I have no personal experience, but after reading a few reviews there seems to be a few saying that the OIS works better than IBIS on some combinations. I can't remember the bodies in question offhand though.

Interesting. It almost looks like an aerial shot of rock formations.

I'm glad you posted that, because I've just bought one :)

Possibly. I'm not massively keen on them tbh, but have used them a few times before with mixed results :)

Cheers for thr replies. Stuart, I don't mind using old glass at all, I have two Oly film bodies and lenses so it would be worth getting the adapter for those at some point. My main problem re. longer lenses is I only have a G3 (no IBIS). I'm used to shooting without stabilization on my film...

I've been up there a couple of times, the other time with my OM2n and a roll of Ilford HP5+ which is waiting to be developed :)

Wardsend Cemetery is a disused graveyard in Hillsborough Sheffield with quite a rich history. It is the final resting place of people from the Great Sheffield flood in 1864, Soldiers from both World Wars that were stationed at the nearby Hillsborough Barracks and the site of a grisly mass grave...

I've not seen that, is it part of that BBC series?

Oops - deleted.

I had a similar issue and bought a pretty rubbish Smart TV. It has My5 but a bunch of other stuff is missing. I have a smart bluray player, a smart TV and neither has everything I want. The chromecast is a very handy bit of kit though; you can watch or see just about anything on your phone on...
