Scratch my last post, I have bought the Panasonic 45-175mm lens, it is used and was a good price. Should have it by the end of the week. Hopefully the weather will improve and I can get out taking pictures with it. Cheers for all the advice

After not having much luck trying to buy lenses second hand, I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the Panasonic 45-150 new. It's less hassle for myself, just gotta wait until payday :( I stopped by Jessops in Manchester today to have a look at the lens in person, only to be told its a dummy and...

I am keeping the lens that came with my camera, it's useful to have and I have enjoyed using it. I am currently looking at the Panasonic 30mm macro f2.8 lens, it's something I know I wanted to buy eventually but have seen a few cheap used ones about, having read as many reviews as I can find it...

Thanks for the links but the 45-150mm has sold already, I have been looking all over for good deals on used lenses, I managed to find some good ones. I'm going to pass on the Olympus lenses due to the no OIS in lens, for now I think the extra help it can offer if a plus for me, well unless I...

I have been looking around for used lenses and found a place I can buy the Olympus 40-150mm for around £120, it says white box new, something to do with it been taken from a kit. I think it seems quite the bargain, but I do worry about no OIS, will it be noticeable? I also found an Olympus 17mm...

I need advice on what would be a good second lens to buy for my Panasonic DMC-GF7. Even though I've not had the camera that long, I would like to try a different lens to the one that came with it (Panasonic12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 Mega OIS Lens). I have googled the crap out of trying to find helpful...

I chose this forum as it looked friendly and helpful before I joined, also it was one of the few I found that had people posting daily. All big plus's in my book :plus1:

I'll be honest I didn't see this welcome forum until today, I've been posting in this thread for a few days. I am enjoying reading a lot of the information and spending too much time gazing at all the brilliant photos on here. looking forward to becoming a part of the community cheers

thanks for the link to info about exposure, very interesting read. here is a picture I took of the cat again, this time I tried to get a clearer view. ( glad to see the BB code on Flickr worked like a charm (y) ) Sleeping 19yo cat by Antony Allpress, on Flickr I still used auto for the...

Sorry I was using my phone to post the links, I'll post any future ones so they are embedded in the post. I appreciate all the feedback I've gotten just for them few photos, I am still getting used to the camera and how to frame a photo. About the flower, I'm not sure if the camera kept the...

Here are 3 pictures I quite like, all were taken on the intelligent auto setting, I can see why most reviews of my camera said this will be the setting most people use all the time. This first picture is a close up of my gf's cat, I was trying out close up. https://flic.kr/p/QHRbkX Here is a...

I will look into using Flickr for sharing photos. I am still getting used to the camera at the moment and my lack of places to take pictures at the moment isn't helping. I have been looking through the gallery on here for ideas of how other people frame a photo, I definitely can learn alot...

What is the best way to share pictures on here ? The ones I have are alot bigger than the file size allowed. I have enjoyed using my camera on my walk, tried using the lens that came with it to take pictures of everything to see how it coped with the different things, some went well I think...

Hi all, I'm new here, always been a keen picture taker just never had the right camera. I'd been looking for a good cheap-ish camera for awhile now, I read alot of reviews and played with alot of cameras, I finally purchased the Panasonic lumix dmc-gf7. It was in my price range and suited what...
