thanks guys but already gone with a philips BDM3270QP 32" 2560x1440QHD it had a pretty good review of colour accuracy and screen uniformity, its not for gaming so input lag,etc doesnt interest me,i just want to get what i see when printed the same as what i am seeing on the screen,Getting my...

hi guys, i am Currently using a panasonic 50" ax802b 4k tv as my pc monitor, now I want to know if it is possible for it to be calibrated to srgb or rgb ? , failing that i could possibly buy a smaller "27 or 30" monitor and get shut of the spare tv..i have seen a 40" phillps 4k monitor for...

me again:-) ,just a bit of an update, I have already sent the canon 600ex-rt back, its far too big and heavy to use on camera for me, will look into something else for that purpose. the yn-st-e3 should arrive tomorrow so that will do the job of triggering the flashes. i did try the yn600,s as...

yea i know what your saying is the intelligent way to go since its only about £50 quid but i couldn`t resist the canon 600rt for only £50 more than the two yongnuos, and would definately prefer the canon for on camera use. but I did take your advice with 2 yongnuo 600s and a st3 , its only one...

would a canon 600rt be a good choice for the master, with 2 yongnuo 600rt,s, and a yongnuo st3 trigger i,m thinking i could always use the canon 600rt on camera for partiesetc , and with 3 guns i could use one for lighting backgrounds or hairlights. Mike p:s i got a pretty good price on the 3...

hi, I hope someone can give me a bit of advice, recently purchased a canon 80d and was thinking of trying out some cheapish flashguns(neweer/younguo etc.I am unsure as to which would be compatible with the 80d in maybe a 3-4 gun set-up for home portraiture. or if I can just have one ettl master...

sorry to have caused you all so much anguish;) . as i said, i will be keeping the crop for sports, the grandkids and macro, and a FF body will come later , after i have built up a few lenses like maybe a 70-200 2.8 mkii , a top 50mm and a decent wide angle all will be L lenses or equivalent...

well all,s well that ends well:) , I have tried the 80d out with the 100mm macro, and I do like it, build is`nt up to 7d/5d standards but im not worried its gonna fall apart, images are quite good, the articulated screen is definately a useful thing and surprisingly the touch screen makes things...

well gone and done it now, will give it a whirl and see how it performs, must keep an open mind, ive never heard of a d750:banghead:

thanks again guys, all solid info and advice, leading me to definately go with a crop body, now just got to decide between the 7dII or the 80D , my thinking being the articulated screen could make macro a bit easier with checking focus, etc. Cheers Mike

i was in no way implying I was talented enough to get the best out of it either:), was just curious as to whether a crop sensor though filled easier with a subject, or a ff sensor though subject may not fill the whole frame but with larger pixels that I could crop and maybe get a better sharper...

thanks for the all the reply,s, concensus seems that a crop sensor looks the way to go, So will probably go with another 7d mkii with an EF100mm 2.8L macro just to get me on the right path, one question though, will the 7d2 sensor be able to get the best out of that lens?, because of the...

Hi, I need some solid advice as to which type of camera would suit me best for my type of usage, i mainly shoot pics of my grandkids, both portraits and at play, i have also dabbled in macro (and enjoy the challenge).and am hoping to go to some motor racing events this year. I am without a...

Hi, guys and gals, Manchester here. Decided it was time to try to get some help with my incessant changing of equipment and lack of real talent, so finally registered here, I am a member of another forum, but was directed here as being another very good source of information and experience...
