As per the title, I've been a pro photographer for 5+ years and my main work setup is a GFX 100Sii and a 50Sii, plus an X-H2s and X-H2 for events etc.

And yet, every couple of weeks I start rabbit holing into a Nikon D850, since you can still buy them new for a couple grand.

For someone who has shot on both systems, is my desire rational? or just some vintage nonsense? would I get any benefit from it if I eventually caved in, if only in terms of a pleasurable experience?

Instagram propped me that place today. As a photographer, I’m always looking for sociable places to work and hang while I’m not shooting. For instance when I’m editing, or doing marketing (My current local hang would be the V-cut cigar lounge on Melrose!)The Aster advertises itself as that kind of place, and for $300/month it could be worth it… especially if you can easily use the spot to meet clients, and maybe also shoot there (thinking headshots and studio-like portraits) with no extras fees. Anyone knows anything about it? Any first hand experience?
