    What camera for my holiday?

    Another vote for the Rx100. Ive found the image quality excellent. I’ve got the mk6 which has the 200mm zoom at the expense of one stop slower than the mk7. I find the extra zoom incredibly useful for travel. The handling of the camera can be improved considerably by getting one of the leather...

    New Camera - Case Suggestion ?

    Not sure if this is the right forum to post this so apologies if not. l just bought my first film camera in 25 years courtesy of a well known auction site.Seems in pretty good nick though I've ordered a set of replacement light seals. The AE-1 was the first camera I ever bought as a student...

    How Do You Process?

    thanks - none near me unfortunately - they seem to be mainly southern based (I'm between Leeds/Manchester) but I'll keep on looking .

    How Do You Process?

    Ok I think I'm starting to understand this. Few more stupid questions: If I assume that I send my film to Filmdev they willdevelop and scan the negatives - I assume the link they send me gives me access to jpegs - yes? I would then be able to edit the jpegs as with any digital file...

    How Do You Process?

    Forgive my ignorance: I also get low res scans done by Filmdev and then rescan the negs at a higher resolution once I get them back. Can you explain how you do this please? I assume you send the film to Filmdev and they return negatives and jpegs? How does the second part of the process then...

    How Do You Process?

    I've just bought a film camera (Canon AE-1) after using digital for the last 20 years. Partly a bit of nostalgia but also I'd like to go back to a more 'considered' way of shooting rather than firing off dozens off shots without really thinking. A couple of question around how people process...

    Upgrading Lenses Advice pls

    That's very helpful - thanks. So I think what you are saying is that for example an 18-55mm lens would give the same range of view on a crop sensor regardless of whether the lens was DX or FX? If so I'm much clearer now! In terms of my original question I'm assuming a Nikon (or Sigma)70-200...

    Upgrading Lenses Advice pls

    Zarch thanks for your comments. I suppose I'm looking to potentially replace both my lenses. Is it worth replacing my Sigma at the wide end? Would a Nikon equivalent for example give a noticeable improvement in IQ? How would I best cover the 20-200 range? I'm assuming this will be more than...

    Upgrading Lenses Advice pls

    I currently own a Nikon D7100 and two lenses: a Sigma 10-20mm and a Nikon 18-200mm VR. I mainly use these for travel photography and more and more I'm getting into landscape photography for which the Sigma has been great. I'm aware that the convenience of the 18-200mm does come with some...

    Upgrade to Full Frame Inevitable?

    Jeez...... so just going back to my question 'upgrade to full frame inevitable?' If you read the thread, I think you'll find it has a wealth of information on the subject. however... I'll summarise: Do you print big and/or need to shoot at very high ISOs? Then it has benefits. If not, no...

    Panorama Issue :(

    Without ticking the advanced merge option box the shadow is slightly worse! There dont appear to be any other options. I wasnt aware of those other programmes. I guess I don't have to use photoshop - just seems a bit odd not to when I use it for everything else and everyone told me photoshop...
