Yesterday I went out for a walk, the a bag packed with a 50mm lens. Or so i thought, it was actually a 29mm lens!
Maybe this happens a lot when the collection reaches a certain point Laughing


The suspects.


But the day was far from lost!

Most days I go for a walk for at least a couple of hours and always take my camera and some lenses, but some days I stick a pin in my list of lenses, and that's the lens I take and use. I do take other lenses, but I make a point of using the random chosen lens if I possibly can. I mount the lens on the camera before I leave the house and the plan is to return with it still in place and not having changed it once.
It's interesting when I get to carry a Tair 300 around the woods on a wet and windy day, but it's very rare I don't get at least one good picture.

Seems to be a good way to keep one self and the equipment exercised!

Cheers!

I've had that issue with my FD SSC lenses, the 24/2.8, 50/1.4, & 85/1.8 are all almost identical in size.

I figured it must have happened to others as well. It was brave to come forth Very Happy

Never happened to me, but just as bad, I've left the battery in the charger a few times instead haha!

Good thing with the a7, both battery and card never leaves the camera.

Depends on the routine, I use both an external charger and a card reader for my A7 II Wink
And yes, I have forgot to put them back in, so my prosedure may not be the best Laughing

Confusion happens. I once read a story about a photographer who entered the dark room to develop a 120 film. After an hour of work, the guy turned on the light just to find that he had thrown the film on the floor and "developed" the paper! Laughing

Uhhh. Rolled in an E6-slide film and a C41 color negative film in two separate tanks, but when the light was on, forgot which tank had which. Took a guess, with only one of them of course. I was lucky Smile
