Dog’s like “Why’d you do this to me?”

How’d you do this from Mastadon?

If you could, it would be the kind of cat that Wes Anderson would make a movie about.

This. Like ten years ago, when Samsungs had swappable batteries, they were super proud of it. They would advertise it as a feature that Apple doesn’t have.

When I was at a festival, Samsung had an activation where you could tweet at them with your phone model and location and they would send someone with a full battery to trade you for yours. It was an amazing free service that I used so many times, and every time, the jealousy on the faces of all the iPhone people was palpable. Then one year, they quietly removed the swappability from their new phones.

Swappable batteries are such a huge feature that most people don’t even know that they want.

If I walk around, then human see me. This way more sneaky, what could go wrong?

You’d probably be surprised to learn how little some famous people make.

No more traveling than a typical NBA game.

Oh damn, all this time I thought we were talking EF. My bad. The 1.4 is still really light but just sticks out quite a bit more than the 1.8 RF. With the adapter, it will obviously stick out even more so it will feel a bit heavier in hand because the center of gravity will be more forward on the camera. Still tolerable and worth a try though.

I totally get what you mean about the pretend-buy, but just do it on Amazon rather than B&H or Adorama so you don’t have to feel bad borrowing from the big corp. I did that with quite a few gimbals when I was trying to find one, and it was the only affordable way to find the right one.

The 1.4 is only about 2-2.5x the price of the 1.8, and while it might not seem like the specs justify that price increase, I recommend renting it for a week (or “retail renting” buy/return) to better understand what it has to offer. It’s hard to understand the difference until you play with it a bit, and if you are digging the DOF of the 1.8, you might love that extra stop of the 1.4 double that amount. It all depends on your tastes as a photographer and the style that you’re going for, but you should really give it a spin to find out for yourself.

As for the 1.2, I have a friend that swears by the 1.2, but it’s because the speed and extra shallow depth of field is worth 12x the price of the 1.8 for him. It isn’t for me, though. There are very few situations where the 1.4 leaves me wanting the 1.2 (which is why I don’t own it), but there are soooo many times that I grab my 1.8 for its size and weight and wish I had brought my 1.4 instead. If you find yourself loving the 1.4 more than the 1.8, then you should at least try the 1.2 as well, because you won’t understand why it costs so much more until you have it on your camera.

Ohh yeah, I remember the first time I got my hands on that lens. I recommend everyone at least rent the F1.4 and F1.2 after they’ve tried the F1.8, because they will really helped me to understand why there’s so much cost difference between those 3 lenses.

Interesting. Everyone I know that is aware of Meow Wold is outside of New Mexico, and we all know of its Santa Fe roots.

Ah, the ole Reddit switcha…. …Sorry, old habits die hard.

Glad I’m not the only one. Never feels good, but it would be even scarier if it did feel good.

Nope. Just generic murder.

Murder

It’s giving off Charlie Kaufman vibes in the best way. This is my number one most anticipated at the moment.

Yeah, I’m gonna need you to explain the last part.
