    Canon EOS M Series Cameras

    Excellent. There's nothing else that seems to come close to the M at the price they're going for used - I'd love a viewfinder but not at the price difference between the M and M3! The new M10 got my interest a little until I saw it's still double the price of the M and the same price as the M3...

    Canon EOS M Series Cameras

    I'm going to be picking up a used EOS M in the next month or 2 for travel use plus some video work, mainly landscape shots so slow AF isn't a huge concern - size though is! It'll be used on motorbike touring in various mountainy parts of Europe, is the kit 18-55mm a decent lens or should I try...

    Camera Bags

    Don't really use a bag at the moment as I only have 1 body and lens, but I do have a Crumpler messenger style bag with removable dividers and space for 2 35mm bodies, 3/4 lenses, flash etc, a 16" laptop slot and much more. Huge big thing that's been used for everything (hand luggage on flights...

    Messenger bags?

    Massive recommendation for Crumpler bags, I've had a six hundred daily xl for about 5 or 6 years and it still looks brand new. Has a removable inner bag with movable dividers, and it's not only been a camera bag carrying a dslr body, 2 or 3 lenses, flashgun, tripod slung on top, and a 17" laptop...

    OFFICIAL I HAVE A NEW (FILM RELATED) TOY THREAD!!

    Canon A-1 meter acting strange

    Could be that, however I'm not sure, as the metering doesn't change at all looking at dark or light subjects, and changing the iso does change the shutter speed etc that the meter calculates. Yep, aperture priority mode, top dial to f1.8, lens set to "A" on the aperture ring, at 200 iso...

    Canon A-1 meter acting strange

    I managed to find an A-1 in very good condition, and got it in the post today. However, the light meter (more specifically, the viewfinder display) is acting very strange. Normally, it's lit constantly, showing both shutter speed and aperture as long as the shutter is half pressed, just...

    Canon 5D MK I 'classic' - owners thread

    This thread and others like it have convinced me to pick up a 5Dc in a couple of months, they're a complete bargain for the prices they're going for now. There's one for sale on another forum for £470 with a battery grip (mint, 11k actuations), just a shame I'll have to wait for a couple of...
