oh snap! so that plain brown box I was excited about the other day… it was from 😁 [if you’re a camera person, read on. if you’re not, this is where you may want to drop or you’ll get bored 🥱 ]
camera people, you still here?
so i have a Rebel T2i from 800 years ago, approximately. and my two lenses are EF lenses from the before times. in this case, i mean before mirrorless cameras lol. I used to love that camera, but it was far too slow for what i like to capture… and a camera that’s too slow with a patchy that’s too fast was veryyy frustrating for me so i left all of it in storage. i told myself that if i wanted to upgrade, i could do it on the road but that i wasn’t lugging all of that around only to not use it. i really had no space for that.
fast fwd to last… April?? we got to Colorado, and i knew it was time. i knew i was staying (obvs!) so i ran off to and checked out whatever they had. LUCKILY the store near Colorado Springs had a big camera section, and i narrowed down to an R8 and maybe an R6 Mark II? i can’t remember. i didn’t want to spend thaaaat kinda money on this though so i went more “middle ground” (ngl it’s still pricey but not Mark II pricey).
so what was in that package? a lens adapter for my EF lenses!!! when i moved into the new house, the “thing” i was most excited about was my camera bag - my 24-105 and my 70-200 were in there waiting for me 🤤 BUT the R8 is not compatible with either of those.
there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes in the non-IG-facing world of patch and fam, so this just wasn’t a priority, but when i had some down time the other day, i snagged it. and frickin’ B&H man… free 2 day shipping!!! ahhh! it was in my hands so fast.
anyway, here are some shots from this week and one from before the adapter got here (sunset/dusk shot).
stay tuned for more hi fi doggy photos. i haven’t even pulled the 70-200 out yet 😏
if you made it to the end, patchy says thanks for checking out his new tramp stamp 🤪🌈 mmk time for the weekend now, k byeee! ✌🏽
