I got an Urth ND 100mm filter and was really impressed. Miles better than a big stopper

I can't see it being an issue unless the sun shines through the lens. If I ever build an office in teh garden I will probably do the same. I lost a lens cap on Sunday. An old Nikon one will do the trick while I buy a knock off Sony one

Funny day with my A1s. A few problems with both cameras but an amazing experience photographing the Scottish Cup winning legend that is Sir David Gray. Not often you know you are taking photos money can't buy that will be cherished by those who receive them. A warm glow from that and being...

I'll try to recreate them again. I usually blame myself first and that may have been the case with the focussing on teh background because I was getting pretty flustered and the normal focus at my feet technique was not available as I was on a tripod taking a series of images that were all meant...

A few issues after updating to firmware 2.01 on my A1s. One camera lost connection to my phone yesterday, typically when I was needing to send by FTP. Tooke about 30 minutes to sort as it kept on asking for the wifi password despite it connecting as expected previously. I ended up deleting and...

I mirrored the settings from the old to new firmware. They were both set to 30 mins shutdown. It will be interesting to see if it has any effect on battery life

Formatting is quicker too by a good margin. I also left the camera in my Peli all night switched on and it was cold and only used 20 percent of one battery. Previously it would have got very warm and been out of battery completely. I think this update may be better than I had anticipated and is...

Having done a good test today I would say the transfer between camera and phone is now quicker for me. The biggest and most obvious difference is start up time. It is miles better and for those that switch cameras on and off often then that might be a decent plus point. One of my genuine...

I have bit the bullet and updated the A1s to firmware 2.01. First camera went well and after a bit of testing now going through the process for the second camera. Already a few features I really like. Pressing a single button to protect and FTP an image would have been requested since A9 days so...

The camera club I belong to have started to do a project on a local historic ship. The SS Explorer was a Government ship who was involved in some of the early climate change science, fish and oil industry surveys and it is said she once saved a stricken Rainbow Warrior. She was scrapped twice...

My ael button gradually zooms back out. play button back to full view. Cant recall if I set them up or that is teh default though. Probably the former as I use every custom play button for cropping, ftp, protect etc

That is the same as the A1. You can set af on to be 100% or last viewed magnification from what I recall

Agreed, a brilliant photographer and a very good piece of TV. Art is about as rigged as everything else in teh UK and it wouldn't surprise me if her subject matter was too embarrassing to the mates of those who held the purse strings of Art Grants. Such a shame acclaim came too late but very...

Very sad news, RIP Cobra

Fisheye and Tilt would be good. I need to get an adapter for the Sony a mount fisheye I got
