I bought a sigma 50mm 1.4, loved the picture it could take but just didn't find it very practical for indoor use as its more like a 75mm on a DX sensor. After 12 months I decided to buy the Nikon 35mm 1.8 and loved it, small, light weight and great as a walk around lens. I now own a Tamron...

I might be completely wrong but I wouldn't have thought there was a hard and fast way to fix the problem as it will all depend on the original image and amount of noise recorded. Personally I try to keep the ISO as low as possible to reduce the noise on the original image and then make minor...

Something to check if you are going to use you household insurance is the single item limit and what they class as a single item. When querying this with my insurance company they classed the lens as a camera accessory and therefore the camera and any lenses on the claim would be classed as a...

Thanks for the suggestion, ideally i want a backpack tho. Just believe it will be more practical for days out etc.

Just spoken to 3 legged thing customer service, monopods due in the country mid may, apparently the 5 section carbon finer monopod is around £120.

what happened to the 3 Legged Thing Bob X1LT? apparently first available on amazon back in April 2011

Thanks I will keep an eye out for them

Need recommendations on a small light weight monopod for traveling, budget £100. I was looking at the manfrotto 294 carbon fiber but after using the aluminium version version I am not convinced with the leg locking mechanism, with 3kg of camera/lens and a little pressure from holding the...

I am looking for a new camera bag big enough to hold the following: D7000 with a sigma 50-500 attached D5000 with a tamron 17-50 attached spare batteries Memory cards Mono pod cleaning cloths etc It also needs to be within the hand luggage restrictions, now have short listed a...

I believe the picture says a lot about a seller, if they can't be bothered to publish a reasonable photo of the item what else cant they be bothered with? looking after it?

I was planning to keep it covered as much as possible but was hoping to find some sort of cover that fitted to the lens without interfering with its usability. I am probably worrying about it to much, I am sure I can keep it clean by not taking it out of the bag but that would spoil the point...

No worries, with all of the shops disappearing I cant find anyone with a reasonable selection in stock. I am about 20 mins from Cardiff

Out of interest how did you get on? I am currently looking for a bag that will hold 2 cameras with lenses fitted, 1 with a sigma 50-500 and the other with a small zoom. I liked the look of the vertex 100 but wasn't sure if both cameras would fit. Thanks

Does anyone have any advice/recommendations on dust covers for a sigma 50-500? I am off to Kenya soon and trying to work out the best way to protect the lens from the dust, I will be taking 2 camera’s and don’t plan on removing the lens from the body I also have a large microfiber cloth and...

I bought one a while back and used it a few times for waterfalls etc but noticed a dark cross appearing as I got towards the max setting.
