Hi Frank, I noticed you have a Hudl, are they any good as I am considering getting one in the future but will probably wait for Hudl 2 due out later this year? I agree with what you say about "an uncalibrated tiny screen" but I think the op just wants to separate the wheat from the chaff...

I prefer my olive green US combat jacket plenty of pockets for grenades;) or lenses, filters etc.

Just a bog standard USB drive will do.They come in a variety of sizes and are fairly cheap or you could just get more micro SD cards to plug into the tablet as required.

Your gf might be better off with a netbook as a compromise as they have a HDD built in and full size USB ports are much more common. They are also better value for money than tablets,they also tend to have windows 8

Why not use a flash drive to upload and later transfer to Hdd? Most tablets have WiFi so you could possibly use that if you are near a hotspot then upload to the cloud.

I gave both of my lenses a try out today and the results were pretty poor as the focus was pretty soft probably because the fine focus rings in the center of the viewfinder that are present on my 35mm are absent and of course the lens adapter is a cheapy. In camera they looked ok but not on pc...

Thanks Stewart that's easy to remember.

I will have to find the time to really give them a good try out and if the results are something like, then get a better adapter.

Thank you to all of you and apologies to Stewart if my question was not clear. The lenses are k mount. I have an adapter with the correction lens to allow infinity focus. It is a cheapy off eBay but didn't want to spend a lot in case the results were poor.

So if I understand this correctly,my 28mm lens when attached to my slr is a wide angled lens but on my Nikon its field of view is narrowed to 42mm due to the crop? I just want to get some use out of them for portraits as I only have zoom lenses and cannot always get the background out of focus...

Many thanks Hoppy

I cannot help thinking your reply contradicts itself a bit and a little patronising. It is obvious the lens isn`t going to physically change its self when on a different format camera but the crop factor of the dx that results in the change. I simply wanted to know how to work it out. Oh its...

How do you work out exposure time if using more than one ND filter? for example a ND4 + ND8, do you just add them up and look for a ND12 on the exposure table? or is that too easy?

I have a couple of old lenses for my old Pentax, a 28mm and a 200mm telephoto that I have tried on my Nikon D3100 via a lens converter. I decided to try them out because my kit lens has a maximum aperture of F5.6 whereas the 200mm has F3.5 and the 28mm F1.8. Can you tell me what the actual...

Things get more capable as time goes on, I recently built a new pc to replace my 12 year old one because it could no longer keep up with higher broadband speeds or modern software. The same happens with cameras, the sensors get bigger and better and more modern internal electronics. Printers...
