I've just tried my 1/8 black diffusion filter on my 50mm f1.4 and I can barely see a difference with and without it. I'll do some more tests under different lighting but I think I'll likely exchange it for a 1/4 filter.
Personally I demand it’s streamed live
I did try that. I’m going to see what it’s like in the paddock at Donington this weekend (weather permitting) but I’m pretty sure I’m going to swap it.I would suggest that 1/4 is a good starting point, but to check your 1/8th and differences try it with a bright light in the FOV
What is the "best" adaptor for Nikkor F mount (50/1.4 Ais) into Sony E-mount?
Just ordered one from Japan for my FM2 but might be fun to put it on the Sony.
I’m not sure how you can transfer straight from an SD card onto and external drive being as the iPad only had one USB port?I’m after some advice. I’m looking into moving most, if not all, of my photo editing over on to an iPad using Lightroom Mobile. There’s one bit I’m struggling to get an answer for, and hoping someone here can help. I plan to download images from an SD card straight on to an external SDD or HDD via an Anker dongle plugged into my iPad’s USB C port. I then want to add the images into LR mobile on my iPad.
When I do this, do the images remain on the external drive, or will the process of importing them in to Lightroom transfer them to the iPad? If it’s the latter, then I’m going to have to budget for an updated iPad with more memory, something I’d prefer to avoid if possible.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon.

In answer to the question, I’ve never done it with an external drive, but transfering images to the iPad from the SD card has always left the data on the card so I don’t see why it would be any different using a drive. I don’t use LR mobile, but can you edit using images on the drive or would you have to transfer them across to the iPad first?
I guess the only way to know is to try it and see, assuming you have an external drive already.You can do it using this dongle
Your last sentence is exactly what I’m trying to find out!
Cheers,
Simon.
If nobody knows, then I guess so LOLI guess the only way to know is to try it and see, assuming you have an external drive already.

@ukaskew do you use a monopod for slow shutter panning? I’ve tried using one a few times but just find then awkward, but I’m wondering whether it’s worth persevering with to improve my hit rate.
Thanks, exactly my issues with them.Nope, can't get on with them at all both in terms of carting one round all day (I move constantly) and actually using it to make any appreciable difference. I'm sure they do help, they must do, probably great for ultimate sharpness when doing frozen head-on shots but it's quite a bit of faff, more so as I rarely pan straight!
Thanks, exactly my issues with them.
I do wonder how folk pan at 1/8 with a 600mm f4 and get tack sharp images though
You’ve got a 600mm f4? Nice1000 shots, only need one banger I have 600mm now so I'll give it a go next weekend.

Lovely.
Lovely.
You get a better quality of ne'er-do-well at these sort of places obviously, used a nice stand rather than just a few old bricks when they nicked the wheelsA few photos from the opening round of the British Touring Car Championship and Support races at Donington. Got a bit wet in the afternoon.

Great set of shots, BTW!
ThanksNice set Toby - 10 is my fave.
ThanksSuperb panning Toby!
Thanks. Being honest it wasn’t the most enjoyable, I was so cold at one point I couldn’t feel my hands and couldn’t stop my teeth from chattering But I think it was worth it as some of the shots turned out OKLooks like you had a good time, great pictures too
