Thanks guys :-) Most appreciated

I'm sure this topic has been bought up before, but I am after some recommendations for file recovery software. I use a Mac, but also have a PC, so the platform isn't important, but I need to recover some NEF files from an SD card. I had a disaster and deleted them from my computer before I...

Thanks guys. I might pass on this particular lens as it looks a bit more complex than a straight forward adapter. No worries through as there are loads of others to choose from.

Hi Guys Does anyone own a Zenith 80 or know what lens mount the camera uses? I have the opportunity to buy a Zenith 80 lens and fancy experimenting with mounting it onto a Nikon camera, so need to find an adaptor, but I can't find any details on the mount it uses, expect that it might be an...

I hope this is OK to post in this section, apologies if not. I wanted to make people aware of a classified post I have just put up regarding my extremely rare 99 year old Kodak No.3A Junior camera. It is rare because it is converted to take 120 film so it is usable. If anyone knows about...

I hope this is in the right forum I know there's a few out there who dislike the likes of Facebook, instagram and twitter, but I have decided to create a Twitter account focused just on photography. I could do with followers and if you follow me I'll follow you back. Feel free to add your...

Hi Sian Welcome. I am also in Dorset. Good to hear from someone from my area :-)

I don't know if anyone will be able to help. I am looking for a Kodak No.5 portrait attachment. They are very old and I am having trouble finding one. There is only 1 on ebay and that's in the US. The few vintage camera shops I know (or found) don't have one and so I thought I'd ask on here to...

I'm photogav and personally love instagram

I had the good fortune of meeting the people behind Peak Imaging last weekend and it confirmed my opinion that Peak is a thoroughly lovely company. I have used Peak imaging for years. I used t use them for E6 processing and Black and white. Most recently I have used them for a 1917 Kodak camera...

I'm sure there are a hundred photographers who could do a better job, but I suspect MCN has done what a lot of magazines are now doing – using a free image. They don't want to pay money for quality when they can get by with a free image. I don't even think this is a studio shot. I think it's a...

And sadly that's why copyright infringement is so prevalent and stacked against the photographer in the UK. If it was seen as theft and damages awarded it might stop some of it.

hi Woody What is your FB page? It would be good to see the quality of your work before advising on price. In my local area there are several photographers who do this. One sells his prints from a van in a popular holiday spot. He charges £20 for his larger prints and I cannot believe he makes...

There's a reason pros can wait days for subjects to come along. The best way to get close to subjects is to know them and how they behave and adapt to them. Getting close to a subject to get the best pictures can be a case of getting into position when the subject is not there and waiting. It...

I second the Lowpro rucksack. I've used one for years and they are almost bomb proof
