Hi all - 1st post! I've been a long time Canon enthusiast with a wide range of lenses, but having recently moved almost exclusively to doing street photography I'm trying to make a move to a lighter, more minimal setup. I bought the X100vi and the X-T5 with the 23mm f/1.4 and the 16-55 f/2.8...

Hi All, Apologies in advance for such a long post I am off to South Africa for 6 months from June and am finding it extremely difficult to decide which camera would be best for me. I have not done much photography at all, but after a recent trip to Zimbabwe, one of my biggest regrets was only...

Hi, I currently own a canon 450d and was looking at upgrading. I have looked at many used options like a canon 60d because of the price range, however I have primarily looking at the canon 7d MKi now, (didn't before because of the CF card slot and no SD card slot but realised that it's not a...

Literally been researching for a good 4 months for a good telephoto/zoom lens to start off with so I can shoot sport. A lot of people say to me that the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 is the best lens for shooting sport and it looks amazing from the reviews I've watched and read but it is quite an...

Hey there folks.. I have always desired to shoot a snow leopard, but have never successfully came in to direct contact and photographed it during my past expeditions. I own a 70-200mm f2.8 VR2, that is an effective 105mm-300mm on my D7100, though I did not find the reach near enough to...
