Any of yall ever used one of those Wacom tablets? I'm hoping to get the small one, that's going for about $70 right now, this weekend.
i used to use a wacom tablet.. been using them for a decade ( i'm also an illustrator) I use a cintiq now. but them intuos jawns will speed up your workflow. especially if you into doing all that photo retouching/dodging and burning shyt with brushes.

them monoprice/huion jawns on amazon are pretty much the same shyt. when one of my tablets broke, i bought one for a quick fix until i got a cintiq companion. works exactly them same, just sometimes doesnt have the same features like screen toggling if you have dual monitors.

Sony a7 Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera with 28-70mm Lens and 64GB memory card

Is this a good deal? I was thinking about copping the a7ii but this will save me some bread. Especially since the a7ii body runs about a stack alone. I'm still a novice so I think this is about my speed

thanks for the info. Yeah I'm getting into more of the frequency separation stuff and doing this stuff with a mouse is tedious. I might check and see if microcenter got any cheaper brands to.

:patrice:

do you need it to be new? I see the used deal going for like $870/ edit: I didn't see the memory card...my bad.


But that's not bad I guess. I don't know how attached your are to getting that kit lens, but that deal you posted is about right.

I simplified my gear down to my Nikon D7000 and my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D, this lens is just perfect for my family photos and weekend trips. I still have my Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5, its a great lens but haven't been using it at all lately. All my comic con pics were taken with the 50mm.

I was walking around that convention floor like, “Damn, these women ain’t waste no time cosplaying as Bowsette lol.” I wanted to use my Sigma 50 f/1.4, but it’s an EF mount, and my 5D mkii is just way too heavy to carry around all day. So all of my pictures were taken with my Sony A7 iii with the 28-70mm kit lens. Which sucked because it’s highest aperture is 3.4, and it’s variable. The good thing is that the camera has awesome dynamic range, so I was still able to get the images how I wanted them to look in post.
