Update: hammered out the business details for the business location. Everything is good to go. I was just in there with my business partner cleaning out the rooms and we plan on taking most of our gear to the spot little by little starting tomorrow. I think we can be fully open for business to the public in the next two weeks.

Thats awesome bruh, congratulations. Been crazy seeing the progress of your business through this thread. Inspiring.

Any NYC brehs hitting up the Photoplus Convention this weekend? Hot the invite from someone I met at the airport that works at Wandrd in marketing. I'm bout to drop a lot of dough for my camera bag in which they have 1 of the 3 I'm looking at. (Prvke 31)

I still haven't pulled out my z6 due to how busy I've been at work and the fact that I want all my lenses before I go out. Outside the kit lense, I just ordered the Nikkor Z 50mm prime and Nikkor Z 14-30mm Wide Angle. Both should be here by Monday:lolbron:

Have you seen Peter McKinnon's new camera bag with Nomadic on kickstarter? Joint looks legit. Although if you need it now that won't help since it won't ship til April

Yea, I was holding a lil hope when he originally tickled at the announcement it would be a full fledged partnership with Nomadic...he's a big enough name. But when it went the kickstarter route I was like :francis: cause I'm not waiting on that shyt till next year. Between Wyndrd, Peak Design and Boundary I was a lil torn. Each has what I want...Modular Pack of at least 30+ liters. Tons of compartment options, Can hold a 13inch laptop and tablet if need be. 2 days of light cloths. With a cube that can host my z6 with a lens plus 3 other lenses along with my Mavic Air. Only thing...I was about to blow $300+ which I was prepared for. However, thru the magic of cookies....I was linked to Pgytech via Instagram. I got in contact with them and I'm getting there Launch Backpack Pgytech OneMo, that has everything I'm looking for. Plus I'm getting it for 50% off at $120 with the launch folks. Backpack is piff. PGYTECH OneMo Backpack

Just copped my first non-kit lens on a whim. Best Buy was selling the Sony E 55-210mm lens for $150 & packaged with a $50 gift card so it felt too good to pass up on. I stopped trying street photography because it felt weird trying to inconspicuously take photos and so hopefully the telephoto lens motivates me more.

From here on out though, any additional lenses I get will potentially be second hand since I hear that used camera equipment can be great

All my lenses are used, i usually buy from reputable sellers in japan on ebay. I equal camera lenses to art, they hold their value and will switch hands numerous times i their lifecycle.

I could sell most of my lenses that I bought used and just lose about 50 from what I paid
