Thanks for all the replies and advice guys. My new 410 just arrived :) looking forward to trying it out later tonight!

From my signature:

410 is the alternative I'm considering at the moment. I've just been watching videos about the XPRO and they are quite scathing to be honest. Lots off issues with them. The 400 looked too big for my purposes and didn't have quick release. I had a look at the C1 Cube earlier, I saw the price tag...

Hi All Looking to get a new tripod head soon. I currently have a Manfrotto 460MG. Looking to get one a bit more precise with a quick release function and micro adjustments. I do architectural photography professionally so independent 3 axis movement and spirit level is a must (vertical as...

I've been looking at ND filters for my 24-70 II and 16-35 II (both 82mm filter size thankfully). Any suggestions? It's for professional architectural work mainly to help blur people walking in bright external shots. I'd seen a Gobe NDX variable filter on the jungle, anyone had any experience...

+1 for photomatrix. I use it for work and it's great. Takes a bit of getting used to though, have a look at tutorials if you get it.

It illustrates what was being discussed in the thread. Maybe read the whole thread rather than just the OP?

The 5DR will give greater detail than the 5DS but will exhibit more Moire patterns on certain things such as closely woven/patterned cloth or certain patterns in nature...

Looking to get two copies of a piece of vector art I've done printed on matte paper. The image is 210mmx210mm 300dpi. Any suggestions on where's best to get them printed and back in time for Christmas? Thanks.

Isn't that #Rochester? ;)

Someone who lives round the corner from me has (clearly from the noise) bought a Harley Davidson chopper this year. If you think fireworks are annoying, trying living near one of those. I'd love it to be 10/365 days a year, if only. Before they ban fireworks they should ban choppers. There is...

That was the joke... ;)

The more 'PC' term now is developing nation apparently... While I agree fireworks can be dangerous in the wrong hands, you could say that about a hell of a lot of things... vehicles for instance. They make plenty of noise and disturb more people than fireworks and cause a lot more deaths...

Can anyone recommend a good flash bracket for portrait/macro work? I already have a ST-E2 and 2x 580 exii to go with my 5dii. A bracket that could vary between one and two flashes (one each side of the body) would be useful for macro. I didn't know if I'd have to get a single and a double...
