I understand the dilemma. I hope it works out for you. I'm extremely concerned that my left hip has some damage. I don't want to stop working out so I stick to things that don't hurt it. Oddly swimming is what causes the most pain.

It's not worth it to break yourself now and not play later.

I was a super fatty back then.

That's baby makin music right there. http://youtu.be/AdZK0HeYkwM

Better!

I ran out of gear on the one I tested. It won't win a road race but I do feel the lost efficiency is exaggerated. If you don't got off-road but a road bike. If you go off-road but also have to be in pavement sometimes a fat bike is not a bad option. Laughs at curbs.

That was partially intended. I needed someone else to feel my pain for a brief moment. I knew something was up because the demo unit already sounded better than anything I had plugged into my head. I honestly thought maybe the 6 drivers per eat were so inefficient that my phone was having trouble driving them... But I used my phone in the store. You know I have laughed off "break in" on speakers before but maybe it's much more real and does in fact take longer than a few seconds to happen. The bass is becoming this beautiful place where I can hear details within bass. That's super new for me. I can hear guitar strings being touched on really awesome speakers, on these I'm starting to hear the same on a bass guitar, I'm hearing the lead into and fade out on a drum being hit. Any way it's a whole new world. I'm so glad I found them, then you went to them and made up my mind. Should have stepped up years ago.

These CIEMs are amazing. Just amazing.

That's amazing!

Sean, finally a reason to go back to school! https://youtu.be/XKH5Gd92k74

Does to the bride! Boy I tell you what it matters to the bride.

I'll see what I can do. It I can destroy all the data in the pics I can probably post some. My photos range from kitschy to glamour magazine edits. I don't Photoshop yet so I can't make a big person skinny or anything like that but manipulating the color spectrum etc. Sometimes black and white. I don't really have a style yet. I can tell you I aim for non traditional whenever I can.

Shot a wedding yesterday. That was super dope.

Sales were junk for me. Slaughtered the month though.

sean, I'll bring some dumbbells and big whitey.

So a 70-200 With less chromatic issues than some primes might be a good plan. If only someone made a lens that could AF like a boss, had the focal lengths you needed, and worked with a popular mount......

So, a large part of what the miscomunication is in photgraphy is that people think that sharpness is a thing. Your kit lenses can be sharper than L glass. The 50mm 1.8 is *sharper* than the 1.2. Yet if you handed someone a 1.2 and a 1.8, they would use the 1.2.

EF mount mirrorless is boner town!

Sony will buy out someone is my guess. Or as you said whatever tech giant. LG buys up Canon and I can put my 70-200 on my LG V16 cell phome would be ok!

This is what I needed. I'm kinda proud I had that as a general theory in my head though! Lol :-D

Sean can you help with how a 1.8 on those sensors works? Our cellphones are 1.8 I think, My concern is that it's still not going to be sensitive enough or deal with ISO well enough to Make images as nice as my FF with 2.8. I don't know enough about how that math works, but I feel like I get more light with the bid camera. :-D

For the record I could replace the wide zoom and the standard zoom with primes. I could not replace the 70-200 With primes. No primes are as good when you take into account the AF and amazing image quality at the moment. Having only 4 lenses to keep track of us really nice for me. Even with a second shooter using the wide or standard zoom, I still feel confident having the 50mm and the 70-200. As my only go to. Not perfect for group shots but I can make it work with a FF. Also as to why I went FF. I don't think it's specifically better, but it's a larger landing zone for light. Its also nice when I really want to make some shallow DOF.

Silent enough for anything I'm going to do. If it's not ok in some silent situation I best those foam lens jackets would shut it up.

I had to have a philosophy and truely set priorities. So what are the pillars and paradigms? My goal was to not have equipment hold me back without spending for the sake of spending. I'm known for trying to buy my way out of problems and I didn't want to spend more for things that won't help me.... Like a noctilux or similar. So what helps me get shots? 90% of the time I just want more light. IS is extremely helpful, but I shoot action normally and shutter speed is ends up being too fast for IS to be the only answer. I drink less caffeine now and I have noticed my hands are more steady as I get healthier too... So I really look for the widest aperature. I could focus on flash, but that is more for staged shots IMHO so I'm not going to rely on that either. So the primary focus points are..... #1) Wide Aperature. If it's not f2.8 capable I'm going to be really frustrated. Not only do I get better isolation and bokeh I get more shots that are usable. In Rome and PR I could not have done the weddings without it. #2) Focus speed and acuracy. This is why the 70-200 is the God lens for my kit. With that lens my confidence is unparalleled. Dynamic capability is key, and big whitey does way more than any other lens and usually more than a combination of lenses. Its frustratingly good because the only lenses that could beat it are other more expensive Canon white lenses. #3) Stabilization. I'm glad I listened to Sean about this. I didn't think I would need it so much. Its absolutely needed if you are holding your camera. Even when using fast shutter speeds it gets about 15% more usable shots when under crazy dynamic situations. That's an insane amount. Absolutely nuts.

I think Maybe I can chime in with some data points here that might help others too. I went extremely safe and traditional. I rarely go wide so I have the 16-35 2.8 L. The 11-24 would be awesome... But being more than the lens I use the most, I can't justify. The next lens is the 24-70mm 2.8. I chose Tamron. The Tamron has IS and at the time it was the only option that did. I'll go into more on that later. The next lens is the 70-200 ISii 2.8 L. This is the best lens. It has so much intangible value that I would use it even when it's not the ideal focal length. It's so capable I'll get more usable shots even when it's not the right took specifically. I suplement my kit with a 50mm 1.2 and the 2x extender. The extender and the big whitey gives me a range from 16mm to 400mm and further on a crop sensor in one bag. The 50mm 1.2 is the most affordable hyper low light lens and it means I can shoot in moonlight and get completely usable images. If I ever wish to do video it's also a real brute.
