More than good enough.

Start with M42 Mount lenses because there are lots of them and they can be very inexpensive and the M43 - M42 adapters are cheap. For a first lens pick choose an Industar 50 3.5. Russian, well built, cheap and pancake size and take it from there. Good luck.

Why not try something like a Lumix FZ38 which you can pick up on e-bay for about £50. It has a 27 - 486 zoom and is incredibly lightweight. Very impressed with mine. If it doesn't suit sell it on and probably get your money back and try something else.

Looking for batteries last night I checked out one of my favourite sellers on ebay - Boxed-to-me - who sell the EX-PRO brand and landed these: 5 x Ex-Pro Digital Camera Battery DMW-BLE9 for P@ L@ DMC-GF5 & More. Price £15.92. Also available in packs of two and three for less money.

Thank you.

Could anybody suggest a reliable CF adapter and where to purchase? Thanks.

Thank you very much. You are very kind.

I do agree re B' Roll - just get on with it. Something else that ensures I don't subscribe. The bottom line with youtube videos is that they are like anything put out for general consumption be that art in general, photos or mass produced items, done well there is nothing superfluous. Drew...

I will not subscribe to any tuber who insists on muzak behind their voiceover and I usually let them know in the comments. In fact if it starts with muzak and the muzak hasn't ended after a minute I click away. Monica Brandstein is very interesting. Chris Baitson for M4/3.

I have bought some VHBW batteries in the past and from 'electro-papa.' Absolute rubbish, particularly the Panasonic versions.

Can a basic DSLR set-up be had for thirty quid? Yes it can. Last week I ordered a Canon 400D for £19 followed by an 18-55 lens (MK I) for £9 pounds from Park. Both camera and lens were described as 'Good.' On the Wex scale they would have both scored '8's. I cannot fault the company. Order to...

7 Day Shop are good or 'my memory.'

My Memory and 7 Day Shop - no failures to date. My Memory have been terrific and the prices are excellent.
