Was thinking of shooting in the snow but also about getting my camera and lens wet. How did you keep yours clear?

What lenses do you use. My native 50 1.8s picks up fine but when I used a sigma 135mm f Mount that shyt struggled like hell to focus sometimes.
I dont have any native lenses outside of the kit lens that came with it. I have a 70-200 tamron that I bought when I had my d5600. I bought a sigma 150-600 about 3 months ago. I have a 35mm 1.8 but its for the previous mount. I think I may purchase the 105mm macro line next.

Was able to place an order for an FX6 just now on B&H Photo, been checking regularly, hopefully it gets filled before the end of the month.
This shyt is getting ridiculous.

Already missed the end of the year so I can't log the purchase as an expense for my business tax return, and I opened up a CC just to cop new gear with to get a free $750. I have to charge $7500 by Feb. 18th.

:francis:

Plan was to get the 35-150 Tamron and the FX6 on the new card and pay it off right away and get an easy $750 to put towards more gear, now I'm just hoping this shyt gets here before the 18th of Feb.

I made up my mind in September breh. I would check online to see when it was in stock... the ridiculous thing is that I opened up a different CC for the rewards at the start of the summer and everything I wanted was either not out yet or backordered. I ended up missing the window for the incentives.

So I opened up a new card with a different provider and I'm cutting it close again.
:wtf:

Anybody got a DJI pocket 2 camera? I was looking into coppin this camera but I read that you have to give up a lot of personal info and GPS needs to be activated just to use the dam thing. Also, you need to use an app to input this info that is owned by China?

Word? What kind of slick shyt the CCP tryin to pull?

My dji drone needed my personal info and GPS activated. I can understand why a drone needed it but not sure why they would need it for the pocket.
