OT for lack of Pentax Content. Both shot with the X-T5 and the
surprisingly good Viltrox 75/1.2
On Jan 7th, we lost our Rottie (my Sherpa) to liver cancer. Far too
young, she didn't quite make 8.
We really like having 2 dogs and we wanted to go for something smaller
but still robust enough to make itself useful. After a few weeks of
scouring dog rescues in the area we found a fun sized Mastiff cross.
She is really sweet, cuddly, and very calm. At 9 months of age she
weighs in at a little under 30kg, hence the fun sized designation. We
figure she will end up being about a 2/3 sized scale model of a Mastiff.
Meet Luna:
Enjoy

So, what use will she have? Carry your camera bag? :-)

She isn't as robust as my previous 2 Sherpas. Jester was quite happy
carrying over 10kg of gear in saddlebags, but he was a 55kg powerhouse.
I suspect her weight limit will be half of what the bug could haul,
though I could be wrong about how big she is going to get, so that
number might increase depending on the next 6 to 8 months and how she
turns out. She won't really hit her full growth for about a year.
The link is a picture of Jester carrying 4 or so lenses, including an
80-200/2.8 as well as water and snacks for a day hike. He loved doing
that kind of stuff. Dogs are incredibly useful as hiking companions.
They can carry stuff and bears tend to avoid them.
