 3ft photo on my wall for years that was taken on a 2MP camera - obviously that is at the extreme end, but I think 24MP is the sweet spot for me. I'd rather have the speed than the resolution. Even the Canon R1 is only 24MP. If the X-H2 was the same speed as the X-H2s, I'd still...

I was in a similar position a couple of years back, and ended up going for the X-H2s - if there had been an X-T5s, i.e. an X-T5 with the stacked 26MP sensor it would have been a tougher decision. I also have an X-T2, so am used to the X-T bodies/handling. I was expecting not to like the...

50-140 is my go to for sports photography, but I think it would be too short for aviation. I'm looking to add either a 100-400 or 150-600.

For downsizing Fuji is a good bet - mainly as the lenses are smaller. They have good quality lenses designed for the smaller sensor size. A slightly smaller FF body, with a few suitable lenses isn't going to be much smaller than a DSLR set up.

My understanding is that you can use the DAM part of Lightroom, without the ongoing subscription. Or there is Adobe Bridge, which is similar, but free.

Sunrise by Lewis Craik, on Flickr I got out for a sunrise walk from home this morning. Light was good, scenery wasn't anything special - still good to get out though.

Took my X-H2s for a walk this morning, these are a few of my favourites: LRCX6307 by Lewis Craik, on Flickr LRCX6309 by Lewis Craik, on Flickr LRCX6310 by Lewis Craik, on Flickr

I've been out with my 35mm on the Fuji today getting my eye in...

I also subscribe to to the 3 copies, one off site theory. I run a NAS locally, which backs itself up to the cloud overnight and I run another copy weekly on another hard drive which is kept in a detached outhouse.

As above, mojo comes and goes. I've had a bad year for photography, but that is because it has been a good year in other parts of my life.
