My Nikon F5 bought in Hong Kong on a visit when my brother worked out there on the new Chek Lap Kok airport in the early 90's, I doubt I will ever sell it, it gets occasional use, is still mint, and I still have the original box etc. I've also still got, and still use a Hasselblad 500cm which...

I was a Bowens user for many years when I had my small studio, they worked for me and I never thought to change, the challenge came when shooting outside, first using a Tronix inverter, then the Bowens pack, just too much kit and weight. I first encountered Godox on a trip up to Garry Edwards...

Ordered a Z8 from Cotswold on the 14th of this month and it has turned up this morning, excellent service from them once again.

The latest Tamron 28-75, 70-180, and a Z 85mm f/1.8S, all with similar results.

I predominantly shoot models and on a recent trip to Mallorca I had issues with the eye autofocus on my Zf nailing focus, lighting conditions were perfect, no confusing patterns, plain coloured clothing, and still the hit rate was 50/50, it was on the latest firmware too, it has driven me to...

I chose the ETRSi over the Mamiya 645 when I was shooting medium format, the ability to change film backs / polaroid backs was the main thing, I also liked the way the lenses rendered. A cracking camera!

I reckon an interesting landscape would suit my intentions.

My boss has a couple of Porsches, a 911 Dakar, and a Cayman GT4, I'm looking for a cool location to do some images in the Yorkshire area, I am based in Doncaster. Thanks in advance.

I'm taking one with me to Mallorca tomorrow, so I will see how I get on using it as a bit of fill, if no good then I will use the AD200.

Ordered a Tamron 70-180 2.8 G2 last Monday, paid a little extra for expedited shipping, arrived this morning by RMSD, can't fault the service.

Just succumbed to temptation and bought a Tamron 70-180 f2.8G from Cotswold Cameras for £749.00, I'm off to Mallorca shooting on the 25th and fancied something longer than my 85mm for beach shoots.

Handy little flashes, perfect for travel photography, I have 2 and use them along with an AD200 Pro when doing location shoots, great to have in the bag, and small enough to put in a jacket pocket.

I was fortunate enough to win a 501CM in a Photo Answers portrait competition back in 2009 I think, as I already had a 500CM, I sold it through Amateur Photographer classifieds and bought a 150mm, and an A24 back and some other bits which I still have and use occasionally when I want some...

Had a serious bought of gas recently since getting the ZF, I have also purchased a 40mm f/2 SE, a 24-70mm f/4 (now selling as not impressed), a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 G2 and just this morning pulled the trigger on a Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 G2, plus various 67mm filters. Hopefully the condition will...

Me too, bought one a while back as I missed shooting Nikon, and recently dropped on another mint boxed body with 11K clicks, so now I am well armed with 2 plus the ZF. :giggle:
