    E-Cigarettes

    Working in Vaping Retail, i'm getting the TPD question all the time now. In all honestly, for the consumer, not that much is going to change, the prices will probably increase slightly, and getting liquid made outside of the EU will be harder (but no impossible because there is still loads of...

    Apple Mac - should i buy?

    I've switched fully to all Thunderbolt storage now (bar my USB3 Lexar Reader - because its the same speed as the thunderbolt version , and a few old G-RAIDs that I've archived onto via FW800). Its honestly the best thing I've done. Nearly all of my work is Audio, but not having to wait around...

    Canon 5D mk II official owners/users thread, anything related to the 5D2

    Stepping into the FF world with Canon soon. My Leica is off to someone else, and hopefully i'll have a 5D mk2 and a 50mm 1.2 L in my hands early next week. Excited, plus REALLY want to get into the video side of things :) Have access to a 17-40L , 24-105L and a 100-400L , so hopefully lots of...

    Official Talk Leica thread

    Where are you finding M9s for 1500? M8s are still selling around 900 on eBay! As an FYI (slight plug) My M8 +35 1.4 is up for sale :)

    Official Talk Leica thread

    I don't find i'm particularly slower with the Leica than I would be with a DSLR. I still take the same amount of time to frame and compose the shot. Obviously AF is quicker though, but you get pretty used to the Leica quickly. Looking around though, I am very tempted to hack the Leica in for a...

    Official Talk Leica thread

    Couple more from the M8 in Krakow over New Years. Still REALLY undecided about keeping it. I love it for travel and the size, but its not flexible for anything else I think i'm interested in doing... (maybe i'll just buy a Canon Setup too :) )

    New Macbook Pro

    Maybe had it set to log in using your Apple ID/iCloud and not a local user password?

    Any knife/weapons collectors on here?

    Any knife/weapons collectors on here?

    I'm looking around for a small carry around folding knife, but i honestly have no idea where to even begin. I've got some friends who are really into the whole EDC thing and they seem to reckon Spyderco is the way to go? Anyone have any suggestions? Its something i always reach for before...

    Music streaming services

    I'm a total Spotify convert for all of my listen on the go. I 'liked' Apple Music, but it was instantly apparent that it streamed at a less bit-rate that Spotify Premium does. So much so that the day the beta came out, me and a friend downloaded it instantly, and within 20 min of playing around...

    Return of Vinyl Records

    Its all about how your ears are trained though. I'm cursed/blessed with near perfect pitch. So its REALLY hard for me to listen to a lot of things, but i will notice a pitching or timing error. But if you just like listening to music, and your ears are adept to picking up, for example 'Ohh...

    Return of Vinyl Records

    Because i work in the Audio Production/Music world, i was in two minds about joining in on this, but what the hell :) A CD by nature is a 44.1/16bit medium, and is uncompressed. Meaning that its easy to rip an uncompressed WAV from a CD and loose nothing, however, depending on the encoder you...

    Billingham Hadley Pro

    I don't really care, how i get the shirts/cameras in there, along as they all fit, i was thinking if i got the Leica in sideways (i.e screen facing the side of the bag), and then used a dividers to sandwich that in place, rolled up t-shirts would fit vertically in the rest of the space in the...

    Billingham Hadley Pro

    Does anyone have one? About to pull the trigger on one from eBay (can stomach the new price!), and hoping to use it a travel bag. I do lots off short weekend/3-4 day trips across Europe, and pack SUPER light, i haven't checked luggage for years within Europe now. I'm hoping i can get my...
