Also, by pro camera, I normally mean bigger models, with extra grips like Z9, or biggest EVF, extra card slots, lots of custom buttons and other buttons specificly for some settings (like back in a days ISO, WB buttons were on biggest models) - Z8 being better choice for pros, doesnt mean cannot...

By pro I mean paid work, not the actual equipment. Simply, pro - paid work - need incredible fast AF for moving subjects, all those bells and whistles of latest body cpu, settings etc. So when I say pro, I mean someone (not like top experienced photographer) who does paid work - Z8 would be best...

I think that for amateur needs Z7II is more than enough. Z8 is a total pro in my eyes, but for travelling, if you really need 45MP, then z7ii is 100% enough. Weight wise - I just spent 2 weeks in Italy (40C heat) with Zf and 2 zooms - temperature prevented me from using my camera - it was that...

Yes and of course from insurer perspective, its not worth insuring something for just a length of a trip, but for a whole year. They do earn money from annual fees, otherwise it would not be worth paying a claim for maybe 1 on 100 insured items :) Obviously, our phtography equipment can be...

You are right, but thing is, I use my camera on trips, then it sits in a drawer for most of the time. I go on holiday once every 2 years. Some times I take my camera out for walk to the park, or take photos during birthday at home. That's it.

I'm same here - loking to cover my small kit for trip. I used Eversure before, but never had to claim. I'm getting same conditions like you above, only thing is excess is higher, I can only pick £250 minimum. For £3k kit (Nikon Zf with 2 lens) its quoting me £72. I wish I could cover it for...

I just purchased a nice Urth CPL 67mm here on our forum. I hope it may be useful next week on our trip to Italy (Venice, Garda, Florence, Pisa, Toscany) I believe Urth are pretty good too, is that correct?

Thanks for confimring this. SOunds like I should not worry about paying for those little cheaper filters. I see, so I udnerstand that I would see the effect straight in a viewfinder? Even with 17mm I should be able to find best result without those darker blobs by turning the filter?

Hoya looks expensive to me :) £94 for example this one. I was looking at this one, £30. I would be using it on 17-28mm - you're saying it may make sky artificial? Is it always the case with UWA lens? Should I maybe ditch the idea of cpl on this lens?

Hey gang! I'm going on a trip to Italy in few weeks (Venice, Garda, Florence) and its going to be very hot and sunny :) I was wondering, should I get a CPL filter for all those sunny days shooting? I'm not a pro, just an enthusiast shooting my family environmental portraits on our trips. I...

I like Chris Niccolls - he is a genuilly decent guy, great photographer. I would not concider him as influencer. Maybe he does influence someone with his reviews, but that is not his purpose in my opinion. Well, he once influenced me to get that canadian red check shirt though... :D Huge...

Nevermind, you can close this thread.

Anyone wants to buy one of those cameras? Reason I'm asking is I want to buy 24-120/4 lens which is in all those refurbished kits on Nikon UK. We could buy one of those kits, you take the body, I'll take lens. Anyone looking for one of those cameras...

Thanks, it looks like those modern scanners are simple solution for scanning prints. Unfortunately I do not have films for thsoe photos, when I was a kid, dad used to develop them, print and throw away films, we did not keep them back in 80s. Now when I'm getting towards end of the trip, I...

Like I said - just photos - old, printed photos.
