No, I was just throwing it out there in the hope someone may have bought something similar. The originals go for £150 plus and according to some googling they can still be a little murky as to whether that are fakes or not

So camera people seem to go hand in hand with watch people so I’ll ask here first :) I’ve only just started wearing watches again. I only have a cheapies, 2 casios. I don’t have the budget nor do I want to spend a lot on watches but I really like the way chronographs look. I have seen this on...

Yeah I know what you mean. I think it’s part of this whole “buying isn’t owning, copying isn’t stealing” or something along those lines.

Is that how they back engineered it?

I have yet to try it so I have no idea if this works well or works well at all but someone has back engineered a few of Adobes programmes and put them on GitHub as open source. The biggest interest ones are “Lightroom” and “Photoshop” https://getartcraft.com/apps I have no idea how well they...

I've been going over a few photos I took last October in Cornwall. Its funny how when I'm at a location the photos I think are the best, whilst I usually still like them, get forgotten about when I go back to them and I find photos I didn't know I had taken. Like this one. It was taken on a...

yeah i just find that awkward, it works though

Hang on...its just started working again...will still try with the focus screen, when things start playing up I cant trust them anymore

I bought a Nikon D80 and the 35mm 1.8 DX lens so I could get somewhat close to the feeling of using a film camera without using film now my film usage has hugely dropped off. I was playing around with the lens this morning, it made a nasty squeal when I focused and now it will not auto focus at...

i forgot about FFordes. They dont seem to have a regular supply of stock though

Oh really, I thought MPB was fairly good. I’ll have a look around. I don’t think I’ve ever used wex

Really? I’ve only bought from MPB twice but never had an issue. I got my 23mm f2 from them and my 15-60 and they’re both good. Which companies have you bought from?

I suppose it’s probably worth it. It’s easier to return it if it doesn’t match the description. 25% is just a fair difference. I’m actually a little surprised those lenses still sell for that much. I was expected MPB to be in the £200 range, it’s getting on a bit now. It’s the only downside to...

I’ve been looking for a replacement split focus screen for my Nikon d80 so I can use it in manual focus easier. I’m having trouble finding one from anyone that isn’t aliexpress or china on ebay. I don’t mind either but I’d rather not have to wait months for either nothing or the wrong thing to...

I’m looking at getting the Fuji 18mm f2. On eBay they seem to be about £200-£220 in excellent condition, for the same condition on MPB it’s about £250-£270. Is the extra 25% or so worth it for the warranty and the safety that comes from getting it from a shop vs a person?
