Doh! Silly me, I see that price check forum now. Thanks.

Hi guys. I'm about to sell a 5D Mk2 with a couple of lenses and bits and pieces. I'm not really sure what price I could be asking for. Am I allowed to ask here what the overall price should be if I post photos?

I've just come out of Park Cameras in Rathbone Place where I'd placed my pre-order of the X100VI. I've had a good hands on with the camera and I'm pleased that the grip is ok. It's slightly less pronounced than my Ricoh but I think it'll be fine. The shutter button didn't give much tactile...

Couldn't reply yesterday, the forum seemed to be down. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind about the o- ring! Not sure if I fancy a gold or silver one at the moment but either would look great. I might decide I'm happy enough with the default button and I'll hopefully know tomorrow or Saturday when I...

Nice! I'll definitely consider buying that. Did you find the default grip a bit difficult/uncomfortable to hold? I've got a shopping list of accessories I want. One of those silver square shaped lens hoods, a screw in shutter button and a thin tan strap which will probably come to around £100...

Thanks for the replies @ Dryce, Mr Perceptive, gad-westy, Cuchulainn. I think that's a really good point paying the extra £100 in order to get a valid UK warranty, so yes, I'll skip a grey import this time. I watched a youtube review the other day where the reviewer had bought the silver...

Hi guys. Haven't posted at TP for ages. I've recently become seriously interested in buying a Fujifilm camera and having done a bit of research on various models, I think the X100vi is the one for me. I think I'll go for the silver as all my cameras are black and I really like the way Fuji looks...

Hi guys. Bringing up a rather old topic! I did my Will, ended up going with Co-op legal as it was £99. That's all done and dusted now. I've also bought lasting power of attorney just for the financial side of things. I got a couple of family members to sign as attorneys and one close friend of...

No. Long lenses are for paparazzi, voyeurs and wildlife photographers. 24, 28, 35, 40, 50mm are the best and most commonly used for street. Wider is better such as 28mm. It forces you to get closer and teaches you to find interesting compositions and framing in just a few moments with no need to...

Steven, that's all fair comment. And I must admit, I can never understand why some art gets sold for millions or becomes popular and famous, such as Tracy Emins 'Unmade Bed' or the 'Pile Of Bricks' that I think was at the Tate. To me it's pretentious nonsense. On the other hand there might be...

Sorry Toni, if it's ok I'm just posting this response to Cockney and I'm done for tonight. I think I've kept it civil. :) I took a good enough look at his picture to make points that didn't even occur to you. All you were concerned with was the pole not being straight and some details you...

Are you trying to troll me mate? Looks that way. Seems you've decided you don't like me so you've made ignorant comments to me here. And I see you went into the street photos forum and posted a comment to me in Bill_N33s Tokyo thread about it not being a train and 3 passengers but it's in fact a...

Ok. :LOL:

Admittedly not the best example I could have posted given that most of the people posting in this discussion don't even practise or care that much for street photography.
