If I was just going to be using primes my MFT outfit would made up of my lumix 15mm 1.7 25mm 1.4 and marco 45mm 2.8 along with my G80 of course :) I can fit all that in to a small shoulder bag or half camera backpack with room to spare

It is something that I have been looking at the moment as well currently have a WD 8TB My book Duo set up set up in a RAD 1 so two 4TB mirror drives which is currently just over 80% full. I have been trying to decide if just to get another drive to plug into it and just carry on another 8TB or...

Don't shoot film now, still have my film cameras though but like a majority kept all my negatives 7 files all full of sheets, just easier to keep all. Slides were slightly different but still kept most of them only dumped really badly exposed or focused again they are all stored suspension files...

My first "proper" camera was a Pentax ME supper in the mid 80's When I moved to auto focus I moved to Canon. But loved them I ended up with 2 bodies silver and black. The sliver had B&W film and the other slide. Took over my Dad's MX sometimes too.

Looking at your photos it does look like it is missing, I changed the screen on my 5D I might still have it laying around I will check and let you know if you are interested.

If you taking photos for a living then yes two card slots, other wise I think it is a nice to have. I never had a camera with two slots not saying I won't get one but don't think it would be a major deciding factor when buying. I have had a problem with a CF card once right at the start of the...

Just to add my 2 p worth it is a lot easier to use an L bracket as it helps to keep the camera over the centre of the tripod I have a similar one to the one in the link above properly made in the same factory in China and just renamed. It all depends on how critical the stitching needs to if it...

I have and use both full frame, Canon D5mk2 and m4/3 currently Panasonic G80. Not printed any thing big yet on properly not really likely too I have been using the m4/3 more and more as just easier to carry around and if you got a whole lot of family stuff as well it would make it easier. Not...

I have been thinking about looking at different options too. As quite a few have said take lots of cards. I have also looked at the WD wireless pro, a bit expensive but an nice all in one solution, just use a smart phone or tablet if you want to view the files. The third option which works out a...

I have owned a few bags as my equipment as grown. I have a Tenba min messenger that I still use a bit and lowpro BP protactic 250both of which can hold all my gear. Which consists of lumix G80, 12-60, 45-150, 45mm macro, 20mm oly 9-18 and samyang 7.5 mm spare batteries and a few filters. The...

I have watched a few of his videos sometimes a bit OTT for me. Not got a drone yet but is on my wish list

I was thinking of buying new as had problems before when getting something "certified refurbished" before. Plan on just having programs on the laptop and store all photos on a separate drive like I do now, so as long as a 128 GB is going to give enough space for operating system and software...

I know this going slightly off topic, I am looking to replace my laptop, I do my main editing on my desk top but just want laptop for when away and so forth. I was thinking about getting one with 8 GB RAM i5 processor. I don't want to spend too much ideally no more then £500 would one with 128...

I have recently got myself the Capture Module pro although not yet had the chance to test it out Hoping to try and do some high speed stuff popping balloons and so forth and maybe set it up as a trigger if I get some birds nesting in our bird box again this year. Just got every thing paired up...

I have used both lenses while the canon might be lightly better the sigma is a very capable lens I got mine when I was on a crop sensor Canon 10D but have used it on both 5D and Mk2 and been happy with the results only printed up to A4 but happy and looks good on my 23" monitor
