    What makes you keep a camera long term?

    I've had 2 D750's for a few years, then 2 d500's. With a variety of lenses they cover most of what I shoot. The last 2 cameras I purchased were a Sony RX10 MK1, then the MK4, as they were lighter than the Nikons. Am now mainly using the MK1 since the MK4 died and the latest MK5 is too expensive...

    I believe considetable numbers of potential tourists will think, stuff Trump, there's plenty of other interesting countries to visit. I've visited the USA twice, certainly never will again.

    How long do you want to live?

    Similar here. I do celebrate my birthday more than I used to, and each morning I wake and put the kettle on at around 5am, and say to myself, plan my day and make the most of it. Come late October I hope to celebrate a total stroke recovery aniversary, and with luck many more. I do take more...

    Help! IP Address Banned

    I only use Windscribe VPN on one of my Macs, not on my every day Mac as I'm using now. If I try to access the forum from my Mac running the VPN I immediately get a banned IP error. Then I simply quit the VPN or switch to the other MBP that doesn't run the VPN. Most times I'm used to dealing with...

    Nikon Z* mirrorless

    I have 2 D500's and a selection of zoom lenses, they meet all my requirements when shooting Live news for Alamy, I don't t see any reason to outlay more cash for mirrorless when considering they do their job very well.

    Scanning Film - why would you do it?

    Going back to when I shot film, 35mm 6x6, 6x7 and 4x5, earlier film was printed via a lovely Besseler enlarger then later scanned and inkjet printed, If I had a water meter in those days it would have cost me a fortune. Now I delve into my negative files and digitise either with a Nikon ES2...

    Just a query, wondering if anyone using the forum has had a stroke and how well they recovered?

    Interesting. I was taking aspirin while in the stroke ward, and for 3 days after discharge, then a single 75mg Clopidogrel daily since then. Yesterday morning I went walkabout just with a D500 and Nikon 80-400, plus my Sony RX100 in my pocket. I was only a 5 minute walk from home and edited and...
