I agree I love the hard copy photo books.

I prefer real books over digitally. I don’t have a lot of space but this one was really small so easy to tuck into my small bookshelf.

Sir Basil, so happy to see folks are still buying and enjoying hard-copy photo books!!

These are certainly legendary images!!

I've been spending a couple years simply working to give away my extensive photo book/magazine library!

New camera today. Goodbye Sony A7ii. Hello Sony A7iii.

AF is astronomically improved, dynamic range too. Can't wait to work on portrait shoots now!

Very nice Carl looking forward to seeing pictures from it.

Awesome! I almost bought the sigma mirror 600. Let us know how it is. I’m really interested to hear your results.

I sure will I was hoping the moon was out tonight as it arrived this morning and was going to try it but we have tons of cloud

Not a huge purchase but I bought this book this morning. Saw it as I was waiting to check out at the store. So far it’s really interesting. For sure something to pick up if you see it!

I've only taken 3000 so far! I'll pop a couple on the usual thread.

I just got a new (to me anyway) lens. I picked up a Panasonic Leica 45mm f2.8 macro. It's an older model and usually out of my price range, but I found a used gray market example that fit my budget. Surprisingly when it showed up it's very clean and looks brand new. Haven't found anything too interesting to photograph yet, but here's an apple. closest focus @ f8. Panasonic GX85, Godox tt685 small softbox. Image is straight out of camera Raw, just taken into lightroom to resize and export as jpeg.

Awesome stuff. I have a manfrotto also with the ball head and it’s amazing.

Thanks, Basil!!! That's good to know I did read loads of reviews before I made my mind up.

Somehow this ended up on my doorstep.

They stuck a meter in it and called it the M6. I understand these are fine performers.

Haha yeah very similar to the m6. I’ve run two rolls through it so far and I’m very please with it.

I've always wanted to test one of those Minolta made lenses.

I really enjoy it. Been reading about it for a while and it seems like it’s pretty much the same as the summicron version.

I have been wanting one for years, but there was so many other things I would rather invest in, and unfortunately I don't have my own money press, so it is a matter of priority

Surfing the web last week, I came across a company that sell a generic product with a 3 year warranty at a third of the price for an original, so I pulled the trigger on: a vertical grip

Nice ! Which camera is it for? I remember buying a grip for my d750 was killer. I offset the cost by trading in some unused gear

It is for my Sony A99ii, but it will also fit on my A77 mk 1 should it be

We recently picked up a Canon SL3 for the wife. She wanted something of her own and said she liked my 80D, but it was too heavy.

I grabbed hers yesterday to take some flower shots in the garden and it’s a sweet little camera and weighs almost nothing.
