Does anyone have experience with the new ilux portable flash units? Rated at 600w comes with battery built in, quite appealing at £400

Well I am soon to join this thread. Just purchased an em5,grip and 12-40 2.8. Just need to get a sd card ordered and wait for delivery :)

Hi, I'm about to downsize my kit from nikon to olympus. I currently use several sb900 strobes with yongnuo triggers. These enable me to do Hi speed sync up to 1/4000 Are there triggers that will work with the omd series? I'm thinking of getting something portable with more power like the ilux...

I am very very tempted by this. My photography consists of a bit of landscape, night time long exposures, a bit of macro and the odd studio day. With the hotshoe i can still use triggers. The specs of the camera look to be even better than my current d300. The fact i cant afford loads of lenses...

Does the rx do raw and have a standard hotshoe?

Hi, Im looking to buy a bridge camera. Looking for the best currently on the market and see so many different types. From what i can gather the Lumix dmc-fz200 is the best one? Seems to be the same as the leica v-lux4 ? Id like to be able to use triggers with the camera as well which im...

I was looking to buy the d600 in the next week or so but this thread is making me think twice!!

i have a great manfrotto that i use but it would be impossible to use at the butterfly centre i visit due to its size and how busy it gets. I may start with the 105vr and see how i get on. The raynox should still work with that lens as well. :)

Paul, that's as I understand it as well. So in order to increase magnification I would need tubes, extenders or reversing rings etc. I fear that something like a 180mm with magnification would become very hard to use (keeping subject in frame)

If you have something long like the 150 etc how do things like the extension tubes and raynox250 work? Does your working distance get shorter or is it just a magnification increase? I feel an idiot asking such simple questions but I've never used anything other than the 50mm and none of my...

thats the bit that gerts confusing. Choosing the correct focal length. Using the 50mm with the raynox means im about 2" away from the subject. Am i correct in that the magnification itself wont increase (comparing lenses) at all just the working distance?

im looking to upgrade to the d600 from my d300 for various reasons including low light performance, video etc etc. I have the nikon 24-70 as my main lens and currently use a 50mm 1.8 with raynox 250 for macro shots. I love macro, i love bugs and i love zoomed in pictures of them. So, im in...

Thanks, i was hoping they would work the the 602's as i have a whole set of them. Do 4/3 have a slow sync speed?

Ok not for magazine quality publication etc but has anyone here used a camera along the lines of the pen-1 in a studio with a trigger? If so maybe a link to some results on flikr or something? Now they are so cheap i was thinking of having a go with one as id always thought about buying a...

when a camera hits its limit and finally becomes faulty whats the sort of price for a shutter to be replaced/repaired? Im looking at the d700... one for sale is very very cheap with 115,000 shutter count.
