I can definitely see the temptation! Don't Sony have some monster MP count sensor on the way though? Not quite the same thing I know.

Ordered a Samyang 14-24mm from Cotswold on the 29th Jan, was just delivered. All good!

I hadn't picked up my camera (m43) for about a decade. Decided I quite fancied getting back into it... Since then I've done one photography session and bought an A7RIIIa, Laowa 10mm f2.8, Samyang 14-24mm f2.8, Laowa 100mm macro, a new bag, two new tripods, new filters and am now looking at...

Just tried the K&F Nano-X ND32-512 in 77mm. Advertised as having no 'black X' but there was massive horizontal dark banding on my 14mm FF so it's going straight back and I've just ordered a 3,6,10 set from Haida instead.

Nice, how are finding it? I've just had the Nano-X 32-512 delivered, haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Aurora just teased tonight here in Cornwall, far off to the north and barely visible to the naked eye.

So took my new (to me) A7RIII out on a whim for it's first spin after dark this evening. I'd had two glasses of wine but was itching to use it, so walked a mile or so down to some rocks overlooking Falmouth Bay. Turns out trying to learn a new camera in the pitch black while mildly sozzled isn't...

It did seem remarkably cheap so I jumped on it. There's a little paint wear around the edges, the eyecup could do with replacing and the shutter has done 118k. So it's had plenty of use, but seems fully functional, buttons all work, screen, viewfinder and sensor all look good.

Whoop! After probably a decade away I'm back in the photography game. A pretty-well-used-but-at-first-glance-actually-not-that-bad A7R IIIa for the princely sum of £430 from Park Cameras. Now I just need some glass. Oh and a new tripod. And bag. And filters. And sd cards. And.... Ah damnit I'd...

My new Apistogramma hoignei :)

Thread from the dead! Here's my current tank -

Spec looks fine but I'd definitely look to add a SSD as the primary hard drive. While they don't make a massive difference in Lightroom they do make boot and load times dramatically faster, especially with slow-to-load programmes such as LR or PS. They'll make the whole system feel much faster...
