Great - thanks for your help

Hi, This is the first time I have bought another lens to use with my Fuji xt-1. I know that I have to select 'shoot without lens' option but just wondered if there were any other settings that needed altering too. Sorry if this is a very obvious question to ask. Thanks in advance Tom

Thanks everyone for taking the time and providing some incredibly useful advice.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look into both!

Technical - just really basic info really. I have the internet incredibly useful, but would also like a physical copy of something too ideally

I recently bought a fuji x-t1 (not sure if the camera matters in this instance?) and would like to get a book to help me get to grips with the basics (and I do mean basics) of photography, as I am a complete novice! Ideally I would go on a course or two but having just moved to China this isn't...

Stanley street and Mong kok sound like great places to start the search. Has anyone had positive experience of buying pre owned cameras in HK? Always something I'm wary of doing but would love to stretch my budget to an x-t1 and this may be the only way...

Thanks - good to get some recommendations from people who have been there before. Will be sure to shop around whilst avoiding Nathan Road.

Hi, I will be in Hong Kong and would like to get a fuji x-t1 (either new or pre-owned) with the 35mm lens whilst I am there. Having never been I wondered if anyone could recommend any particular shops to visit, as I've heard there's more than a couple to choose from!!

Hi, I recently got a 40d, and it came with a Sandisk ultra II 1.0gb card. I want to get another card, and think 2 4gb or 1 8gb card should do for now. After using the forum I found the my memory and 7dayshop sites. I think the Sandisk Extreme...

Cool - heading to Bristol in 2 weeks time so shall pop in and have a look

Thanks, I hadn't heard of the last two. I guess these sort of places will be the best bet, although it would be great to miss out the middle man and just buy straight from the owner

I enjoyed reading both articles/blogs posted above, although have to admit just reading and mentally placing myself in that situation gave me the fear... I liked the story at the end of jonneymendoza's blog. It made me consider how a connection with a person, as short as it may be really adds...

Hi, I've been using this site for a short while now. I'm a fair few posts away from qualifying to access the classifieds on this site at the moment, and wondered if anyone had experience of using other sites/forums classifieds that they would recommend? Ebay and gumtree seem a bit too...
