After shooting for three years with APS C I finally bought a full frame, a Sony a7 ii. Taking it out today to break it in a bit

eight months pass...

There I was upthread speculating about the EOS R four years ago. Now I've got one.

I had to sell a lot of stuff to fund it (and it's a used body, but in perfect nick). The drawer full of gear I acquired 7-8 years ago when I thought I really might make a go of photography as a side-line was getting me down; also felt a twinge in the shoulder every time I thought about the big, heavy zooms. So, after a false-start (shipping everything to one place only for half the stuff to fail their inspection), I dragged a bag of stuff into town and traded up (or sideways).

So now it's just the EOS R, plus a couple of super-lightweight lenses (16/2.8, 50/1.8), and my old EF-mount macro and portrait primes. It's been pretty great so far. Just need to get out and do more things.

Here's a little sequence showing off the face-/eye-tracking (local arts festival, pop-punk kids)...
