It always depends.... in my case, I am still almost entirely using EF lenses. And that's for paid work. Many of my EF lenses perform better with the RF-to-EF adapter on mirrorless bodies than on DLSR bodies, thanks to improved AF. But there may be a special RF lens that you want that did not...

Took the opportunity to go to the "ICE" event in St Moritz for the first time. There is a series of events on the frozen lake there each year. I've had assignments for the polo and horse racing in the past, but I have never been to see the cars before.

finally caved in on the gfx 55 1.7 after looking for a couple of years :)

Something very similar caught me out with the 3135 movement. I've ordered a set of tiny screw drivers, and the parts are sitting in the box until those arrive. This is a game of patience :)

I'm up to 20-odd with styles and color combinations for all eventualities and like you I don't know if I can part with any of them.

oops built another one.... build time down to 20 minutes..... I think that's the last one for me, apart from the carbon fibre submariner, which needs some microscopic tools for the rolex 3135 movement inside that I'm waiting for, moving onto to orders from family and friends :)

https://www.incabloc.ch/en/history/ sounds like an important part of watch history, yes please keep it!

Do you still have that? I recently inherited my Dad's Smiths watch from the 1950s and am enjoying wearing that too. I'd like to "clean" the Smith's dial, but digging into it, dial cleaning isn't really feasible as it's not really dirt, it's degradation that goes through the varnish, print and...

What sort of photos do you want to take? That should determine the choice, no? I'd go for the full-frame for the best IQ and add a flash for family pics, too.

I have seen this implemented for example, here https://photo.vogelwarte.ch/en/rules/#conditions-of-participation, where the goal is for natural-looking images and unprocessed original files are requested for selected images.

Here are this week's builds: 6G9A5680 by Tim Hughes, on Flickr 6G9A5686 by Tim Hughes, on Flickr two more left to go and then onto requests from friends :)

Partially, yes :) Grammarly helps me write.

PS I came across an incredible use case for AI yesterday to fix tricky green screen problems. This has always been a PITA when filming people with fine hair, lots of motion blur or semitransparent situations. A small team has created a solution that they have made freely available on github...

From my point of view, AI is just another tool, albeit a very powerful one. I’ve worked with automation and analytics for years, so I’m quite comfortable with it, and for me the same rule applies as with any automation, i.e. test it, review and amend as needed, and above all own the output. For...

I get about 2700/2800 mb/s using WD black with ACASIS enclosure and TB4
