I always used to shoot RAW then shot film and have moved to Jpg for digital. It does depend on what type of photography people do but for me Jpg is just fine.

Very true but as you say there is a huge amount of used lenses out there going back to the beginning of time :LOL:

Samyang are amazing value. I have a few 7Artisans lenses for my Fuji and they are good too. I don't think they do Nikon F mount though which is a bit of a bummer!! LOL

Too slow typing!! LOL I have had a couple Samyang lenses in the past and they have been brilliant. I'm glad the 85mm works well as that is another focal length I want. May look at the 35mm f1.4 for general shooting!!!! Thank you for the effort you have put in!!

OK, I still don't know which lens was used on which camera apart from the middle one. I'm stunned at how good the other two are. So what lens was used for the 1st and 3rd images?

Without looking at the flikr page I really could not say which is which. I do however like the rendering of each one as it suites each subject. The top one looks spot on with sharpness. The middle is very sofy but looks amazing as it has more 'feel' to it and the bottom one looks too sharp and...

I have been seeing some images that look like medium format and was suprised when i found the image was taken by a Contax G2 with their Zeiss lens. And that's another thing...... I do find the quality of images differ hugely, so much more than digital. When looking at digital images on flickr...

Thanks everyone, much appreciated. So Zeiss and Voigtlander aside, what 35mm would you reccomend to go with the 50mm f1.4D? I have had a Nikon 35mm f2D before which was pretty good. How about the 35mm f1.4D? I will be getting the 28mm f2.8 AIs at some pount.

Hi all I want a 35mm f2 or f1.4 for my Nikon FM2n. I know there are plenty of Nikon lenses that would work but I was thinking of going mad and getting somethig like a Zeiss Distagon or Milvus to go on it instead. So a few questions. 1: Would one of the ZF.2 lenses work. I'm guessing they will...

as above i think. simple process. Weirdly my old printer has started working again! Bloody technology :D

I done it!!! Wahey. I downloaded some software from HP and it did the rest. I feel al bit of a knob now! :LOL: Thanks for all the advice peeps :)

My PC is in my office and the printer is in the dining room. No chance to get a cable that long....:( I'll see if there is any software to install from the site. Hopefully that will work (y)

Hi All Hope you can help. My printer has packed up. I only use it to print text mostly and some odd photos here and there. My wife has a HP wireless laserjet printer which she used for work. I thought i would not get another printer and use the HP for document printing and get photos printed...

I have just bought a Samsung tab S7+ 12.4 inch tablet. This is to replace my iPad Air which has been great but not good enough or quite big enough to run as a main editing machine. The tab 7+ has such a nice screen that it could possibly do as an editing computer. I have wanted to live a tablet...
