It’s a real conundrum. I have the OLYMPUS 300f4 And use it with converters. Very pleased with the results. But the thought of the 100-400 in such a lightweight package is very tempting. Only problem is that I would need to sell the 300 and it’s a very fine lens. Might need to sit it out for a...

Interested in Think Tank Advantage Plus roller bag, but I see that it is 1cm taller (56cm) than the maximum on Ryanair (55cm) Anyone got this bag and had to travel Ryanair and managed to get it on ok

Dan, i have been shooting hockey for about 7 years and I quickly learned that some of the best shots are not the actual shot itself but either the celebration if the goal is scored or the save if one is made. I tend to sit on the sideline, focus on the keeper at a short corner and if a goal is...

So, am I creating potential problems by storing my cameras and lenses on open shelves in a cool bedroom? I have never stored them in bags. Does fungus become more of a problem if items are stored in bags rather than out in the “open”

Hi, I and a colleague want to spend a day out photographing architecture and street scenes tomorrow. (16th Feb). We live near Nottingham and have a shortlist of Warwick, Stratford or Leamington. We want to travel to that neck of the woods as we have visited Lincoln, Stamford, and other places...

Ah, we are staying at Questenberk Hotel. Never been to Prague before so this thread has given me some clues as to where I will go with my cameras

Hey, Geejay57, what is the name of the hotel? We are going in April and staying at a large hotel on the hill.

Thanks Damian. As you say, drag racing is a little more predicrptable than the "erratic" movement of players on the pitches. I am worried that there has been no immediate rush of members who want to tell me that these cameras cope well with fast moving sport. Looks like I will be leaving sport...

Thanks Ned, you are the first to reply and you have said what I feared. I was mainly a DSLR sports photographer but decided that I wanted to move into a new phase in my photography and at the tender age of 67 I felt that it was time to stop lugging about heavy equipment and sitting outside in...

I have just purchased an Olympus OMD EM 1 and now getting some "normal range" lenses. I have done a lot of sports photography in the past with my Canon gear but have not seen much in the way of comment or experiential reports of people who have used micro four thirds for sports action. I'm...

Not a problem. Happy to be of assistance

Try reading http://www.football-dataco.com/media.html You are currently a long long way from qualifying. That does not mean you can never get one. Plenty of material in talk photography Just search!

Please do not regard me as the expert on this matter. I am merely doing what others have suggested in the past regarding the wheels on the Peli. I only got my Peli this morning and the wheels do not arrive until tomorrow so I am not talking from experience! That having been said, the...

A number of people over the years have suggested that the standard wheels that ship with the Peli cases are poor quality and made of the same material as the case shell. As a consequence they give no cushioning when going over rough ground and as such can cause undue vibration. There is an...

These. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/4-wheels-bearings-63-mm-82a-id_8110640.html I first discovered them from a recommendation by Kipax.
