    Canon 24-105mm- Strange Black Mark at bottom of the image

    Are you using a pop up flash? If so most probably a shadow being cast from the longer lens

    Amazon are selling Transcend 32GB CF 400x (Read 90mb / Write 60mb) cards at an amazing price of £28.99 in the black friday deals. I have the 16GB version and have been impressed when using a 5d mark ii for video. These cards normally retail around £40. The deal starts today at 4pm so don't...

    I (didnt) Won Charlie Waites Landscape Photographer of the Year 2012 LPOTY

    Really awe struck at the impact the delamere has! Just a side q/a - Do you find it difficult to evaluate the strength of you're own work?

    70-200mm F4 - how essential is IS?

    I bought the non IS recently and have been very impressed with the image quality. I've used lower cost IS models and they don't compare. I will say you can get away with 1/60 at 200mm with IS but def need 1/200 at 200mm non IS. Outside in daylight this won't be a problem but inside you may...

    Bargains Thread

    Like the colour rendition especially in the second. What did you shoot it with. Fancy having an experiment with film at some point.

    Convince my friend to buy decent glass?

    Fair point but within the normal range you can explore a lot of different types of photography than investing in the extremes of uwa and telephoto. Landscapes are not excludively shot with a uwa. Not much is off limits apart from the telephoto end and you can pick up a cheap zoom for not much...

    Convince my friend to buy decent glass?

    I'd say your better off having a solid foundation in the normal range on which to build. A lot of people hold on to their kit lens as you hardly get anything on selling. If the tamron is only 100 quid extra its no brainer.

    Convince my friend to buy decent glass?

    I think it is a bit daunting for the beginner to the dslr world that the camera isn't the single consideration and that lenses are equally if not more important. Also the shock horror that they can cost as much if not more as the cameras. I'd tell him... If you invest in a lens (unlike other...

    Amazon market place seller, used d7000. Too good to be true?

    Looks a bit too good to be true! the storefront says babyliss isn't that a hair products brand. Someone could of had their amazon account hacked. Normally things on amazon are marked up i find. 5d mark 3 is £1222 crazy prices. If you get "guarenteed protection" with amazon maybe worth a punt...

    Jacobs Filters - Premium Quality?

    I don't see any mention of multi coating on the packaging. Tho i did shine a 60w bulb at it to compare any flaring and there wasn't any noticeable difference. Correct me if that's not a definitive test as i was improvising.

    Jacobs Filters - Premium Quality?

    I'd definitely place the 77mm Slim ND4 at the higher ends of the market. Can't see much if any difference under good lighting between the ND4 on and off. Obviously I won't be breaking mine to test whether its shatter-proof but that could be a consideration between an own brand and known brand...
