    Any wheelchair users? Need help adapting

    The video is great and when I was younger (when I played rugby seriously and hadn’t really started cycling much) I would have had the upper body strength to do that. After 30+ years of cycling a lot and no strength training I’ve got big legs and a much less upper body strength. It sucks that...

    Any wheelchair users? Need help adapting

    Any wheelchair users? Need help adapting

    I can still stand and walk but for a very limited time, the chair allows me to do more with the family, I was becoming a hermit and struggling mentally because of it. I thought my Argon 2 was nearer 10kg with cushion, might be wrong though. Losing weight would be ideal but I’m finding it...

    Disabled Photography

    I'm in need of some help. I had to have some major upper spinal surgery that's left me with some physical limitations, basically I can't walk without crutches, can't walk far without needing to sit down and when stood struggle for balance. This has stopped me doing pretty much any of the...

    L-Mount Alliance Owners Thread

    What would people's thoughts on adding a Panasonic 14-28 and 70-300 to the S5 and 20-60 kit? I'm not really gelling with the Sigma 70mm macro so would use the 70-300 to start with.

    I've not owned a camera for a few years but an injury has severely limited my options for hobbies and interests I can manage physically. So I've bought.

    Just bought an A6000, samyang 12/2, sigma 30/1.4 and Nikon AIS 55 macro to start taking images again after a lengthy break from photography.

    The Amazing Sony A1/A7/A9/APS-C & Anything else welcome Mega Thread!

    I've just bought an A7 and a couple of Canon FD lenses, what I'd like to know is how the A7 works with Canon EF lenses as I may be doing some second shooter work in the near future and the wedding 'tog uses Canon.

    Mountain biking with a DSLR

    I hadn't thought about it until now, then wondered if this was the right place to do so. It's the larger 200, orange and well used, could go for £25 plus p&p
