I can\'t compete with your photos here Katie - I like those first 2 best of your last post, but why also is your son shooting his homestate\'s football jersey ?

Just to sate your wish to stop the posting hiatus, here are just a couple I quickly took when snapping some gear I want to sell.
These two were taken with my M8 using a G45/2 converted to LM. The A7R had been used to taking shots of the M8 and M9 and a couple of other things. The C/Y Zeiss Planar 50/1.4 is already Leitaxed to EF.

I\'m still mulling over what I sell and what I keep, having bought an A7R. Here in Aus Sony\'s promotion meant that it came with a free vertical grip and a free adapter of choice.

I\'m not selling the 7R, but do I sell my M8 and M6 Classic and keep my \'newly-sensored\' M9, or vice-versa? As i\'ve rambled on about a few weeks ago I am pessimistic about sensor longevity of the M9, combined with its still considerable value if it should fail.

I have a 5D III for action photography and that\'s getting less value by the day - a weekend motorbike trip caused some chafing of the camera bag against the pentaprism, causing yet more paint rubs through to the metal. It looks like I neglect my gear which is far from the truth.
