I have my trusty Nikon D700 and a fat bag of decent Nikon glass but nowadays it rarely sees the light of day unless I want to use my 60mm macro. My days of lugging heavy Nikon gear around are long gone and are not missed although I would never part with the kit. Now I like to travel much lighter...

RIP David and thank you!

Thanks for that Chris, just bought hood and cap for £5.95 arriving Saturday! I have already put a UV filter on mine so the lens is protected. I do like my filters/hoods etc! Have done some comparison shots with my trusty X100T and the X-E4 scrubs up pretty well, although I preferred the layout...

Having moved from Nikon, I now have several Fuji cameras and lenses and have been very happy with the brand. I have just got this X-E4 kit and so far I am reasonably happy with it, except for the annoying penny-pinching decision by some Fuji Einstein not to include the small lens hood. Yes, it...

I have more cameras than you can shake a stick at and one of my favourites is my X100T. Fabulous build quality, superb colours and comfortable to carry, admittedly not as sharp as my Sony RX1 but it is a question of settings as at f4-F5.6 there is little discernible difference. For what they...

Best news! Thanks to Marcel, all of the mods who give their time and thanks to the members, whome I have learned plenty from!:ty:

Very sorry to hear this, I have always thought that Marcel and the mods with their ‘no excessive nonsense’ approach have delivered a forum that is stable and professional. Times change, as do circumstances for people and that is easy to understand. If the forum continues and a subscription model...

Browser for me which works fine, I don’t want or need any alternative, particularly any reputedly ‘klunky’ alternative with a cost attached to it!

Tried it once. As other members say, it is too clunky so I can’t be bothered with it and I have no reason to try it again.

I would comment that when I used to be into Nikon DX, the 35mm f1.8 Nikon was one of the sharpest lenses I have ever had.

Having been a Nikon camera user for the last 35 years, Nikon are continuing to lose their way IMHO. I remember a time when the announcement of new Nikon products was exciting but that seems to have gone as the new Z stuff leaves me stone cold and that comment also very much applies to their...

My days of humping heavy DSLR kit around the world are over and I am not sorry! Travelling is bliss these days( photography wise!) as I have a choice of high-end delightfully portable compact cameras to choose from. My favourite is my Sony RX100V which is sooooooooo compact and very versatile...

Great service from LCE Kipax. I look in the Kenilworth branch from time to time and there are occasional bargains like a minty electronic viewfinder( FDA-EV1MK) for my RX1 for a ton! Also the guys in there really know what they are talking about. Only small neg I would offer is that they can be...

Ok, fair comment, particularly the ‘not everybody claims’ which I am sure their beanies rely on percentagewise.

Nobody is suggesting it is hard to apply, what I do not like is the subtle obstacles put in your way and delays in processing valid applications once the return window has passed. Manufacturers outsourcing the cashback process does not exactly make it user friendly and as I said before, if they...
