1) Belgium beer tour for next year is a go. 2) A solution to the short session/ login problem is proving rather hard. Might need a new hosting solution. Not this month. So for now you'll need to relogin to post comments.

The Sony a7r iii is so awesome I've completely switched over from Canon. Highly recommended. Using with mostly Sony GM lenses. All photos here since 2108 were taken with it. Have had zero issues with it.

LEOFOTO LH-40 40mm. I've used plenty of cheaper ballheads and always hated them. This one is a joy though. I love the control it has even when using a huge lens. Worth the extra $ in my opinion.

G-raphy DSLR Backpack. Never heard of the brand before I bought this bag, but it's been very reliable. I use the bottom quick entry all the time. Also fits well in overhead lugggage. Which is great.

Getting it ready for you.
