    How much would you pay for binoculars? Or what features would you consider worth paying for?

    I decided that I didn’t want to buy without actually trying out a selection to see whether marketing buzz words contributed to perceived performance went to Cley Spy in North Norfolk where some very nice people let me play with an enormous selection, in an open field, without hassling me Ended...

    Strange artefact appears in photo

    That suggests to me that it is NOT in camera it‘s in the same location in the “real” world - either physical, or optical

    Strange artefact appears in photo

    You say shots 5 AND 6 were affected was the line in the same place in the frame, or in the landscape?

    Strange artefact appears in photo

    You say that this is one shot from a pano sweep assuming some overlap between shots: - if it appears in the adjacent shot it’s real, and outside the camera - if it does not appear in the adjacent shot it’s in camera

    Tripod head advice needed.

    As said above - I think a geared head is the way to go However, I've had success shooting the moon using a gimbal. perhaps consider the option that would suit your other preferred subjects/style - eg. gimbal if you shoot wildlife; geared head if you shoot landscape.

    Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner

    You say you scanned at 600dpi I’m not experienced with film scanning but this, surely, will result in a very low resolution image? I’d have thought you want at least 2400dpi but, as I say, I’m not familiar with film scanning

    Do I need a Tamron SP90 Macro Lens

    I've had a quick look at the spec for the Nikon 24-70 (pre VR) It seems that the max magnification is 1:3.7. This means that you'll fill the frame with a subject that's about 13cm long. A true macro lens will fill the frame with a subject that's 3.6 cm long HTH

    Do I need a Tamron SP90 Macro Lens

    A true macro lens will allow 1:1 reproduction. Your 24-70 will not. if your chosen subjects are not small enough to require 1:1 then there is not much to be gained by using a macro lens - except the advantages outlined by droj above. if you want to photograph ladybirds, ants, flies etc your...

    Lens problem

    Nikon lenses with a D suffix do not contain a focus motor. They need a body which contains a motor to drive them via a ‘screwdriver slot’ entry level camera bodies do not include a motor

    More on public videoing (and supposedly photography too)

    Thank you Typhoon7. At last - someone willing to believe Daniel ShenSmith CeMAP, LLB (Hons), LLM, MSoM (Black Belt Barrister). What could he possibly know about law? He explained in detail, with case histories, why St Pancras station is a Public Place. Not good enough for the barrack-room...
