I believe we are still looking at the a7iii. Don’t quote me since @andrew is the one with the final say haha. Of course that doesn’t have a built-in flash either.
I am taking a look at a couple new lenses as well for hopefully Christmas time! We also may or may not be looking at measurement rigs right now which may or may not cut into the camera budget for the time being… who knows? Haha
Great thread sorely needed. I have always been able to get “good enough” photos from my Pixel 2 with some effort. Has anyone tried the Moment Case and lens set that is make for iPhones and the Pixel 2? Just wondering if the $100 expense would be worth it to get the CPL filter or if I should just put the money toward a proper camera rig.
I took this with the tiny Leica C112 (Panasonic LF1) a few years ago. It’s a little noisy, but the colors and contrast on the black amp were very realistic.
Another shot, this time a Thinksound woodie IEM using the Leica D-Lux (Panasonic LX100). Also noisy indoors, despite the larger sensor and ISO 800:
@antdroid gave me the best advice in jumping into photography by suggesting the Lumix GX85 micro 4/3 camera…its cheap and the lenses are cheap in comparison to most other cameras…and it is a very portable camera, especially with the 20mm pancake lens.
Or another great option with a clear upgrade path is the Sony a6000-a6600 cameras…the 6100 just got announced recently and is a great jump in point…but a couple hundred dollars more than what a bundle gx85 goes for.
If you have interest in photography I recommend going the GX85 route or a similar 4/3 camera as the initial price isn’t so painful, if you don’t get into it…plus it will teach you how to frame shots better due to being a cropped sensor…at least it did for me lol…now I’m spoiled with the A7iii and I’ve only taken a 100+ shots so far.
Here is my GX9 taken with my A7iii lol
So on the left, looks very similar - maybe a new model - to my Electric Avenues headphone amp. What is it actually?
I can’t see any noise on my phone
Most people won’t open up the pictures and zoom 3:1 in
so loose your “fear” instead embrace the grain
it is what it is- like taxes
when I see your IEM picture- I look for the simplicity and see the effort you put in it- thank you
Electric Avenues PA2V2, from Canada.
It’s great that Gary is back in production with a new model. I’ve had the first version for over 20 years. Used to use it with a Sony DiscMan and either my old Audio Technicas or my then new Senn HD-580s.
Here’s a Shure 1540 taken with Leica Monochrom/Noctilux f0.95. Focus is ridiculously shallow at f0.95, and I wish I’d not been so close up…
The Marley “Liberate” - not a great headphone, but the wood and the colorful ribbon make the picture (Leica ‘T’). Note the colors in the separator rings on the 3.5 mm plug.
Hey gang,
Just surfing around the forum and found this thread, if anyone ever has any photography questions, camera questions, lighting, composition, etc… please let me know I am happy to help. I have been shooting professionally since 07’ and long before that as an amateur. My work spans across a few genres from advertisement, automotive, portrait, editorial, and event work. Link in my bio if you want to check it out.

love your product shot of the medical m… - so inviting! 
Thank you @MartinTransporter 
Nice photos!! I almost moved to Reno the last couple weeks, but wife ended up accepting a job that let us stay in Seattle area…we actually kind of want to move though lol. I will have to pick your brain on some photo tips !!! I’m right in the amateur/novice photographer realm trying to get better… also I want to get into videographer type stuff. I followed you on Instagram, some dope pictures there!
@MartinTransporter are you on Instagram also?

deleted all client related pictures
if you wana chat about lightning, photo/-videography or other fun topics- always open to nerdtalk
I will try to feed the insta machine in the future
always a bit tricky not to show off too much of my hobbies- so I stopped and deleted also our homepage 
unfortunately personal rights management became crazy in germany and our companies partners could get a wrong image of me as employee…
I once had a long and confusing conversation following from accents and mishearing “Olga” versus “Ogre.” Reduces to Oga…Shrek is an Oga! Olga is a Shrek.
Thank you @TylersEclectic appreciate it! Reno/Lake Tahoe Region is pretty awesome. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest also, that area is beautiful! Just let me know I am happy to help!
MR
A buddies ex-wife is an Olga and looks like an Ogre
