    Lens Choice

    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...

    Photoshop/Camera RAW editing.

    best insurance company for camera equipment

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...

    Dust covers for Zoom lens
