  1. Since I’m going to Spain soon, I wanted a light and effective way to back up my SD cards every day during the trip. There were some old and no longer available devices on the market, but all had limited capacity and rather expensive... or bulky. I came across a neat project that uses a Raspberry Pi zero 2 (this is a much faster version of the old Pi zero) and also supports Wi-Fi. I made one, designed a custom case for it that I 3D printed (I have files for anyone that wants to to this project), and can say it works extremely well. The device is extremely simple, plug in a target storage device (in the pictures I have an extremely tiny crucial 4 terabyte ssd drive - the square thing), plug in a card reader (in the picture it’s that very compact usb stick so no cables needed), and it will automatically back up what’s on the SD card. It won’t overwrite files, only add new ones, and recognizes different SD cards so it makes separate folders for each unique SD card. It has a screen that shows transfer status, and while idle shows you the ip address so you can log into it with a phone and web browser. The thing is, with a portable battery, you can do this without even being near an outlet, and entirely in the field or on the go. pics Lens cap for scale here’s some screen shots if you want to log in You can also get thumbnails of images, but that takes way too long to generate, so I leave that function off the project can be found here - https://github.com/outdoorbits/little-backup-box the hardware portion isn’t entirely concise, if if people make this for themselves I can share what I got and from where. The main parts list are: raspberry Pi zero 2 four port usb hat - https://www.adafruit.com/product/3298?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlPWgBhDHARIsAH2xdNdICMYNwWVgb1i4BRLETI_8Mrep_RZf8hiQgtu4lT8W80hEM3GsQvEaAlU1EALw_wcB and the OLED display (make sure if you get it from adafruit to get the pigtail connector) - https://www.adafruit.com/product/938 the best thing is, you can use any low power ssd storage drive, and if you need more space, just get more drives. for the usb card reader, I got this, that’s in the image - SD Card Reader, uni USB SD Card... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087QG75L7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share for the large storage I am using this - Crucial X6 4TB Portable SSD – Up... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W1KDM9K?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I hope this helps someone looking for an on the road backup solution, and is a tinkerer like me.
  2. I want to purchase a lens to expand the reach of my Fuji kit without adding a lot of weight to what I carry when traveling. I am looking at the 18-135 mm lens or 55-200 mm lens. Or I may put this off and wait for some new lens from Fuji. I currently have the Fuji X-T2 camera body and these lenses: 18-55 mm f/2.8-4 kit lens 35 mm f/2 lens 10-24 mm f/4 wide angle lens I have read mixed reviews of the 18-135 mm lens, especially when paired with the X-T2. The advantage of getting the 18-135 lens would be the freedom to take this lens with either the wide angle or 35 mm for a lighter travel kit. If I buy the 55-200mm, I might end up carrying the 18-55, 55-200 and the wide angle lens (since I like to shoot landscapes). I am used to using a Canon camera with a variety of lenses. I have the Canon 70D and 4ti camera bodies with an array of lenses. The lenses I tend to use most often are: 18-135 mm STM 10-18 mm or 10-22 mm 28 mm But when I want to photograph wildlife or BIF - or isolate elements of a landscape - I like using my 70-300mm lens or the newer Tamron 18-270 mm lens. I am going to be traveling in Europe for several weeks and part of that time will be on a river cruise where I need to carry whatever photography gear I want to use in port. My current solution has been to take the Fuji and one of the Canon cameras, keeping a lens with longer reach on the Canon. Any suggestions from people who have used the 18-135 mm and/or 55-200 mm lens? Thank you in advance! (I should perhaps add that I shoot RAW and jpg, so I am willing to do some post processing on the Fuji images but haven't felt the need to do much with the jpg files yet.)
