Peak Design 20L Every Day bag - Have to say it is one of the best made bags I've ever owned. You can customise the inside however you like, lots of storage, waterproof. And it's made of 100% recycled materials if the environment matters to you! :)

I don't know it is about some parts of this forum being so toxic, especially when people are asking questions. Don't assume everyone has the same knowledge as you. It would depend on the engagement as to whether you should use something more professional to deliver (like...

Taken back in Summer and first image I've ever processed in Capture One (Currently on the trial). I am usually drawn to softer tones and this is the direction I went for with this edit. Captured on a Fuji X-T3 and 55-200mm.

I’ve been using it since release and have had zero issues with it. I actually love the way it looks and operates, feels very modern. But then I also like the iPad and iPhone styling so maybe that’s why!

I picked up a Minolta X300 on eBay which while a bit grubby when I got it, cleaned up into excellent condition. It came with two lenses and cost me £60 in total. I've put a few rolls of film in and it has been great.

I use OneDrive to back-up all of my RAW files. I have a Mac and have OneDrive looking at an external drive to sync with the cloud. Works a treat. For 59.99 a year for 1TB and the MS Office suite is a bargain.

For me there are a few important ones that I always follow: Thomas Heaton James Popsys Jared Polin (FroKnowsPhoto) John Branch IV Taylor Jackson Michael Shainblum - (Surprised he hasn't been mentioned).

Or download the free version of Capture One Express for Fuji?

it isn’t a crop, no but it is a low res version (upload limits on the site)

Here is one from a recent trip to Scotland. Not overly happy with the style of the edit, but I’m not sure what it is missing. Photographed with the Fuji X-T3 and 55-200mm. Would love to know what you feel could be improved

Thank you for all of the replies - The camera arrived Saturday and after a bit of a clean up of it and the lenses I've checked a number of the things you've all mentioned. All of the shutter speeds seem to fire properly, the film advance lever works properly and is smooth. It also came with its...

As the title suggests I’ve just bought a Minolta x300 with two lenses on eBay and am waiting for it arrive. I haven’t used a film camera since school (20 years ago). Is there anything I should be checking on camera to make sure I’ve got a good working on?

I'd imagine they will simply replace the devices that are currently on the market and be no more expensive than the current ones. I've read rumours that the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 13 will be the first to get them and we may see them end of the year/early 2021. You are probably looking in...

Fuji X-T30 for even an X-T3 (they are under £1000 new now due to the X-T4). Fantastic cameras, compact and has a great selection of lenses.

100% with you - it is the worst time to buy a new Mac now with the ARM ones on the horizon. I've got the 2018 MacBook Pro 13 and I am holding on until the ARM ones come out before I think of upgrading.
