At near £500 for the 405 I think I may just stick with the weight of the 410:)

Hi, have the 410 junior tripod head from back when used DSLR's and finding it a bit overkill and heavy for the Z8 & 24-120mm lens so just asking what others are using for the mirrorless systems? Thanks, Russ.

Excellent image TFS. Russ.

Many thanks for that, didn't no you could get alternative rails. Russ.

I have found that the Lee GND filters are very difficult to get into the Kase K9 holder so anyone please say if the Kase GND filters are a better fit for there holder? I think the Lee filters are slightly to thick. Thank you, Russ.

I have used Lexar silver 128 & 256GB and had no problems (Stills photography only) going to Mull in May/June and got a shock when looked at the price increase, in August 2025 paid £90 from Amazon for a 256GB now same card from same supplier £139 on Amazon, now I no things go up with any excuse...

Hi, I have the Benq SW270C never had a problem with it in over 3 years, only a 2K but the 27" well big enough for editing, use the Benq software to calibrate. https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/creative-pro/sw270c.html So from me a thumbs up for Benq. Russ.

One thing you missed there and that is the shortage of food, over the last 12 to 18 months here in Cumbria the vole population has gone down quite drastically even having an affect on the other owl species Short Eared Owls, have not seen any Barn or Short Eared owls in the numbers I have seen...

Well I got an email this morning 27 /02/26 from Cotswold at 07:49 informing me that my lens had been shipped from warehouse, at 1925 last night received text from a company never heard of 'Wonic Source Ltd' advising lens was due to be delivered today 27/02/26, text from Royal Mail will be...

Hi, purchased a Nikon Z6 III from Cotswold and arrived within a week same kind of time frame I had with Panamoz so thought OK I'll get a 24-120mm from Cotswold as was around £100 cheaper than quoted from Panamoz I paid for it 10th Feb 26 order confirmed 11th Feb 26 today 26th Feb 26 still no...

Hi, thanks good to no with a Z8:p

Hi, so it has been a long time since I did any seascapes using filters and it was with a Canon 7D II now with mirrorless cameras do you still need that taking a reading without filters then going to your app to see what shutter speed you need with that 10 stopper or do you find that you can set...

But that £250 is used, new on WEX £450 so for waiting 7 to 10 days you could have it new for near £150 cheaper.

Why pay near the same for a used product that you can get new? I no people say we should support the local market but that is hard to do with the Government imposing high tax on anything you buy even if it is used and tax was paid previously when bought new. Personally I would rather buy new as...

Thanks for the reply, decided to go for that 24-120 and sell the 24-70 from what I've been reading the 24-120 does all the 24-70 does but gives that little longer reach. Russ.
