Pardon my ignorance but why do you need two similar cameras? i.e DSLR’s?

2 identical actually.

It’s part insurance, part convenience, part what doing professional work requires.

You don't do much Macro photography do you? Or do you still do product photography?

I do product photography in my day job (fruit and veg) and I also photograph guitar pedals and some T-Shirts for Chase Bliss Audio in the states. In terms of macro, only wedding rings.

New in today, replacing my Canon 760D. Will mainly be used for video -

First fuji lens for my lighter weight kit.

I think we have different views on what light weight is.

That's why I said lighter kit rather than light. When you're used to carrying 3-4Kg, the fuji is very light. It plus the X-E3 weighs less than my nikon 80-200 f2.8 on it's own. (D810 + 80-200 = 2.43Kg vs X-E3 + 50-140 = 1.32Kg)

The 105/1.4 is definitely not light

I know the Rode Videomic Pro is the common choice, but having watched some reviews I've gone with the Azden. I like it has the option to use stereo mics, which still have a little focus on the subject, but capture much more environmental noise.

90mm Macro arrived this morning, now i need small stuff to shoot.

 

[Greebo]

Very nice. You will love it

 

[Captain]

Very nice. You will love it

Been using it today and I find it tries to focus a lot, even with the camera on and not focusing on anything, I can hear the motor inside doing something, that normal?

Depends, what you got your camera set on? Continuous?

It was, on AF-S now.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Ultra Wide now covered!

 

[doodah]

Nice - that and the Tamron 28-75mm must be a killer combo for those that don't want to fork out for the GMs.

Very nice, where did you pick it up from? Hoping to order one next week, trading in a couple of old canon speedlites.
