Pentax K1 and 100mm Macro Lens. Autumn is a great time to photograph fungi and mushrooms in your local woodland as the warm days and cold nights with damp weather is the perfect conditions for fungi and mushrooms to grow on the woodland floor. I was really keen to use the Autumn weather and the...

Thanks for everyone's advice and recommendations. Decided to go with the Canon 1dxii found a mint one with box and accessories and <20k shutter count for £2k on the Mark. Surprisingly no heavier than the 7D with battery pack which is a good thing! Now, I should list the Canon gear I know longer...

oooo is the 'plot twist' where we find out the less than Steller experience in football photography on the R6 was actually on the R5? hehehe

I'm swaying towards the 1dxii as its tried and tested and requires nothing more to support my current canon lens line up and for what I need i think it will give me better image quality im looking for at a price thats close to £500 cheaper than the R6 - I have to remind myself that since having...

I'm hoping to find out sooner rather than later... in comparison to my original post I feel I'm now leaning to a 1dxii as the cost used and performance uptick over my 7d combined with the amount of usage it will get is now outweighing the additional cost of the R6 Plus adaptor and tech I...

No problem. If it does fall through post on the forums as per the rules and let me know asap as I have cash ready. (price dependent of course)

I think I will.... although the 1dxii seems to be a tried and tested solution to the problem. Poor weather is also a concern and I have read the R6 weather sealing isn't as comprehensive as the R5 which i suspect the R3 betters.... I'm confident the 1dxii weather sealing was no compromise at its...

That's rhetorical! - But! nothing at all, if your photographing a Chess or Crib tournament . :)

likewise I'm sure its a great camera, like you I live in the UK so getting blueskies and sunshine rather than rain and heavy cloud on match day is rarity. Typically shooting mid week football at night under floodlights next to a river which often includes shooting in fog and mist and topping out...

Thank you for the detail. Its interesting to read a negative about the Camera. The internet is awash with glowing reviews that I was starting to wonder if there is not some sort of affiliate/commission going on :) - I think the test drive could be a really good option. Although image quality is...

Thank you for the comment. I cant stretch to the R5/R3 as I make zero income on the sports. Doing it mainly to help my local football club out and to get me out of my home office which I'm spending 16 hours a day living and working out of! :) ... that being said never say never and perhaps the...

Did you decide not to accept the MPB quote in the end, I did contact you via PM on how much you wanted for the 1Dxii

Thanks Mike. The Pentax 60-250mm you sold me is still going strong. Not taken it of the K1 since I received it in the post :) - back on topic I see others are penning their thoughts on the R6 so I'm hoping it provides me some guidance.

Hey folks. So, I'm in the market to upgrade from a Canon 7D to something newer. I think the Canon R6 is the route i'm going to take. My budget is around £2.5k Question: Is there any reason why I should consider the 1Dx Mark 2 (used) over the R6 (New)? From a pricing point I can get the R6 new...

I might be interested in the 1dx depending on price - i'm in Worcester.
