    New gear please :)

    The Sony A&CII has better autofocus than the Fuji, but ergonomically not as good as the Fuji. It lacks a Joystick for a start. On paper the Sony is a "better" camera but you might hate using it. It's an option for sure, it is an amazing camera.

    New gear please :)

    Personally, I would go a multi routes approach. 1 - Sign up to Email Notifications in John Lewis. When they pop up in stock, it is fastest fingers first. You will have a chance of getting it much sooner than pre-order if you are quick as John Lewis do not take pre-orders. 2 - WEX - They cost...

    New gear please :)

    If you want one, just pre-order one, get your name in the queue. It will be about 1-3 months (or 3-6) depending who you ask. But the longer you wait, the longer that queue is getting. I only waited 1 month and pre-ordered at the end of February.

    New gear please :)

    The X100VI is a very good all rounder if you can live with the fixed focal length. For an easier to obtain alternative, get the XT5 + a lens of your choice. It has the exact same internals (auto focus + sensor). It is larger but you do have the option of change lenses should you want to...

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    Actually, just checked, I paid £25, ordered it from here. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006067113624.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.17.24481802QrW1h6 1 - It does click and the mechanism works as expected. 2 - Mine is the 30lb spring, which is less force than I thought....30lb...

    New gear please :)

    You need to define "1 lens that does all". For me, 1 lens that does all would be a 35mm prime. Which is achievable in every system. For some people, they want a 10-800/2.8 which does not exist.

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    I bought the £19 option in the first link about 3 weeks ago. It works great, good material. Weighty in the hand and does exactly what it says on the tin. I would prefer a flat base and not a ridge one though, but I don't know if I want to pay £27 more for that as I can always use a normal...

    That's the other thing I dislike about Peak Design bags, that they are too distinctive. I can spot one from miles away.

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    Now I am back in the Espresso game...but still like my filter. I want to get a better (more ergonomic) hand grinder, under £100. So I can have 1 grinder for 1 type of coffee. I like the look of the 1Zpresso 2Qs, any other to look at? I was going to fork out and get a Fellow Ode Gen 2 but...

    Best credit card that gives flight lounge Access as a perk

    Every "medium" distance flight, and that is all flights I've taken within Europe, and down to North Africa (Morocco) are on the same 2+3 configurations where the actual seats between the 1st row to the last row are exactly the same. The only difference is there is a curtain from row 10 onwards...

    Best credit card that gives flight lounge Access as a perk

    Amex Gold £195 a year (1st year free I think) will give you 4 free access a year, and then it is £20 a pop I beleive. These are for Priority Pass program so you get a Priority Pass membership which you show to enter the lounge as opposed to the Amex card itself. Since the 1st year is free, you...

    The Wotancraft Cordura Upgrade? https://www.wotancraft.tw/en/product/3.5L-waist-pack-sling-bag-v2-khakibrown-canvas It works out to about £85. Not cheap but I think it is worth it,. If you want something cheaper then I would look to Tenba bags. The backpack I got recently cost less than the...
