Mark that's a decent Kit you have there, may you have many hours of enjoyment looking for the Stars or whatever is out there.
And BTW you phone cam takes a decent image too.
I shoot with Olympus Cameras.. Sometimes Canon and My iPhone SE 2020
Just got myself a Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V arrived yesterday just gotta go and pick it up from my old work shop, the minister of finance doesn’t know about it yet.
I put in a ridiculous bid on eBay not expecting to win it but the finish time was at midnight so I got up and waited till a few seconds before the close and to my surprise I got it.
I only got it for the 960 FPS frame rate for slow motion videos.
Hopefully I can do some slomo water drop videos with it.

That slo-mo: at "...1920 x 1080 @ 120p / 60 Mbps, XAVC S, MP4, H.264, Linear PCM..."
it's impressificative. Basically, 1/4 speed.

CC, Image editing OK.
Yeah hopefully it will produce good results, I’ve seen some slomo vids using a phone at 960 fps so here’s hoping.Originally Posted by ameerat42

My Daughter said to me the week before last week Mum how about a Girly day out at the shops as you have not been out for Months.
Ok I said and she picked me up at 9.30am and took us to one of the bigger Shopping Centres I was surprised at how empty it was.
Still we had a great time and I picked up my Christmas Present from Tony got a good deal as it was on Sale.
I did not want the latest model as I had researched late last year and decided on the Samsung Portable SSD T5 and got the 1TB size.
Have to love the end of EOFY Sales so many bargains out there especially this year.
Though I feel so sorry for the people that have lost their jobs and the Businesses that had to shut down.
Almost 18 months since I have bought any Lenses and I had saved up more than enough in that time for what I was after.
After researching for many days decided on getting them from a Brick and Mortar Store in another State.
Actually it was where I bought my first camera a Box Brownie in 1960. I ordered them Sunday night and they were delivered on Thursday.
Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8
For the closer up Bird shots as I have had to take my Canon gear to shoot those which is a lot heavier.
Olympus 17mm f/1.8
I wanted something that weighed less than my 12-40 f/2.8 lens to pop into my handbag and this 17mm f/1.8 was 1/3 the weight and tiny.
Really like this one it is sharp at f/1.8 and I will not be needing any more lenses, very happy with what I have now
Whoo, I just got a new OPPO A9 2020 phone!!!...
--for somebody elseBut I'm impressed with it, just the same
From Officeworks, for $349, even though that's the price everywhere.
I compared it with the Samsung A21S, but this one's got more RAM/Storage.
Else it's so much the same. The person [is/was/will be again some day] a
traveller, so needed dual SIM capability. The Samsung did not have that.

I bought myself a Nikon Z50 which is the crop sensor of their mirrorless range. I wanted something light when I have to carry it any distance and it certainly is that. At this stage I only have the kit lens but am rather impressed with it and I can use my other Nikon lenses with the FTZ adaptor until Nikon come out with more Z lenses for the crop version. Whilst I love some of the features of my little Olympus and I was considering upgrading it, I was concerned that Olympus is selling the camera side of their business to what sounds like a company which may not develop it further. I also find I can work instinctively with the Nikon but was still learning how to change various things with the Olympus.

Congratulations on you new camera Glenda. May you have many happy hours using it.
Though it’s not the camera that is heavy for me, it’s those lenses
Huh something i never noticed i never posted in here about my new lens that i brought
New 55 to 250 lens from cash converters for like 300 dollars brought back on the 9/06/2020 and still new because ive not used it much

Picked up a 2nd hand Nikon 80-200 f2.8 D a/f (gen 2) which I've been looking around for for a while now for the photography I do for my Church.
When it arrived I found it has a Haze-1 filter. It seems this filter is basically a UV filter. So is there any real benefit leaving it on?

"Life is like a camera! Focus on what is important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out take another shot."
I'm in the camp which doesn't believe we need UV filters, probably you'd find an equal number who believe the opposite. Some believe they protect the lens from damage but there are many videos disproving that. I rely on my lens hood to protect my lenses from accidental knocks. Enjoy your new lens.
2nd hand lens. Didnt have the hood... I can get one off ebay fairly cheaply though; HB7 I believe for this lens. If there is no optical advantage to using a if filter I'll remove it.

My understanding is that UV filters served a purpose in the age of film.
Poetic disclaimer:
It is used, not new, and it is not the current model. But Whoo! cares?
It's my first ever dedicated macro lens, and it came mentioned in dispatches
(And it's in top condition, and I paid just $200, so I'm

It achieves a native 1:1 reproduction, and I hope to get 2:1 with the 2X converter.
