  Yay, instant like! Ok, as requested, the cafe Chris is talking about in Prague was probably DABOV, but we also visited EMA, and my video about EMA is being posted this coming Tuesday! The one Jordan's talking about in Japan is sadly no longer there. It was in Omotesando and is now an Izakaya restaurant called Nakanishi, although we also visited nearby Cafe Kitsune afterwards. If you're in this area, my current favourite Koffee Mameya is the one to go to, and my review of it is already live on my new channel! Yeah, some people remember their favourite team's scores over past seasons. I remember speciality coffee shops! Thanks for having me on guys, always a pleasure! And thanks for letting me talk (at length!) my new coffee channel, as well as your very kind intro! As a special stretch bonus to celebrate, I'll be posting twice a week for the first two months, then weekly afterwards! And of course I'll keep doing the new camera gear reviews! Today's review? Reykjavic Roasters in Iceland! All at GordonGetsCoffee !!!

  I think the criticism of cameras that emphasize utility over being &nbsp;“interesting” is a perspective that is unique to reviewers. Most of us want cameras that are interesting AND work reliably.

  I think you&apos;re going to need to start including some of the budget lens manufacturers soon like Viltrox, TTArtisan, and Sirui in future reviews. I don&apos;t own any of their lenses currently - but they are becoming harder and harder to ignore.

  As a Nikon user, I think Sony deserves a certain degree of credit for producing lenses that do what serious users expect at just 60 percent of the weight. A two-pound 70-200/2.8 that doesn&apos;t make compromises on handling and weather sealing; a three-pound 300/2.8; a 20/1.8 that goes toe-to-toe with Nikon&apos;s gem of a 20mm lens but at half the size -- this is seriously useful stuff. What got my attention was picking up a friend&apos;s Sony camera with attached 70-200/2.8 OSS this past winter and almost fumbling it because it was close to two pounds less weight than I was expecting.

  Yay Gordon, my favorite guest!<br>I think it&apos;s time to add Viltrox and Laowa to the list. One could say they bring more excitement to the industry than Tamron, for example.

  Yes, lumix/L-mount needs some small/tiny AF lenses.
