    Canon DSLR to Leica

    Thanks for the pointer... looks pretty chunky. Unashamedly also, I'm lured by the romance of the Leica over Sony lol. Yes, I drive a Range Rover , and have never taken it off-road.

    Canon DSLR to Leica

    size. I tried to address that with the pancake, but still it something that I can't leave in my pocket and take around easily. I use 35L 90% of the time, the bokeh and subject isolation being most important to me. Although the iPhone 11 pro has the third lens which is pretty decent at 52mm...

    Canon DSLR to Leica

    Hi all It's been a number of years since I've been on here, but recently had the thought that many of you may also be experiencing... should I sell up my DSLR and go Leica? I use my DLSR maybe twice a year these days. The best camera is the one you have with you, often that's my iPhone 11 pro...

    Help needed with filter as never bought one before

    When I first bought my camera, I was paranoid that I'd accidentally damage the lens front element. I am super careful with my gear, to the point that I always very gently put my camera down on tables for fear of scratching the base lol. A UV filter helped me overcome that fear, and allowed me...

    Chicken or Egg

    Go with the 7d and feed your epeen. On a serious note, the 7d has a huge number of benefits over the 450d (ISO, image resolution, AF, lcd, top lcd, fps, buttons/rear dial, feel, robustness...) the list is long. your current lenses are far from poor, and will produce great photos on the 7d. I...

    Canon 17-40mm L - £449.99

    Argos are always doing this - you have to get in really quick to get any stock. Price matches are usually only if they are in stock, and a physical retailer. This is the case for John Lewis.

    Why is a 17 - 55 so much more expensive than an 18 - 55??

    there's girth to match though

    It's the warranty. Lenses are typically international warranty, bodies not. Also plug differences and naming of canon rebel vs xx0d.

    Canon L v Sigma EX

    I've had both, and unless you're super critical (seems like many a pixel peeper reside online), then I think they are on par IQ wise. I have sets of photos on my flickr with both, and I doubt you'd be able to differentiate between them. The big reason to go for Sigma in my opinion is the...

    Is full frame worth it?

    I've tried them all briefly: 35L fantastic 50L not sure it's worth the cost above 50/1.4 85L too slow to focus for my candid style 85/1.8 nice 135L too long for my personal style So I will likely end up like vaizki: 35L and 85/1.8. Just wondered how that combo worked (which becomes the...
