A few from London on Sunday night. It'll be my last trip into London for many months as I find the streets rather unpleasant with crowds of people loitering taking selfies and don't get me started on those pedicabs with flashing lights, loud music, charging tourists £400 for a 20 min ride...

I once bought a Nikon D7100 to replace my D90. At the time the D7100 was 2 generations newer and was actually Nikon's "flagship" DX body (since by then they'd discontinued the D300s), so I had high hopes with a new sensor and the claimed "D4 AF module". I was so disappointed with everything...

:agree: They convey a warm and friendly atmosphere.

I agree with David and Paul. I've never used the 50-140mm, but I have the 90mm and it's my favourite XF prime lens to use. It's virtually identical in optical performance to the much optically heralded older 56mm f/1.2 (which I also have) - they're both insanely sharp wide open with lovely...

A couple from the GFX50SII & GF23mm. I have to say I'm really enjoying the variety of photographs in this section, we all seem to photograph different things. When Fuji announced the GF20-35mm I thought I'd regret getting the 23mm, but then I saw the weight and price of the 20-35mm which put...

One from autumn last year, in fact the only picture I took due to the horrendous weather that put me off visiting again in autumn.... High Aira Force by Stuart Mac, on Flickr

After reading David's response to my comment about being too embarrassed to share my pictures on here, I've decide I'm going to make a more conscious effort with all my photography going forward and that includes being more active on here. For me photography is just a hobby which encourages me...

There's so much character in these facades,, I love the retro signage and the architecture. Kind of reminds me of Cuba or a step back in time when the streets were awash with little independent businesses.

Love the style of the cafe frontage with the wooden panelling and the browns with the greens.

My heart sank today when I discovered that Fujifilm have now included the GF110mm f/2 on the promotional list with £500 off until 18th Jan.............. aaaaaaaaargh that means 6-7 weeks of mental torture for me...

I'd either look at the 17-55mm f/2.8 zoom, a 35mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8 prime. Nikon did a really nice 35mm f/1.8 DX lens which was sharp wide open and delivered excellent IQ. The 50mm is also an option as it's fairly cheap for a prime and versatile - easily the best value for money lens I've...

I used to love using the Nikon D700 for candid street shots (mainly for the colours and AF) but it had the loudest shutter slap in the world and the whole neighbourhood could hear it.

A few months ago I picked up the Z fc in Wex and set off the alarm. I try to keep away from camera shops and photography exhibitions incase I buy anything. Probably the worst shop to visit is Grays as I find the staff can be quite pushy into getting you to make a purchase and finally they...

Agree, the light in the Med always comes out nice in photographs too. I'm too embarrassed to share my GFX photos when I see these examples, mine would look acceptable in a M4/3 forum if I removed the EXIF :ROFLMAO:

The problem I find with taking a camera to an event I'm interested in is I end up concentrating on taking pictures and miss out on enjoying the event. To make you laugh I bought a Fuji XF23mm f/2 lens about 6 years ago and I've taken no more than 5 pictures (on one occassion) with it lol. The...
