I have a Nikon V1 and a Zoom H1 (with lav mic when required). I have tended to have the Zoom to record the audio and then use the headphone/aux socket of the Zoom to go into the mic input of the V1, as it makes it easier to sync the audio later. I've not used a shockmount however - I've tended...

Has anyone tired of their 18.5mm f1.8 yet? I'm looking at picking one up (hopefully in black!) if anyone wants to move theirs on.

Really enjoying using my V1 and kit lens. Much lighter than my D90 but fairly similar feeling in operation. Even the lack of dials hasn't been an issue - I've only nudged the mode dial once so far too. A couple of shots from a recent trip: Untitled by fistameeny, on Flickr Untitled by...

Someone I know has replaced some 50w GU10's with these - http://www.chsinteractive.co.uk/electrical-components/lighting-lamps-bulbs-torches-etc/lamps-bulbs-reflector-spot-led/led-spot-gu10-gz10-4-0w-ledx3-240v/lamp-spot-ledx3-gu10-4watt-38d-beam-angle-warm-white-220-240v-lumineux.htm - and is...

I've just bought a V1 with 10-30 lens - seems great so far. Can anyone recommend a good, small shoulder case to fit just the V1 and 10-30?

Ah, makes sense if you think about it, which if you do, you wish you didn't ;-)

As you're in Birstall, have a chat to the guys at Farmac in Pudsey. They sell the Verdegrass artificial turf, e.g.: http://www.farmac.co.uk/products/view/landscaping-turf-topsoil-bark-compost/verdegrass Or perhaps you fancy something a bit more, ahem, colourful...

Well for example, photos with water or movement of some kind. I might want to lower the shutter speed for creative effect. I'm not expecting miracles but would like the ability to take photos and add some movement.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I should maybe keep an eye out for a VR replacement lens, or just not be so lazy and take my tripod.

I can do it quite happily with a VR lens. Or with my LX3 (smaller I know). However, I can do it. Anyway, does anyone use a monopod for anything other than big, big lenses?

A higher ISO won't help me. I could solve my problem by using the tripod, but I find it too cumbersome to take out and about. I seem to have pretty shaky hands, so even though my stance is pretty firm, I'm unable to hand hold at shutter speeds from 1/30s to 1/10s. I figured a monopod would help...

Hi, I have a Nikon 18-70mm lens which is fine for what I need, quality wise. However, I find that I'm unable to get consistently sharp photos in certain situations I use it for. Therefore, I'm contemplating replacing it with a VR lens of a similar range. However, a monopod would be quite a...

Hi, Just wondering if any of you LX3/LX5 users use a viewfinder with it? If so, what type? I gather the EVF is expensive and not great quality wise, but I'm wondering if anyone uses an optical one instead. Matt

Hi Lukasz, welcome to the forums :-)

There is always Wine: http://wiki.winehq.org/AdobePhotoshop Looks like some versions of Photoshop work OK under it.
