i fucking hate gear. i should have bought a $1600 nikon z6ii+24-70 f4 kit and added on voigt glass later instead of this $600 SNOY JUNK and $1000 of lenses. megapixels are retarded anyways.
thanks for reading my blog
learn from my mistake. buy a nikon d750, a cheap 50mm, and shoot everything at f/11 with flash. then you will never have to worry about gear again.
