I am no expert but have used it. I used to run it on a Xbox but not for a long time now. It was fast enough and worked well but noise and eats power. I tried running it on a few phones and tablets over the years but nothing I was overly happy with. For some time I ran it on my laptop plugged in...

I suffer greatly with cold hands and feet. I found a few things that help. Socks I like thick wool sock of a fine thread. I got some cheap Jeep ones for xmas that work great. If your feet are going to get wet try a set of sealskinz socks. The key is your socks and boots can NOT be to tight. As...

Luck pure and simple. I have seen people killed going much less. Though it sounds like one of the guys will never fully recover.

Welcome to the forum :)

When I was younger and still a student I worked one summer on a farm that mostly employed Polish workers. For the most part they where all very hard workers and I had no issue with them being in the UK. The simple fact was if British dropouts got off there lazy ass and worked rather than live...

What makes you say that? Can a OVF be used when visible light levels fall below the eyes usable level? Can a OVF give you exposure preview? Can a OVF give you black and white preview? Can a OVF give you IR preview? Can a OVF give you UV previews? These are just to name a few clear examples that...

Pixelated is all relative. I say this because it depends on your own sight. For many people the current generation of high end EVF are already at the point where the pixels become unnoticeable. But even if your one of the lucky 10% of the population with 6/5 vision the viewfinder should still be...

What iso are you shooting at? If its auto your camera will bump up the iso and make it very noise.

They are really nice. The B&W one overlooking the river capture a magic you don't see so often these days.

Agree with woof woof and Brazo technology has got the point where EVF actually offer many advantages these days. My little A7 is quickly becoming my most used camera.

I have got back in to A mount in a big way and love the Sony full frame cameras. If your after a cheap upgrade the A99 is going to drop in price once the A99 ii is out. The A99 has a significant real world ISO performance improvement over A77ii If you where looking at swapping platforms the...

Small world. I am with the Race-tek guys. I used to race but real world took over and priorities changed. Anyhow looking at your photos your not doing so bad. Are you using a monopod? If not for the longer shoots you may find it usefully. You are using very small apertures. You don't really want...

I used to do this quite often. If its only short racing the trick is to scout out the tracks and pick the best spot. What club are you involved in? We tend to do road sport and mr2 in the 750 club. Would be happy to show you a few places.

What iso are you tending to shoot at? The problem you likely have is that you have very slow glass and a camera with poor iso performance. In so most of the time you probably have to run to higher iso or very slow shutter. Most people getting in to motorsport will pick up a 70-200mm f2.8 and its...

I just got my c mount adapter today. I had some old high speed video lenses kicking about so thought why not. This is a crop from my Fuji 25mm F0.85 lens. And a link to the full image https://a3-images.myspacecdn.com/images04/8/fde16f2671274f8e8209bebcd9b00a71/full.jpg
