    Yeah! found some of my old film kit!

    I loved my MX , I had 2 bodies and sold all my film gear about 10 years ago, but wish I'd kept them. Brilliant camera

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    I only recently bought a R6mkII and I am still learning what this has to offer, and getting used to it. Plus I knew the mkIII was coming out when I purchased it, so I made a considered choice base on the spec and price of the mkII. (tight git) I have never felt the need to be an early adopter...

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    I was seriously looking at the R5mkii but I don't really need 45mp and the extra spec, plus the extra cost! I know there is a R6mkiii due in the near future but again felt that for the price the R6mkii is very good value for money & is a marked jump in spec from my 70d. I did also consider the...

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    New toy time folks, at least I feel as I can now join in this section of the forum. It's taken me a while to make my mind up what to get, but overall I think I will be very happy with my purchase, now just to get out and use it. My trusty old 70D will be handed down to my son , and my 16 year...

    Stupid Question

    Each to your own & I get where you are coming from. I guess that we all have different ways to save our images. You do what works for you, but for me I am glad I still have all my negatives & my fathers as well. Perhaps I'm a horder as I also still have my LP's & CD's !

    Stupid Question

    When my father died, I inherited all his negatives , slide & prints. So glad he kept them as I now have photos of him and his work from the 1940's on. Most of which I had never seen before. I have all my negatives and will never get rid of them.

    Kase magnetic Filters & Vignetting

    I'm after some advice, I know some on here use the Kase Magnetic filters? Is there a need to go up a size in filter thread to avoid vignetting? The largest filter size I have is 77mm so would that size filters be okay or should I get the 82mm and a 77-82 adaptor ? Does this happen if you only...

    Gear failure? How many have had it happen?

    Was working and then not. Carried brick around for the rest of the day. Still got it repaired and I'm still using it, but I looking to go to mirrorless with an R6mkii this year.

    Gear failure? How many have had it happen?

    My EOS70d died when I was at RIAT a few years ago. The main circuit board was faulty. Lost most of the airshow. That so far has been my only failure

    First film camera

    Look at a Pentax MX great little camera, plenty of K mount lenses still around as well. Small but very capable

    Airshow Wows !

    I still use a Canon 70d and use the centre 9 focus points. At airshows I always expect a relatively high miss rate. Panning us an art form in itself & at my recent trip to shuttleworth I felt I was very rusty as I'd not done any aircraft in flight photography for some time.

    Canon EOS R Series Cameras

    Lovely cameras but both are well beyond the spec I need and the price is way too much for me. I'm looking at getting an R6 mkii , looks like that is just the sweet spot in spec and price for me.
