    Help! Access my own classifieds

    Thanks - I got a screenshot or 2 it’s so hard remembering all the small bits you buy and how much they add up to…. Especially when things like memory cards are hundreds too. It may take a few months to become active again - a little bit sick of photography stuff right now. Sorry! Trying to...

    Help! Access my own classifieds

    Hi - I’m on my phone so apologies for creating a post, but couldn’t see how to message admin directly easily. I’ve just been burgled and lost a lot of gear. Some of which I purchased here. I’ve not been active on here that much, so think my classifieds access has been taken away? Not sure but...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Only the 1 currently in a lastolite ezybox which I’m handholding. As for the meltdown - I kind of understand it but the fact it lets you shoot 20fps with flash continuously is surely no different and would still cause the same issue.

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    It seems great to me, I did get the v1 pro too (it was 239 at cameraworld when I got it a couple of months ago) - I can't say I have a massive use for the round head, but was shopping around and it seemed like a good buy. I use it mainly for macro, and a bit of off camera fill for outdoor...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    So yesterday I spent far too long trying to suss out high speed sync flash on the z8, godox v1 and x3n. So as a fyi, with the flash on the hotshoe it worked fine, but with the x3n it just wouldn’t work, limiting me to the 1/250th as set on the sync speed in the menu and even with high speed...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Hi, Is focus stacking with flash on a z8 really not possible without putting a minimum 1 second delay in between shots? seems crazy when you can shoot 20fps with flash, just wondering if anyone had discovered a workaround? a little frustrating,

    Monopod and monopod head?

    I know you probably have enough suggestions above, but to add one more.... I really like using a sidekick on my monopod, it gives a really good gimbal experience but keeping the weight minimal (and central) but also a good 'handle' to hold right next to the camera, rather than having to hold...

    WITH OR WITHOUT CAMERA STRAP WHEN GOING OUT TO SHOOT?

    I either use a wrist strap with shortish lenses (peak design) which a, stops me dropping my camera, and b, in street situations, a slight security from someone running off with it. when using a long lens, I have a long neck/shoulder strap, so can throw my monopod or tripod over my shoulder...

    Auto setting in Lightroom

    Whilst AUTO can be a bit OTT, the new (ish) adaptive colour profile, and ability to use an amount slider on the profile, does provide a useful tool for getting some instant pointers in the right direction. It's not bad having these tools in your workshop, the eyes of millions of photographers...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Yep totally agree, was a little shocked by this... flicking from photos to videos for wildlife, sometimes there isn't long to change everything, like going from 1/2500 for a still, then wanting 1/250th for a 120p video, and of course everything else that needs changing with it. can you not use...

    Lens Filters - What's Needed?

    One thing I find a little misleading with regard circular/magnetic over square, is how people (YouTube reviewers etc) go on about how easy magnetic are to attach to the lens and user friendly they are in ease of use over square. My argument is that they dont show you all the faff regarding lens...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    Loving the example photo advertising the new 35 1.2 s - definitely a shot you need a very shallow depth of field to keep bits oof! Not sure if the price or the photo is more shocking.

    advice on flash systems please.

    Can’t really give you huge amount of advice but after 10 years or so playing the Nikon cls with sb600,800 and 900s, I got to know it pretty well. After a few years break of Nikon I’ve just got a z8 and godox x3n and v1 pro n and plan to get a v350 or 2 soon. Initial thoughts are that the godox...

    LCE - Leofoto Mr Q

    Yeah agree - kind of what I meant by saying I’d never pay 899 for it. Slightly off topic… I wanted a single tripod that was good and light for macro (ie ability to reverse centre column) and quick swap it out for a levelling base and fluid head for wildlife. This seemed a great price for an...
