Hey i'm new to all this gear - i'm learning by my mistakes ;)

I'll be giving both those a go. If all else fails and i knacker the lens i've got my 75-300 lens in reserve !!

Ahh - brand snobbery :P I'm a member of a VW forum and the purists on there can be horrific !! I can live with the problem to be honest - my only worry is keeping the lens clean / protected as i can't get the cap on. It's my first piece of "proper" photography kit so was bought to a budget to...

??...Sorry mate, not with you...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll give it another coat of looking at tonight

Was thinking about the freezer actually as couldn't figure out how to get any heat into it to try the same effect. I'd have been willing to give the scary solution a go if there was any way of getting a hacksaw on it - even to make a notch for purchase !

I intially thought the "tabs" above the ridged area was the remnants of the filter but on further inspection thats actually part of the lens... What i need to remove is the inner ring as shown here - directly outside the writing... I need something almost like a pair of circlip type pliers -...

Just realised theres nothing to grip - it's left the part of the filter which is the threaded ring only which is on the inner rim of the lens (if that makes sense) I have no idea what to do ! How long will the lens realistically last without a lens cap ?

Newbie here - been messing about with my gear at home and i've dropped my lens. Luckily i had a polarizing filter screwed on it and that's what's taken the hit - the glass smashed and the outer ring came off ! However, the ring that screws into the lens it still attached and no matter how much...

My iphone5s The many thousands of photo's stored on my pc have been taken with my 5s (and before that my 4) and for what i've needed it's been brilliant As i want to expand my hobby ive just bought a canon eos1200d and am now (im)patiently waiting for the rain to stop !

Sorry yes its the nx11 - curse my butter fingers !! I'll be shooting a mixture of landscapes, urban areas and closer-in shots of everything inbetween. If you're on instagram search this user name to get an idea of what i snap away at with my iphone Original post now edited !

apologies if this info is available elsewhere - i'm struggling with the search function it would seem. I about to buy my first SLR. I have my eye on a canon eos1200d bundle from an online retailer - but - my brother in law had 2 samsung lenses (1x 18-70 and 1x 70-210) and i've seen a 2nd hand...

as one hobby ends do to lack of participation (i'm selling my surboard as i barely use it living 80 miles from the sea) i'm about to properly start my other (every walk we go on see me taking at least a dozen pics) and buy my first DSLR. I've narrowed it down to either the Nikon D3200 or Canon...

i'd second applecross (and all the Wester ross penninsula to be honest) we were there in June - unfortunately in very heavy cloud and mist but on the few brief moments the cloud parted the views across to skye were utterley gobsmacking
