    Tamron 24-70 G2

    Bump - interested to hear views on this one - have the canon 24 70 2.8 ii - but could do with a version with IS / VC for indoor evening shots

    Any Sony RX1RI/II lovers here?

    I got one - the mark 1 and it's amazing - carry it so many places I never used to take a decent camera, and also serves as a super light second camera when carrying the 5d around with a 70-200 on For 750 on eBay it's a steal when you think the rx100v costs more . The lens itself is probably...

    Family holidays and Photography...

I would say save your money, buy a second hand prime here that has a wide aperture - 1.4 - 2 , probably a 50mm or 85mm, and play with that - if that doesn't work...

    Which EOS 1D-X body?

    I'd go b - the other option will only leave you worrying - and what's the point for only 10k clicks

    Sorry if this annoys anybody!

    thats surprising - my 15 retina works great with the 2 together - very fast - and its 3.5 years old - but it does have the discreet graphics card
