    One camera, one lens

    I think one camera one lens would work great, if, it enhances the type photography you do. If your into street photography and landscapes will it work? How about landscapes and portraits? Could maybe go with something like an 18-400, covers a lot of range! I'm about into one camera one lens with...

    Epson R2880. replace or attempt to fix?

    When my Pixma 9000 MkII went ten toes up I found directions to clean the print head and tried doing that, didn't work so I did it a couple more times and just couldn't get it Checked out a new print head and it was, to me expensive. For a few extra bucks I got the new printer. 9000 now taking up...

    Epson R2880. replace or attempt to fix?

    16 Years? How long do you expect it to go? I'd think at some point it's time to move on. What you should know getting that long of service out of it is what company to buy from! I use Cannon for no other reason than they have served me so well. But haven't had one for even close to 16 yrs!

    Advice on dealing with boring sky

    Probably won't work for you. But, I have an abandon ranch I like to shoot. Been trying for years to get it with cloud cover and never could get it, always a sky like that. Finally on a trip to it, 40 miles, I got some clouds and took a bunch of photos. It was really blah with the empty sky. I...

    One camera, one lens

    Always carry my Panasonic ZS 100 with its 25-250 lens. Seldom ever need more and never need less. If I have my Nikon D 7000 along I have a Tamron 18-200 on it. If I actually need more I have it but the lens start getting big!

    Megapixels surely I'm wrong ? Are we being suckered ?

    I think probably whatever size photo you'd like to print would determine how many pixels you actually need. I don't know how many pixels either of my cameras are, I think about 20mp on both Panasonic ZS100 and a Nikon D7000. What I do know is I can print 12x24 inch photo's and I like them very...

    Who thinks DSLR / Mirrorles and equipment is complicated

    I have a wall phone here at the house. Been there about 35 yrs and still I can make a call on it. As for cell phones, phones were made to call someone on and today the number of things they do is astounding and while convenient, not necessary. I have never had a cwll phone that did much more...

    Who thinks DSLR / Mirrorles and equipment is complicated

    Been doing DSLR's since about 2002And have never been able to figure one out. Of course never figured out my F5 either. I'm comfortable with digital but it's like working a computer and I'm pretty bad at that.

    Non UK Going to Tokyo…

    I'm in the boat with you. Don't really find a use for non-zoom lens. Seems your always ether to close or not close enough, I had a couple lens for walking around that were great. 18-105 Nikon worked really well but 18-140 even better. Lot of people claim the primary lens are much better but I'm...

    Would you take your kit on holiday without a safe?

    I should have thought of that. My old D70 and D5000 took pictures as well as my D7000 and cost less money! I've also had my share of after market lens's and no complaint's.

    knee replacement

    First really bad thing for me was a separated pelvis on a bucking horse. Don't come down on the saddle horn! There's a stainless plate in there still holding it together. Then my left knee gave out to arthritis and it's now made of steel and wearing out! While being operated on I could hear them...
