I don't mind Kai, although I find some of his antics childish.... Fair enough when he first started out as it was different and mildly entertaining, but he's like 30 now, isn't he? Time to drop all that and deliver straight, informative content.

Dustin Abbott is Toby's (Snerkler) hero.... In fact I believe that they both get their lab coats laundered at the same dry cleaners....

Gordon Laing is pretty good too.

Crikey, you watch more than me!

Michael the Maven is good too.
I like David Oastler too, but I do wish that he would mix up his models a bit more... Kiara is working overtime!
Amar Talwal comes across as too moody for my liking. Too many if his videos are ranty.
Love Gavin Hoey though.

Yep David Oastler seems to be using Kiara in an awful lot of videos recently. She's a pretty girl but wish he'd mix it up a bit!

Watching that my first thoughts were what a shame all this is and also how strange it all is. These are grown men conducting a very public dummy spitting match but then I started to warm to Jason Laniers's point of view as these guys live in the public eye on the net and the angry guy is hurting Jason Lanier's business and potentially upsetting his family with the on line content and comments for his children to see. I'd have thought that Jason's best course would be to keep quiet and hand all this over to his legal team but I suppose considering the on line world these guys live in it's understandable that Jason has responded on line in this way

WOOOAH, what an A hole. This must be very upsetting for JL and his family.

No wonder u don't have time to actually take photos :D:ROFLMAO:
 
Have to say, the A9 is the most perfect play rehearsal camera to ever grace the earth.

Just finished processing another play rehearsal, I volunteered to do this one - and unfortunately only half their set was finished.

Started off with a 24-70, but when i was on stage with them during the dance routines - got out the 16-35 - lots of fun!

Usable silent shutter for action - I love it :D

The Sigma Art glass will be good, the adapted 35mm f1.4 in Canon mount was pretty good.
Personally if I was buying another fast f1.4 I’d probably go for the Sigma.
I’m possibly most interested in the 24mm actually, its become a more and more important focal length to me but a prime is always much better than the wide end of the zoom lenses, that and it looks like my zoom is going to be the Tammy 28-75 which of course doesn’t have a 24mm end!

OK just watched this, and it's just sad. I don't think either party come out looking well, but if he has cooked this up then Ken is a first class *******. But I don't think that making this video puts Jason in a particularly good light either. If he wants to sue Ken for Liable then do it the right way, don't make a 26 minute video threatening someone and going over the same thing time and time again .

I understand the video response. JL’s business is generated mainly via YouTube and this video will get shed loads of views which means more money to him. It’s all good publicity.

ah but how do you all know if they both haven't cooked it up together for good publicity and clicks :D
 
I bit the bullet this afternoon and bought the A7Riii and the GM 100-400 from Jessops. The salesman went the extra mile for me and gave me top price for my 1DX and did some tweaking elsewhere so I'm happy price wise especially with Sony cash backs.
I had looked at grey market prices and of course I would have saved money but I decided I was happier dealing with a shop.

I tried both the A9 and the A7Riii to gauge handling and tried both with my existing Sigma 150-600. The Sigma performed surprisingly well with the Sigma MC11 converter but there was a noticeable slow down in AF. After thinking long and hard I decided that the A7Riii gave me adequate speed and excellent IQ. Any bird photographer will say that you can never get close enough but at least I'll be able to put more pixels on the birdy! They didn't have the Sony 1.4x TC on their books at all so I'll have to source that elsewhere.

I see your point, but he could have done it better imo. The conspiracy theorist in me likes nandbytes theory ;)

DPR has a bit on the Meike 50mm f1.7 FE mount manual focus lens...

https://www.dpreview.com/news/60215...full-frame-sony-edition-of-its-50mm-f1-7-lens

I do fancy giving this a try but ideally I'd like a similar 35mm and I'd also like to see a couple of others such as an 85mm and a 20, 24 or 28mm. They might actually get round to some of these but looking at their site they do seem to have a bit of a scatter gun approach. Time will tell.
