I actually hit quote on 2 separate quotes and they both went into the reply. when I went to type in something it crashed Firefox. I also can't delete a quote once it's in the text box. The new software keeps a draft of my reply. However I can post it then delete the post PS- This is all referring to using the forum on my mobile deivce

May 26, 20169 yr The risers installed in our converter lines cause more of a mess and create a lake for us to work in. It just sucks!
May 27, 20169 yr I am at a camera segue. Seriously contemplating the 70-200 2.8 IS II. I need the length and speed. Considering it is nearly a $2k investment though I wanted to review my options. Functionally if I sell everything I have and put that towards something else this is the breakdown. (all trending now prices from Ebay). Item Used Price 70D $715 50mm 1.4 $229 17-55 2.8 $540 11-16 2.8 $330 Total $1,814 70-200 IS II $1,655 G Total $3,469 Needless to say that means I can also look at what $3500 buys me in an alternative. That being said, my plan is to demo the 70-200 with Matt as well as just hang out and have some fun. The other demo I will do is on some mirrorless cameras. Looking at what I can get for $3500 really opens up some opportunities. I am concerned about the focus speed, but perhaps a used body now that I upgrade in a year resolves that as they have made huge strides. I was also unaware that they added a viewfinder on the mirrorless bodies. The Fuji 40-150mm 2.8 is a ridiculously great lens. The Oly isn't bad either. Long term this may be a much better choice for me, but I am only guessing from what I have read. Seth - exactly why I said I am open to the Nikon. I currently don't see how putting $3500 into Nikon would net me anything positive over what I have (with the 70-200 2.8 included), but in the mirrorless I am tempted solely based on size and future expansion. I am sure that the manufacturers will focus hardcore on that tech over the SLR.
May 27, 20169 yr Supposedly the a6300 Sony is as fast at focus as a DSLR. Mirrorless are nice as well if you want to manual focus since legacy lenses fit cheap and easily. Still some learning atm in combining phase & contrast detection. From an optics perspective and algorithm perspective long term it should be faster and more robust since there are more potential variables you can use to lock things in, but of course that makes the "learning" curve longer. Since Sony nailed it supposedly I expect others to not be far behind.
May 27, 20169 yr Also crazy to see the 42MP Full Frame sensor in a mirrorless. Sort of tells you where the future investment is...

A co-worker of mine was asked to help escort a fallen WWII soldier home after they found his body and were able to identify him. They flew him to the nearest big airport and had a police escort for 2 hours (across state lines) to bring him home and give him a proper burial. I thought it was pretty cool. http://www.parsonssun.com/news/article_522df8f4-2215-11e6-9081-b39c166d4c78.html

May 27, 20169 yr Let me know what you find Sean. I can't help but think the AF systems will leave you wanting.
May 27, 20169 yr My take too. I think the Sony will work for that, but their lenses won't. Might give me the hope that in the future there is a solution in which case I might adopt now. Off to National Camera...
May 27, 20169 yr I'm interested as well. You guys said to go Mirrorless for the budget, but the cost seems greater in what little I've checked out.
May 27, 20169 yr Budget being buying something with a kit lens and shooting, not buying used primes and a used body.
