Photographing this orchestra is becoming a bit of a habit!Through fear of repeating my previous work, I opted to stick with an 85mm lens as my primary lens this time around. My usual 50mm go-to took a bit of a backseat. I also captured some slow-shutter shots to mix things up a bit. There may…

Audio Technica M50X vs M50XBT
A comparison rather than an independent review. When used in BT mode the M50XBTmkii sound very similar to their wired mode. In wired mode the sound is perhaps a tiny bit ‘smoother’ to my ears.
