I was bored and decided to install Mint on an old late 2012 MacBook Pro retina. I set it up dual boot macOS and Mint. I’m well impressed, it was a very easy install, Mint looks and runs a dream. Only problem is I can’t find a driver for the integrated nvidia GT650. Video runs poorly, I’m hoping...

I'm not sure if this is street, but I'll post it anyway. I was in The Ol' beautiful taproom in Inglewood Alberta enjoying a few beers and seen how the sun was shining through the bar, and thought that would be a nice shot. I didn't have my camera with me, so I used my iPhone 11. I'm very pleased...

Having owned all the X100 range up to the X100F I found them to be lovely cameras, but the fixed lens for me was a major issue, I bought the WCL and TCL conversion lenses but it was such a faff fitting them I ended up not even bothering. They also make the camera very front heavy. I bought an...

Jeez dude you’ve ruined my weekend. I’ve an X-E5 coming next week. I wanted a small lightweight travel camera with the 40mpx sensor and ibis. Is it really that bad ? I’ve sold all my Fuji cameras, X-pro 3 X-T3 X-S20. Just keeping my all time favourite X-Pro 2. I’ll give it a go when it arrives...

Bill Evan’s- Interplay

I’ve used MPB quite a few times and have always had an excellent experience, the last transaction was for Canon M50 and a Fuji X-Pro 1, after they received the cameras they increased the offer ! I advertised them here, as I always do, but some people unrealistically want to pay the same as MPB...

I’ve been using a 512Gb micro SD in my Fiio M11 for 18 months almost everyday. It was the biggest available at the time so I’d have no problem using a 1Tb.

That’s the bottom line ultimately for us all, morality is for most of us, most of the time, an abstract concept. The reality is this is a dog eat dog world, more so now than in the past. Jeez I’m getting very cynical in my old age

Can you honestly say that you haven't bought something, be it trainers or clothing that wasn't produced in an exploitative sweatshop in Bangladesh or Vietnam ? Was your (somewhat tortured ) decision to purchase said articles based on morality, or cost ?

Again, once our elected representatives set an example, then I for one will be happy to follow, its not gonna happen though .

I think the morality argument would be valid if we had a moral government which were beyond reproach on all things moral. As always it’s the working sods that pay their taxes, whereas our leaders continually have their snouts in the trough and look after their cronies, much to the detriment of...

If it was me I’d try and pick up a cheap Fuji XE-2 or 3 and a used 18-55mm, you’d probably get the combo for around £500-600. You’d get really excellent shots in a fairly compact package.

Around 50 years for me. Joined the school camera club when I was 12, saved like a maniac and bought my pride and joy, a Zorki 4K and that was me hooked !

Excellent news, the loss of this forum would’ve been a massive blow. Good luck and deepest appreciation to the new team
