If I already have an existing LR/PS plan that runs until early next year, does anyone know if I can buy the 1TB LR/PS plan for the discounted £98 but not actually activate it until when my existing plan runs out. Thanks in advance.

Looks fantastic, Tobers and can't wait to see my copy when it's printed. Really surprised all the first edition hasn't been snapped up yet.

As a frequent user of Loxley, I am thinking about using Pic-Time to sell my photos. Has anyone any experience of using them and, if so, can you please let me know the pros and cons or even suggest alternatives. Thanks in advance.

As said above, get an arc compatible L bracket. I've had a Benro GD3WH for 5 years and used it extensively with the L bracket so you can instantly switch from landscape to portrait orientation. Not used it for portraits but really can't see any problem whether you are "serious" or not.

I haven't used the Nisi filter set for the X100 but did purchase the pouched set in anticipation of buying a X100. This never happened so I have a brand new, never used Nisi filter set which I can put on the classifieds if there's any interest.

Many thanks for the speedy response. Unfortunately I'm looking for the version with the drop in CPL/NDs.

TG, if you do decide to sell your H & Y holder then I'd be very interested. I've been using one for about 4 years and love it. It's a bit battered and abused now after lots of use in the moutons so keen to replace it.

Many thanks for the explanation, Jonathan. Much appreciated.

Richard, please can you just explain about the stacking. Does that mean if I buy 3 of the products, I can use them for the next 3 years?

Thanks for that. Really useful.

I've been very impressed by Benro tripods and heads. Here's a link to a review I did of their TMA28C and B1 ballhead; https://allthingscuillin.co.uk/benro-tma28c-%26-b1-review

Park by the waterworks at Belstone and walk up to the Nine Maidens stone circle and up the ridge above for good views of the moor, typical moorland scenery and good scope for sunset and or sunrise shots.

If you drive up past the army camp at Okehampton you can get right up high on the moor with good views and it's only a short walk to High Willeys and Yes Tor; ideal for scenic shots of the moor below.

Only just noticed this thread but for future reference; possibly the best view of the Cuillin Ridge at sunrise is from the summit of Sgurr na Stri. The only downside is that it is a fair walk in although I have spent the night at the bothy at Camasunary and from there you can be on the summit...

I've got a small Pro ICU which I mainly use in a FStop Satori which leaves enough space for camping/bivi gear etc and have found it to be the perfect combination for long days/multiple days in the hills and mountains. Have also used the ICU separately in a smaller Crux rucksack which works well...
