    Lens cleaning/servicing

    It's a bit of lens fungus on both lenses that needs sorting. Nothing that major I suppose. Operationally they're both perfectly fine otherwise.

    Lens cleaning/servicing

    Hello! I wondered if anyone could recommend where I could get a couple of lens cleaned/serviced? I've got a Nikon 24-70 f2.8 and a Sigma 105mm macro lens, both of which need a bit of attention. Any recommendations would be much appreciated! I'm based in London but happy to send the lenses off...

    Nikkor 70-200 - which is the one to get these days?

    Hey all, Considering a 70-200 for my D800e, which is a lens I've always aspired to own but never had the finances to buy one. I'm not really interested in a brand new one because at £2000+, I'm not getting paid enough (or anything, actually) for my photographs to justify that amount on a lens...

    South-West England Cornwall - Falmouth and St. Ives. Where to visit, what to shoot?

    Hello! I'm going down to Cornwall for 5 days from tomorrow and it's probably been about 20+ years since I set foot in the area. Certainly, I've never been to either St. Ives or Falmouth so this is all new to me. Having been away from photography for quite a few years, I suspect it's going to...

    Sekonic 758 lightmeter with Data Transfer Software?

    (Holy old thread revival, Batman) I had a look at that video and it was really useful! Thanks for pointing me to it. I was actually a bit apprehensive as to a. whether my Sekonic 758 still actually worked - as it's not been turned on since.. well, my last post (it did, after changing the...

    So what's new with cameras? Looking for a small interchangable lens camera!

    Probably looking about a grand max including a lens. I'll look up the E-M5!

    So what's new with cameras? Looking for a small interchangable lens camera!

    Actually on second thoughts, the A7 while small, is more than I want to spend on a second camera. I wonder if just a compact/all in one might be more suitable, something like the Fuji X100 or whatever is current in that style camera.

    So what's new with cameras? Looking for a small interchangable lens camera!

    Hey all, I've been away from any kind of photography (other than a few snaps on my phone) for a number of years now and obviously technology hasn't stood around waiting for me. So what's new? I'm looking for a small, ideally interchangable lens, camera as my daily shooter for when my D800E...

    Motorbikes

    Certainly was. I had a previous bike stolen about 3 years and was ready to give up riding (until I move to a remote island) if I didn't get this one back.

    Motorbikes

    Had a bit of motorbike drama yesterday. Woke up to missed calls and text messages from my dad and from BikeTrac who I've got a tracking device through. Normally they're all false positives - me knocking the bike accidentally or the wind giving my bike a big shake or something similar but given...

    Poll on Drone use

    There is fairly strict licensing in place - you have to register your drone and yourself as an operator - but unfortunately as something that can be bought off a shelf, without having to provide any ID etc., it opens them up to abuse by people who simply aren't going to bother with getting a...

    Tripod Ball Heads (Arca Swiss) - recommendations?

    I used to have one of those ball heads before I went large format (and then returning back to digital!) and honestly, it's an absolute belter. RRS ball heads are brilliant.

    Tripod Ball Heads (Arca Swiss) - recommendations?

    I've got a Manfrotto ballhead which came with my Befree GTXPro tripod and like you wanted an Arcaswiss compatible head. Easily solved with one of these! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01CAO7R72 Unless you really want another ball head, I'd just get that and replace the Manfrotto QR...
