Check when Bristol are getting them in - they’re £55 odd there
Can preorder them too
I was going to switch my order, but then they added £10 delivery charge, still a little better - but lost my momentum

I just got a battery and charger delivered today and got the very same voucher in the post!!!
I don’t need anymore, I have 3 now.
That’s like £200 in chargers and batteries I’ve spent, people have cameras costing less...

You could use it for another FE lens or pass on the voucher code?
Same code as Dan posted.

Ahhh I think these codes are linked to user accounts, tried Dan's and it didn't work.
They must activate it on their end for certain people who spend x amount of money at WEX etc.
i'm going to do something called 'shakefest' where school kids put on back to back performances of Shakespeare plays over the course of about 8+ hours
should be ok with four as long as I can charge two, just in case.
Not sure how it will compare to a wedding, four will do a wedding.

Don’t only FE lens I want is £1300 and I’m wiped out this month, putting it on the credit card is not wise when the interest for that amount will be more than £20.

Get a usb powered charger and power it via a power bank, charge it anywhere then.
i've just been paid, it's burning a hole in my bank..

But what other lenses haven't you got?
My mental list a the moment...
105mm 1.4 FE
400mm 2.8 FE
Better Tripod
Filters
PC Upgrade
the PC upgrade is probably the most difficult to resist...

You should really always have your main software and files on the main drive, preferably SSD (I can't cope with HDD
)

I have two internal drives both SSD - neither have room for photo imports and catalog
sighas I scroll my wheel to go from one image to a next, it quickly shows me 6-7 in quick succession then pauses whilst the external usb hdd gets more

How much space does your catalog take?I have two internal drives both SSD - neither have room for photo imports and catalog
How much space does your catalog take?
200gb currently. i should probably split it into multiple catalogs now
a full RAW import could be 256GB (unlikely will be) but 2 x 128GB cards

Not on 1.1 previews enabled and built. Ssd Is too expensive to use for RAWSEverything will be sooooo slow
i'd use it for import, then move it to external after - I want everything instant, I cannot wait a second for an image - I need to scroll 10 images in a second.

Why is it so big? My LR catalogue is just over a GB, then a further 20GB taken up with previews. I set it so that previews are deleted after 30 days, if I ever want to go back and edit I can just rebuild the previews then.
I have my working files on the SSD then offload the old RAWs onto external drives. With what you spend on gear I'm sure you can afford an SSD
Actually my last import is now instant, don't know why it took so long to reach this performance. I started cycling them straight after the import before and it was choppy

mine is set to discard 1:1 after 30 days, my only issue with getting an SSD is there's no where to mount it

You took an average of 30 photos per hour 24x7 for the last 30 days....that's a seriously itchy trigger finger! How many photos of your dog do you actually need

Funny you should say that... i'm optimizing the catalog at the moment.... out of 280 photos not sure i'll have one that I care to keep.... ( I need to make sure they work in 1:1 square format for Louise's Instagram)
I was trying to provoke her into a run, as I ran ahead of her, bending over with the camera held low to the ground, shooting 35mm

What's the size of the actual catalogue, and what't the size of the file relating to your previews?
the actualy catalog is 2.5gb and the preview files are 184GB
although i told it delete 1:1 after a day, still hasn't shrunk the catalog preview size at all..
