Canon and Nikon use different formats for button layouts and the like, take her to a photography shop, ideally a good independent with guys that actually care and know what they're talking about (not your Pc worlds and argo's) and pick an equivalent from each make, 9 times out of 10 one will...

Its sure as hell not perfect, even as comfy as the Tilopa is, 8+ hours of hiking around Yosemite and it starts to feel real heavy, especially with 4 litres of water and a tripod clipped on. The only time i've wished for a larger aperture is on the 100-400 when shooting Elk in a relatively...

Whenever i travel (with a 7D) i take my 10-22, 24-105 and my 100-400 in my new F-stop tilopa BC.

At £500, plus £500 for a decent bowens second hand kit, i'd probably rather go with the brand new Safari kit for not much more. However this makes me think its perfectly possible for me to create something like this for a mains powered system, and perhaps there is actually very little difference...

Renting would be pefect to be honest, but im in Newcastle and there are very few rental places near to me! Thanks for the reply Gary. I had thought about the cheap kits, but to be honest i would rather have the reliability of a branded second hand system and a bit less inconvenience of...

I guess i better add more to this. Im actually an electrical engineer by trade/qualification, my main concern was wether the flashes would mind being ran from a modified/quasi sine wave inverter as opposed to a pure sine. Power capacity wise, the truck is running on two 110ah batteries, one...

Hi all, Im looking at getting some studio flash heads. Ideally i want a battery powered travel kit, as it will mostly be equestrian/rock climbing shoots im using it for. However, i drive a 4x4 with split charge system and a big power inverter. Do you think i could get away with powering...

Hi all I just got a Cokin P series filter holder, ideally to use on my 10-22. I have ready that i may run into problems with vignetting at the wider focal lengths. My question is, can the front two filter slots be cut away to remove this vignetting, or is even that not enough to make the...

This is very helpful, thanks for that! Rich

No, i don't think you can. The mother bought a 450D a few years back, and her photo composition is still the same 2 years later, no matter how much i try and tell her. She is the typical home photographer, "Move to the left a bit so i can get some of that tree in", not considering the fact that...

Does anyone have any opinions on the Kood filter set? They are compatible with lee and HiTech apparently, yet way cheaper again. Rich

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Rich

I think people must have twigged to this, almost all of their extreme CF cards are out of stock now! Which is annoying!

Thats very interesting. I currently use a lowepro bag and love it, but the only ones that seemed feesable for me were the rover range, but the 35 diddnt have enough camera storage space, and the 45 was too big. I wasnt aware either bag you mentioned had much additional storage space. My local...

Oh, to add, its the 3N1-35 PL that i was interested it. Whilst ita a good looking bag, i dont think it would cut it for an overnight trip
