Hello, I would like to regain my access if possible please :) Looking to have a clear-out of kit and I really would prefer to deal with everyone on here before I tread the waters on ebay etc. Its been a while since I posted much but am a working pro in motorsport. Thanks in advance!

Hoping its ok to post here, but ive just listed my Q2 for sale over in the For Sale Area :)

I used a 7d in the WSB shots, amd a mix of 7d and 1d4 for the BSB ones.

I shot Donny through the fence with a 120-300 last year. Only a few examples here but might help http://www.polarityphoto.co.uk/World-Superbike-Donnington-Par/ As Az_Gti says coppice over the crest is nice and not shown in my link above. Also if you can get there early try the exit of the...

Thanks thats helpful. It will be for quick editing (composition, cropping, exposure, colours, highlights, shadows etc. Possibly a small amount of brush work but noy very often) Are the sliders big enough? Do you habr any space issues at all? And do you find it has enough grunt to deal with...

Still not sure what to do! Ive tried 3 apple stores and played with both the 13 and 15 but I cant tell if 13 is big enough until I can use lightoom on it! Anyone else use a 13 retina for editing?

That sounds like a similar use to me. Need for when im back in the media centre. It will be import, sort, basic processing in lightroom, send to editor and get back out on track. Shame I cant get access to a 13" with lightroom and actually use it myself before buying

What I need is to be able to edit while in the media centre at a race track, get in quick, download, edit, send to editor, get out on track again. Then in the evenings I want to edit in from my hotel. Theres no way im carting an external display around the country. Its not practical and not...

Yeh thats what im worried about. Any other views? People who use the retina 13?

Yes I agree, but external display is not an option for me and for others who need to edit on the go. I think its a shame there isnt more available in that bracket

But the air doesnt use the same resolution as the retina. Or do you think its still an issue?

Actually I think it depends on whether you can find anything to match it. I know there are some new contenders coming out (zenbook, new xps 15 etc) however they are brand new and still command silly money. Plus they dont touch the mbp for battery life. In my budget (under 1k) im looking 2nd...

Im trying to source a decent laptop for editing photos on the go using lightroom. I dont care if its windows or osx, just want something powerful enough, that has a decent panel, colours and res. Ive found a complete lack of anything suitable in the windows world so have been looking at...

In the PC world, I think its personal preference and budget. In the mobile world I think its different. Ive been looking for a photo editing laptop and im finding it hard not to go for a Macbook retina because of the lack of decent panels on windows laptops. Unless im doing something wrong...

Hmm the Tamron does add some confusion into the mix! Does it really compare with the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 ? Which from what I can tell seems to be a very well made, quality, sharp lens. Or does it really compare to the the Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 ? I dont want to be a snob, and would be willing to go...
