It was one of those particularly 'Brash' moments when on one really wanted to acknowledge it was happening. Well, there is a phrase that goes something along the lines of "Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad" Yeah - I did have...

I know nothing about the speedboosters. The only thing I was looking into before I got my R6II was an adapter for my 5DIII. The Minolta lenses won't work on FF Canons without some extra glass in the way. Everything I've ever read says that this is terrible for image quality. And TBH, for the...

Good to confirm.

Personally, I'd advise against K&F. I bought one (two actually) for Minolta>Sony. I liked the look of them (the black and orange looking fairly OEM for the Sony) and they didn't get too many bad reviews. But the black and orange sections are two different parts, and on one copy, those two parts...

For 'not much time or inspiration' you've produced a cracking image. Love the POV.

It may be an iPhone shot. But it’s a goodun. I like the colour bars. I might have gone in a bit tighter to crop out the green ones top right, but it’s a minor comment.

Week 23 - VEGETABLE TP52 2024 - Week 23 - vegetable 00 by Kell, on Flickr

Week 23 - VEGETABLE Previous owners of our house had a VEGETABLE patch, but neither my wife nor I are interested so it's just become the perfect place for weeds to grow. Nettle Soup anyone? TP52 2024 - Week 23 - vegetable 01940 by Kell, on Flickr But I just liked this one a bit more as it...

I see you have a flickr account. If you were sharing from there... Click the arrow (3rd icon) which generates a dialogue box. Click on BBCode and scroll down to Large 1024 Copy the link and paste it here. And you'd get this: Crete (film) by Christopher Hiscocks, on Flickr

That would be the toughest decision for me. My Pentax compact outshone anything that came after it so I have a soft spot for them as a brand too. What I would say is just try and compare like for like prices on similar lenses. Older Minolta lenses (the MC range) are up there with Canon FD...

The X300 was very much an entry level camera and didn’t have half the features of the 500. While the X700 had more features, the 500 for whatever reason tends to be focused by people that have used both. I can’t really comment as I’ve only ever had the 500s. The black one I’ve had since...

If you do go the Minolta route... this list will be both your best friend and your worst enemy... https://minolta.eazypix.de/lenses/index.html All of my lenses are MD (MDII and MDIII - fairly evenly split). From the research I did, it seems the latter MC lenses are the most highly regarded...

Is there not an Apple Turnover gag there?

I certainly wouldn't think about how many shots do I need while you're shooting as you may waste time trying to fulfil a quota or on the flip side not get a killer shot because you think you've already got enough. Like most people have said, I don't think there's a definite number. I would...

I don't think it's a shoehorn, when I looked up the definition of critters last week, I'm pretty sure it said "All animals"
