There is a difference between abbreviations and acronyms.
Check it out.

Bears do go out on the rain to eat. Otherwise no problems.
Seriously that time of the year they are fattening up for winter.

Torment, nice lens but more than I need.
Thanks

Thank you AM foto 1
That was an excellent book you wrote. I will save it.

Zoo, backyard. Not going for mountain goats.

I was thinking about that one as well, 18-400

I have done a lot of research, but still not sure what the best choice is.
I shoot with a Canon 80d. I have prime 24mm and 50mm. Those are my street lenses. I also have the kit 18-55 mm, newer version.
And the Lenses I am thinking of trading. Canon 18-200mm 3.5. Canon 55-250mm kit lens.
All are EFS. Majority of my photography are wildlife and landscapes in the Atlanta area. There are many times that the 250mm max is not enough.
I am thinking of trading the two larger zoom lenses for the Tamron 16- 300 Pzd Macro Lens.
That way I would carry one lens, 16-300 for my normal walking days. But still have my two primes, and 18-55 for street.

I also have a Sony @6000 with a couple of lenses for travel.

Great comments
Thanks

Good idea

I really love my Sony a6000, and want to get another 6*** . I am familiar with the use and menus. It is easy to carry, I have several batteries and a couple of e-mount lenses. I have several Canon EFS and FD lenses that I have been using with converters to the a6000.
Not interested in FF.
Options, a6100, 6300 and a6400.
I shoot landscape/wildlife and street.
Probably will carry both cameras with different setups.
The a6400 looks good. Any recommendations.

Different frames allow for different uses of ride. Carbon frames are very light and very stiff. Racers and triatheletes prefer them for their instant response. Aluminum is generally a stiff frame, less than a Carbon. Steel, is softer, gentler ride. The components on the bike, brakes, cassette, pedals, can be very expensive. Wheels are a high price item on the top carbon bikes. Less weight, less inertia. Trust me, riding up a 6 degree hill can be tough with a heavier wheel and tire.
In any event it is all about your use, pocketbook. I have seen folks purchase the less than 18 pound bike, only to add water bottle cages, bags and chains and locks. And you are correct, fit is most important. That's where a bike shop that knows what they are doing is all important.

NOt where I live. Cycling has gotten popular again.

[quote=eugenehinds]I have ridden over 200 miles in one day and the bike I used was a Raleigh Super Course which I got for less than $300. This was in the 70s. A similar bike would be around $1100 today. Most important is the fit which makes your arms and legs the perfect length. On a properly fitted bike the long downhill coast will rest you as your easy chair at home. The Super Course had a Reynolds 531 steel frame with a longish wheelbase and was comfortable. If I bought a new bike the new saddle went into the trash can and my old leather Brooks went onto the new bike. I did finish #2 in state championship one year but not on the Raleigh but on a Puch racing bike with sew up tires.[/quote
That was great bike. My favorite bikes were the Reynolds Chrome moly steel.

Actually normal people, whatever that means, shop at small, locally owned bike shops, where they can get a bike that fits, is not junk, and serves the needs of the consumer.
I have probably purchased 20 bikes in my life all from bike shops. I took up cycling as a hobby and activity some 30 years ago. I will be 79 in September and unfortunately had to stop cycling a couple of years ago for medical reasons.
I rode mainly road bikes, but having lived in CO for several years, mountain bikes also.
I did a lot of charity weekend rides, did the MS 150. Rode on average 30 miles/day, about five days a week. Rode hills and mountains.
I never spent more than $1800 on a roadie, and $1000, for a mtn. Sure I could have spent a lot more, but one reaches the law of diminishing returns, save a few ounces of bike weight? Not at my level did I need to save a few minutes.
When you see those prices, they are what the pros and semi pros buy.
I would never purchase a bike at the box stores. Most of them are junk, heavy steel bikes that rust and break.
They do the job like a pinhole camera would, not like a good DSLR.

Nice website.
So who sets the price of the prints and who does the printing?
Thanks
