Today I got mugged. They pointed a gun at me and took all my camera stuff. over 4 thousand dollars worth of stuff. While I was working. I am sad. 🙁
What happened m8
I was doing a city light photoshoot for someone and some cars kept driving by and looking at us. I didn’t mind it too much because we had other people around us so I kept kind of safe. But these kids came by in their car, one got out of the car and said I was talking bleep about them. I said they got the wrong people because I don’t know them. They told me to look at that other white car on the otherside and that they told them we said something about them. So I said again look you got the wrong people and I’d like you to leave us alone. He was ghetto and hard to understand but I could tell he was threatening me. I got angry and stepped towards them and the guy grabbed my camera and tripod. As he was jumping in the car, I grabbed him out and slammed him to the ground and another one in the car got out and pointed a gun at us and they took off with the bag I had on the ground, along with the camera and tripod. I screamed at them but it was too late. After that I noticed the other white car sitting there at the stop just looking at us. I stared over and he busted a U-turn and took off. We called the cops, but theres no way I’m going to get the stuff back. We had some bystanders standing around that recognized the car for us so who knows…..I have doubts.
That sucks, but remember, cameras are replaceable.
Are you ok ?
Yea I’m ok. Thanks
Sorry to hear of your unfortunate incident; the loss was great but thankfully you are physically unharmed, the gear can be replaced. Hope you can put the shock of this behind you.
The most innovative feature of E mount is the ability to use multiple lens mounts.
Having such a feature on A mount is the only way it can compete.
Based on recent Sigma interview
Thier 150-600 zooms share the lead for the most money generated. Even though they are not the top sellers.
Very nice vibe here!
I wonder about that 21mm 2.8 loxia but alas- reviews seem mixed. Well, not so much on the 21 but the others. I mean, a few websites say the 35mm F2 has legendary bokeh. Then again, Admiring Light said it sucked. All agree mid and corner performance is lackluster. 50mm is a planar and there are just to many planar’s out there. I can’t say I see any special sauce in the rendering.
That brings me to the 21mm 2.8. I looked at all the high res shots available from the photoblographer and a few other websites. Color signature looks great but I’m not sure the corners are really all that impressive. Distortion is a bit unprecedented as well for such a premium.
The kicker is the focusing ring. Rather than favor functionality they went for form with focusing scale protruding into the focusing ring. Add to that some focus breathing- no reports on the 21mm yet- I can’t justify the price which stinks because I dig the overall design and aim of the product.
I eagerly await the voigtlander FE mount lenses this spring. Now that…that could become something special.
