Nice Joshua! That little lens is one of the first ones I bought for my original A7 is still a favorite, especially on my A7CR. Steve
Thank you, Steve! Yes, that little lens is great and still pulls off great images although there are new competitors from the smallish Sony G and Sigma lenses lately.

There is definitely a point of diminishing returns the higher you go up in price with audio. That said, I think you could quite easily tell the differences between headphones and systems.
On another note, I'm only into headphones, which can be expensive, but there are people that are into high-end speaker systems and those can easily get into the USD 100k+ to millions.
I have some high end amplifiers and B&W speakers that cost as much as some new cars. I haven't turned them on for years
I dreaded paying for my Sony 600 GM but it wasn't too bad comparing to how much I paid for my B&W speakers. I haven't used my audio stuff for at least 10 years since I turned my attention to photography, they are collecting dust.
Went out this weekend to shoot some nesting/fledging behaviour of common terns. I got there and realized that the location was hard to photograph and that the sky looked amazing. Switched to my 20mm F1.8 to try and capture the terns with the clouds in frame. Sad fact is, I have more fun doing this than getting more typical images with my longer (and significantly more expensive) lenses
Zhongyi Mitakon 50/0,95 Speedmaster Mk2 - The Dark Knight.I came across this lens by chance and at first didn't think it will draw my attention.I was wrong.Very often The Dark Night renders out of focus blurr so smoothly.Smoother than state-of -the-art Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.0 in FE mount and,of course, the excellent Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.2 FE.I decided to keep it.

Funny how things change Douglas. I got rid of my B&W speakers before moving to FL after not listening to them for a long time as well.
Crested Caracara flight from a few weeks ago.
Same deal with our piano. No one has touched it ever since our kids were "forced" to take piano lessens 20 years ago, I know, typical Asian parents .
I have yet to see a Caracara outside of a zoo, very cool bird. More hummers from my yard yesterday.
