I wish I could find the image, but I saw a close up photograph with a super high quality lens of vomit once, and it was surprisingly so artistic.

Wait until you see the prices and size of cinema lenses or collectible lenses. Some of them no bigger than a tennis ball can worth more than your cars (yes, combined)

Dats amazing balls yrayrayray !!!!! Wowowowow in such low light too.
So my whole philosophy for the gear was to make it light and portable. I was gonna just buy a rx100 and take that for vacations but I figure an interchangeable lens system has more flexibility. Of course there is gonna be trade offs, no way will it ever get those tact sharp images like skinny pup or nvm or ray ray. But it’s so dsmn small with a 18-50 that I’m pretty sure it’s perfect for travel.
I’ll know in a week. I’m heading to Australia for about 3 weeks. Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth and Melbourne.

This hobby as expensive as fuck | $5800 + tax @ Henry's, man https://www.henrys.com/canon-eos-r5-...n+RF&style=New
I've been drooling over this since it came out. But when a 5d3 with still at least 50% shutter life remaining is only $500 in the used market, I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on the R5 Mk2.

I must have been looking at a r3 or something. 5.5k for the body doesn’t sound so bad. 6k out the door….. yeah it’s not horrible. But the r5 mk1 is on sale for 4k now…. Hmmm

Every hobby thread on Revscene turns into "this is the expensive thing I want to buy" 
Go take some pictures with what you have, I'm sure it's good enough!

Hobbies are expensive.
Watches, cars, biking, computers.
I have a friend who's into running. He goes through 2-3 pairs of shoes a year just running @ ~200/pair. For his marathons he wears his more expensive shoes at 5-600/pair as they provide more performance. Yeah you'd have thought running was cheap.....

We've managed as a species to make the last free thing on the planet (running) prohibitively expensive haha.

I spent 6 months riding around urban Tokyo on a 30 or 40 year old barely working road bike, and I made some memories that will stay with me all my life. I get the appeal of buying cool gadgets and stuff, but it's not that necessary to enjoy the hobby itself.
$500 shoes seems insane to me lol

A lot of hobbies can be done fairly cheaply, people just choose to spend a lot of money on them sometimes.
Although in terms of $ spent per hour of hobby time those $200 pairs of shoes for running probably aren't too bad.

Happiest days of my photo days were shooting manual lenses with d3100. D3100 cant read aperture data from manual lenses so it was full manual mode. I then got d300 which could and eventually moved to FF and the automation turned me off.

I also really like going full manual with manual focus & manual aperture with these vintage 1970 Pentex lenses.
The look is sort of dreamy and old fashioned. Super takumar 4 the win !!!

All of the photos I took with my 5D MK2 were in manual mode, which is why at least 1/3rd of all my photos are out of focus. It made it that much better when I got a really crisp photo!

Who is the resident zoologist here? I can't tell if that forest puppy is a wolf or a coyote. Its coat looks too good to be a coyote, but it also looks a tad small to be a wolf.
