new camera purchase

[maxJ4380]

Ok in what must be in world record time. Both the card reader and the memory card arrived today. Honestly wasn't expecting them for another week or so.  You know its almost impossible to extricate items from their plastic package without totally destroying that packaging... Lord i hope i don't need to send it back...  

Not used Kingston before, but from years ago i knew they made ram chips, thought i'd take a chance. I have used Ugreen before and had no issues with their products and it was the cheapest uh2 reader.  I should probably download some kind of speed test program to see if i got my moneys worth. 

The sirui has been living on the e-m1 at the moment. I take both with me when i go out in the car, it sits on the front seat with a towel thrown over it. Hopefully no one works out there's $2000 worth of camera and lens just sitting there. I must be some kind of optimist as the amount of moisture that keeps falling from the sky is impressive. 

Theres a busker that sits out the front of the local supermarket some days. I'm guessing he has done some living as i think he'd make a suitable candidate for some black and white photography. He has a dog as well and i reckon i can squeeze everything into a photo with 24mm sirui. I then plan to steal, adopt, modify some ideas Mercer mentioned in the lens thread and see where that leads.  

Turns out i have crystal disk mark on the comp already. Formatted the card and a quick test gives me this. which is slightly better than advertised on the packaging. Thats with the ugreen card reader into a c port on the top of the computer.

 Its turning into a bit of a blog isnt it ? Next challenge is to shoot some video.
