I have had my 6D now for about 8 months and bought it with the 24-105 lens and it hardly leaves the camera even though I have several other great lenses. Brilliant for landscape unless you want super wide, great for portraits. I'm sure you wouldn't be dissapointed.

I have just started getting back into film photography and have bought a Leica M3 that needs some attention. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for repair agents in the uk. East Anglia or East Midlands would be helpful but not essential. Thanks in advance for any help. Chris

I have had my 6D for a few months now and love it. The spare battery I bought was a hahnel HL-E6 which works fine, holds charge well and shows battery level in camera plus a lot cheaper the the official Canon one.

I have had my 6D for about a month now and love it, it feels really solid compared to my 450D the controls are very intuitive and the wifi has proved useful on quite a few occasion for reviewing or live view on my tablet. My main concern was over the focusing issues voiced by other users, but...

Finally picked up my 6D with 24-105mm from WEX yesterday, So far I'm impressed, wifi worked great with my Nexus 7 tablet, GPS found my position. First shots at high ISO very good. Focus very fast with centre point. Controls very intuitive. My biggest problem was putting the strap on and getting...

Calzor. Yes that's the one. I have the one shown in the link but missed the first of the new version. Dave. I am without any apple i-products by choice but thanks for the idea. Thanks for all your replies. All the best Chris

I have just found this magazine and bought issue 2, I unfortunately missed issue 1 with a samurai sword wielding lady on the front. I have tried Archant the publishers but they have no back issues left. Also no joy on ebay. Is there anyone who has a copy they no longer want, that they would...

Tim, I am in exactly the same boat, I do like my 450D but the low light is not brilliant. I keep watching Amazon etc for 5DMk2 price drops but also Canon rumours for the new 650d and 7DMk2. They can't come quick enough as I am off to Skye in June and want some new kit to take with me...

As I will not be able to afford the new 5DMk3, I am hoping to pick up a new 5DMk2 when the prices drop a little further. One of my good friends already has a 5DMk2 but has a lot of problems with dust and other stuff on his sensor, having to get it cleaned often. This is putting me off...

Once you decide on a paper that sounds right where is the best place to buy it from? For either price or service? Chris

I am very new to printing stuff, just want something to make my Landscapes both colour and B&W come out well for framing. No fancy effects but possibly some panoramas. I have seen some comments on dodgy profiles for the Ilford smooth papers is this an issue? Thanks Chris

Having just gained a second hand Epson R2400, I am in need of some good quality paper and even a paper roll to release some of my prints from their hard drive jail. Can anyone comment on good value or service from any particular suppliers. I did try a search in this forum for this subject...

You lot are brilliant. Thanks for all the info so far. I like a good walk and I'm sure I could talk my friends into a bit of a trek to get some good shots. So nothing is out of the question. Any more ideas will go into the mix and hopefully I will brave enough to post some when we get back...

I have just booked to go on holiday with some friends in early March to the Lake District. Although I have already searched the internet for the most likely locations for good photographs, I would appreciate any input for places not to miss. As we have only a week I would like to create a...

I Bought my Aluminium Vetruvian about 6 months ago and still think its a great piece of kit. Compact and light weight and attaches to my Lowepro back pack, but I wasn't keen on the ball head so replaced it with a Manfrotto 460 MG which is a lot bulkier but I think is much better. Hope this is...
