Torn between a couple of cameras to use for travel photography, one of which is the D-Lux 7. The only thing that concerns me is that I may find the 24-75 fixed lens restrictive over time, which is why my other choice is the Olympus E-M10 III simply because I can go with a 14-140 lens. Does...

Quick question.... I have a A7ii and really want a 100-400 zoom lens but obviously the FE lenses are all VERY expensive. I already have a Viltrox EF to E adapter that I've been using with a Canon EF 50mm with great results - I can get hold of a Canon EF 100-400 L lens quite cheaply, will this...

Bought my Sony A7ii last year as I wanted to upgrade to mirrorless, but find I still use my Canons a lot more, still got a 40D, 550D and 650D but gave my old 5D to my wife with a kit lens.

No fungus as far as I can see, and both focus and aperture rings are smooth with the diaphragm opening and closing

Hi guys, managed to pick this lens up for £5 at a car boot sale and just happened to have an EF adapter with it (bonus!). Has anybody got any experience with this lens at all? Looking forward to having some decent weather for a change so I can take it out and try a few shots with it on my 650D .

I currently have both a Canon 40D and 550D both of which I use regularly, mainly for travel and landscape photography. I've been offered a 7D with a 17-40 f/4L lens - will the 7D be a significant upgrade over my other Canon bodies as I've seen it described as more of a professional camera, or...

I'm considering starting to sell my photos as a side hustle, self-employed type of thing. I'd like to start off by having a simple portfolio website, with my own personal domain name, just to display my work as a starter. I've been researching online but can't decide on the easiest way to go...

Hiring a Sony FE 24-105 for 17 days has cost me £180. To buy it would cost at least £700 which I can't afford at the mo

Actually, just saw the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, maybe that would be a better lens for travelling...

What is everybody's opinion of the Sony FE 24-105? Good or bad as an everyday walkaround lens for my holiday coupled with my A7ii? I would be mostly taking pics of (in this order) Landscapes Buildings Sunrises/sunsets Cars (especially old VWs) Lets see some examples so that I can convince...

Pity I'm going the week after then lol

We only had one rough day, and to be honest you couldn't really feel it that bad as it's such a large ship

We're off to Snowdonia in a couple of weeks for a fortnight away so I'll be taking 3 different cameras (Sony A7ii, Canon 40D as a back up and a Canon EOS 600 SLR just because I want to play with a film camera). We're doing the usual kind of stuff around Llanberis and Llyn Padarn, but does...

I went last year on P&O Iona and did Stavanger/Olden/Haugesund, we had a cabin right at the front facing forwards so got a lot of scenic views

They want to charge me £356.40 for a 17 day hire of a FE 24-105 lens - that's twice as much as lenspimp!!!
