I would love either of those lenses, but sadly I think the cost may be too high. Using a teleconverter could be a good option

I have a great Sony compact already, but I really struggle to take photos of passing aircraft.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for a sensibly priced telephoto lens that will fit my Sony A7. It’s to take to work (airline pilot) so needs to be not too big. I once took my 100-400G lens and that was way too big for the cockpit! All help gratefully received. Stu

Hi Lee, I am in a very similar position. If you can find a HiLite on ebay or whatever, they are great. I have the 7x5ft version (I think its that size) and it is fantastic. Very easy to set up, though not so easy to put away! I have used it in a few peoples houses. Good luck. Stu

Hi everyone, I purchased this lens a while back but need advice. It never seems to produce constantly sharp images. I am using it on a Canon 5d mkll. I may be doing something wrong (wouldn't be the first time!) but it's bugging me. I shoot portrait and wedding and seem to get an 80% success rate...

Hi everyone, I have been asked to photograph a wedding for a friend and am after a bit of advice. How is the best way to prevent glare on people's foreheads? I am conscious that it will be very sunny on the day and not sure how to counteract the 'shiny head' syndrome. Any tips anyone? Thank you Stu

Thanks for the advice chaps. Will make amends when I use the Hi-lite next time (this saturday!) Stu

Hi all, I took this photo using my Lasolite Hi-lite with a light pointing inside the reflector and one from over my shoulder. A lot of the images were spot on but some had this blurring/shadowing. Can someone tell me what I did wrong. I used a Canon 40d 24-105mm L lens. Thanks Stu

D'oh, had no plans to go out today, but think a little trip to the shops may be in order now. I love playing around with colours, usually a sweet wrapper on a maglite!

Cheers for the advice chaps and chapesses. In the end I went for the lens and am now the proud owner of a 24-105mm L. Stu

Hi Peter, Welcome on board. I am in Widnes so not a million miles away. Interested in portrait/fashion/landscape. Maybe arrange a Liverpool meet sometime. Take care, Stu
