Holkham beach is fantastic as is Wells. If you go further around the coast to Hunstanton you can get sunset as you can face west into the wash. You can go right along that coast and there are little fishing villages all along so plenty of opportunities for little boats on the marshes etc. There...

I'm after better quality ideally. I've had a 17-40 and its a great lens but 2.8 is what I'd be after really. Having read a lot of reviews I'm not that sure the 16-35 represents value for money when compared with the 17-40. I could perhaps look at a 35mm as on a FF there would be a...

Have you looked at the ThinkTank Retrospective's?

As the title suggest I'm looking to try a Canon wide angle prime. I've done the 24-105 thing and want better quality but I don't want the weight of the 24-70. Has anyone got any experience of the 24mm f1.4 or even the Zeiss 21mm?

Didn't they have to change the name to 8 Ball because the last name had a logo which was identical to Harrods?

I'd be careful in Jaywick!!:eek:

Thanks Ian, I work in London so I will pop over there.

I'm looking for a Leica compact probably the V-Lux 20 and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for where is best to get them possibly second hand

Generally people at boot sales have got a mindset of spending as little as possible and a lot of the fun seems to be pointless haggling over 5p. Country shows, local art fairs etc are a different kettle of fish entirely and people seem to be much more inclined to put their hand in their pocket.

I've been given 190PROB tripod and am looking for a suitable tripod head for macro work. It will be holding up a 5D and Canon 100mm lens. I've got the 488RCO on my 55PROB tripod but don't find it that good for macro. Can anyone recommend a head that they use.

That was my first thought but it didn't work at all

Brilliant, thanks guys

I noticed my Hoya CPL had greasy smudges on it today. Is there any particular way they should be cleaned or will it be ok to do it with a bit of lens cleaning fluid and cloth?

My iMac seems to have a bit of a problem in that it's become a bit hit & miss playing videos. When I go onto YouTube it won't load the chosen video and there's no way of playing it. It doesn't just apply to YouTube but pretty much any video content. I have to restart the computer to get it...
