Thanks for this - I don't mind buying used. I hadn't even realised that the R and RP bodies existed. With all the talk of the R5 and R6, I thought my only option with the RF lenses was to wait for the upcoming APS-C (R7) whenever that gets released. My only concern with the R would be its the...

Sorry, I should have said that the budget needs to include the body as well!

Currently I have a canon 550d, and the 55-250 IS but I would like to upgrade. I don't have many other canon lenses, so not particularly tied to EF(s) Photographs of birds and wildlife in the UK (squirrels etc). I'm hoping for a bump in image quality, ISO performance, AF accuracy and reach...

Google earth??

Oh righty Max space I have is 5x5m with ceiling 2.5 I can support a 3m roll but I don't think I'll be doing portraits of more than 3 people so didn't think I'd need over 2m. Regarding the length, is the maxim long is better always appropriate here. Can the excess be left wound on the roll...

How does one decide the length of vinyl to purchase? Is it simply a case of adding height + train, or do you need to leave a bit extra on the roll? I was thinking of a 2x5m as it's about £10 cheaper than the 2x6m, but would hate to regret it in the future. Does anyone use a 2x4 or 2x5 roll...

I'm after a new flash to be triggered by rf603's. manual is all that's needed as I have a nissin 622ii for ettl on camera Would I be better off with one of the cheap yongnuo flashes (460ii etc) or an older canon ez540 etc HHS is not necessary for me and I'd like to spend no more than 60 notes...

Cheers. Have also looked through some old threads and picked up some tidbits. Thanks.

Looks ideal. I could use half my backdrop support outside if I needed to. Any suggestions on a suitable brolly or clamp to fit that £20?

As per the title I'm after a reasonably cheap set up to go with my speedlight (nissin 622). I need a stand. Umbrella and adapter. I was looking at around 40" shoot through if that sounds about right. Space isn't really a premium and would prefer sturdy over lightweight. Budget around £50 or a...

I've had a look around and very interested in the rf622c. Would I need a pair, or would one suffice since my nissin can be triggered using rf on group 1? Cheers

Hello all. I have a nissin 622mkii flash and use it off camera using a flash trigger (popup) from my 550d canon. The nissin says it can be controlled by channel a group 1 if I had a commander type thing like the st3e. Is there a third party equivalent that would let me trigger the flash as I...

Right stand now sorted. Bought a calumet heavy duty one from ebay (yes the one bundled with a collapse able background) ill have to get the wife ironing that! So I now need some backgrounds - still keen on a knitted one for white but wondering what to do for black.

I was budgeting around 200 all in. Had originally looked at a knitted background fabric, but quite interested in these vinyls. My main concern is not having enough train on a 9' by 12' backdrop, and the 20' ones are very dear - also no room for that as the room I plan to use is 16' square

Thank you for all the suggestions. I was concerned it was going to cost me around £150!!
