JJ Leigh Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Pic of my home town back around Christmas time, raw was pretty bright... few tweaks of course but tried not to over do it. Most of the stuff in this thread is flippin' brilliant. Edited January 28, 2016 by JJ Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all personal but I find when using a 24-70 you get lazy. If I'm using a fixed lens and need to get more view in frame, I move backwards and often find something I might not have seen if I'd stayed in one place. Plus, shooting the same fixed focal lengths allows you to picture that shots you're framing before hand easier rather than framing randomly at 32mm, just because you're used to seeing the same thing repeatedly. I shoot a lot of speeches at 35mm so I'm forced to get close like below. With a 24-70 I might have zoomed past the lady and just focused on the guy loosing this frame from her arms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now looking to buy, brand new, so want a good price but I want legit stuff with legit warranty. From a quick Google it looks like SLRhut are the cheapest, but I know nothing about them. Jessops seem to be about £300 more expensive, but that's no surprise. Any tips appreciated! www.camerapricebuster.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I managed to find a bit of a bargain in my local camera shop. A 15mm fisheye that's mint with warranty for £260, they usually go for £350-£400 used. Initial impressions are good, seems very sharp, i've only taken pictures of a rabbit with it though so far ha. They had a 135mm f2 in that I had a play with while I was there too, that really impressed me, think i'll purchase one before I head off to Canada in May. Here's a dull picture of my camera because why not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Batteries for a Canon 70d? Stick with Canon or aftermarket? My original canon battery won't charge anymore been dropped in water, I bought 2 energizer batteries for it, they seemed good at first but both run out really quickly now and dont seem to charge correctly. I only have the original charger. Could do with a dual charger, if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I only buy genuine ones (Nikon in my case), I consider it worth the expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to somewhere like Amazon and make sure it's sold by them not someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I've got 6 batteries in constant rotation in my camera - 2 are genuine Canon, 4 are randoms. They all hold charge for random lengths of time - 1 of the Canon ones seems to discharge pretty quickly, as does one of the random ones, but the others are fairly consistent with each other. I think the randoms are a mix of Hahnel and Maximafoto from the looks of things - whatever they are, they've worked pretty well for over 2 years now.

MadManMike Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Bag that can hold: 2 bodies 5 lenses 2 flashguns Talk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 The Evoc CP 35L I borrowed held about that much stuff for me (not exactly the same, but I carried: 2 bodies, 4 lenses, 2 flashes, 2 PWs, 2 telescopic tripods, 1 big f**k off tripod, 1 glidecam), and was by far and away the most comfortable bag I've ever used. With my normal camera bag if I do a full day riding in it my shoulders are generally letting me know how they feel about the situation, but with that Evoc bag they were absolutely fine. Build quality seemed decent too. Unfortunately they're pretty expensive, but they seemed to be worth it from the week I got to spend using one.

MadManMike Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Looks like it's about £250, which is more than I want to spend really - I'll hunt down some second hand ones I think Good suggestion though, does seem like it's a good bag and about the right size.

Dman Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I just got a kata bag, really nice, the company's just been took over by manfrotto. It was meant to be £130 reduced to £35 on wex photographic. @MadManMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Looks like their Kata clearance has finished They have one bag on there but it's not reduced and it looks about the same size as my current Lowepro. I guess I need to shell out a decent amount, but I never expected a bag to be £200+ (My current Lowepro is a good size and cost £40 on Amazon about 4 years ago, just not quite big enough to hold my new kit as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
