Ok, thanks for the advice. Just circular polarisers then?

By bracket the exposure, do you mean taking multiple shots, under exposed, over exposed and correct exposure? How would that work if the subject is moving? Sorry if this is a stupid question, like I said, it’s been a while!

Hi all, I’m going to be going to Kenya in July for a wedding, and will be going on safari whilst we’re out there. I’ve been once before, but didn’t really have a good camera setup so didn’t take it too seriously, this time I’d like to put a bit more effort in. I have (or will have) a R100...

Hi all, One of those ‘which lens should I get’ threads I’m afraid! I’m getting an R100 later this week and an ef - rf adaptor ring so I can use my efs 15-85mm lens with it. The obvious telephoto zoom to go on safari with in July is the rf 100-400, but as I’m already going to have an adaptor...

Ok, so you turn it like to focus or zoom, and it changes whatever you want it to?

Thanks for the advice. What does the control ring do?

Hi all, I’m about to buy a mirror less cannon R100 and want to be able to use my old ef-s lenses. I know Canon do a lens adaptor, but seems they can’t keep up with demand. Does anyone have any experience with any third party manufacturers? They’re on Amazon ranging in price from £30-£90, but...

Thanks Kell, I’ve been using that site a lot! Really useful. The auto focus on the R50 seems really clever, I like the idea of the electronic view finder as well. Things have moved on a bit in the last 20 years of making cameras! Who knew? Think I’m pretty much decided on the R50. If the...

Or the 250d? Quite a bit smaller and lighter and could use my existing lenses without a converter?

Ok, I think I’ve narrowed it down to a few options: If I go with one of the small sensor all in one types, I think I’m looking at either the Panasonic FZ1000ii or the Sony RX10iii. There really doesn’t seem much between them apart from weatherproofing and a slightly faster lens. The other...

haha; yes I guess so! Is that not true of all lenses? That the maximum zoom will be the worst quality? So if I need 400mm, I’d be better having 600mm because 400mm with a 600mm lens will be better than 400mm with a 400mm lens? I’m going to make a spreadsheet. That’s my go to for difficult...

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I do appreciate it. I know what you mean about the 80d (for example) it would be such more more convenient to be able to use my current lenses as like you said, I have most bases covered with these. However, I’m worried that I’ll not end up using it...

Thanks for the idea, but I want to start using whatever camera I end up with a bit more anyway.

You may well be right, but I have some other bits and bobs I’m selling too, like some other filters (mist set?) a 105mm circ pol, universal lens hood etc etc

Just to make sure I’m correct, most of the cameras people have recommended to me are either micro 4/3 which are mirror less, you can change lenses etc, or bridge cameras which often have really impressive zooms. Is that correct?
