Thanks for the comments, I’ll have a look

Old thread revival…. I was bought an old press photo of Alec Issigonis as a gift that hadn’t been published. I was pleasantly pleased that the info on the back stated it was a Jane Bown shot. I had it mounted and framed with glass on the back so the back of the photo can still be seen

Looking for help with my first star tracker to help with Milky Way shots. I have an R6 MK2 and my son has a NIkon ZFC so it must work with both as I’m not sure if they are universal as I’ve never used one. I don’t need a top spec unit but I also don’t want something that will need upgraded after...

Thanks for the replies, appreciate the help

Me and my son have been trying to get some Milky Way shots. We get images of the milkyway but they dont ‘pop’ and they aren’t like the ones that you see posted with loads of depth and clarity. Is this possible without a star tracker? Any help and tips are greatly appreciated....

Probably low light iso quality, I’ve had my current camera for about 8 years and with the advancement in technology I just thought I’d look at upgrading

I like the size of the 1d but it is a heavy unit after a while hence throwing the 5diiii in there

I’m looking to update my camera body but no idea which way to go. I’m a low user amateur but enjoy getting out with the camera to chill out. I have no particular style I just shoot what I like. I‘m a Canon user so due to the few lenses I have I will probably stay with the brand. I currently have...

He found a guide on YouTube which showed exactly what you posted. Appreciate the reply as it was bang on The latest ‘struggle’ is to get his phone to connect as a remote as it keeps failing at the same point..... appreciate the help

Lifesaver, I’ve asked him to research it tomorrow as there’s a few other things he can’t get to work but I just wanted to see if it’s going to cost me money

Probably a stupid question, apologies in advance.... can you Manual focus on the kit lenses? There’s no switch on the lens so I’m hoping there’s a setting somewhere In camera as my son wants to do some light trail images but can’t see how to set as manual focus. Please don’t tell me I need to...

Thank you

So, I bit the bullet and bought the ZFC 16-50 / 50-250 kit for my son, it is almost Christmas...... He’s currently charging it and reading the instructions to see what’s different over his d90. Looking at accessories the small rig grip seems to be a good choice and a third the price of Nikon‘s...

The Z50 doesn’t have the same retro ’look’

Thanks, I was looking at the kit with the 16-50 and 50-250 lenses which would pretty much cover all options in one go without needing adapters. Maybe worth paying a dealer a visit so he can have a hold of one to see how it feels.
