Have to say number 4 stood out most for me. The rest for me don't have enough space around the edge. When I crop I always like to keep the aspect ratio, even if i decide to go portrait, or square at a push. But that's just my taste; I like the traditional size and all my images to match

I've had a go at this before, I'd recommend to anyone else trying it to buy a cheap M42 or other manual lens; you can retain full aperture and focus control. Makes it a bit easier focusing on things accurately, especially moving thing like insects.

Hi. The white balance won't affect your exposure. Your photos won't vary much in white balance and should have equal brightness. I'm a canon shooter, but you can set your camera to view your photo previews with a RGB graph by the side, you can easily see if one or more colours are being...

I read the original post and thought it was about me! I bought a 24-105 from eBay the other week that had an Error 01. I wasn't sure whether the buyer was trying to scam me with a broken lens, but he was very helpful and gave me a full refund when I told him after 3 days. Seems that old 24-105s...

I have 622 Mkii myself, can't say I've ever had any trouble with it, very reliable and fast recycling. Plus you get a more powerful flash. Can't say I have ever done a side-by side comparison however

Love the colours, not sure on the composition however

With Digital Rev, the Tax is billed directly to them. As I understand, they get away with most of their imports being untaxed. They add a small amount onto their price that reflects the 'average' number of times they are caught out, so that you never have to pay the full-whack

Had plenty of successful returns to Amazon. You don't even need to justify the return and the postage is prepaid (Dealing with Amazon directly however).

I got a some as a gift, just unbranded ones from china. 3 tube set with electrical connection for Canon however. Work perfectly, never had any trouble. As Pete says, they are just tubes, its your camera and lens that matter.

First one is my fave, nice atmospheric shot

Wow, some good shots there. Love the colour
