Hi all. Just wanted to pick your brains on whether anyone knows good places to find parts for older lenses, or even to buy older broken lenses with the purpose to using it for parts. I find some bits on ebay, but not for the lens i'm looking for. The lens i'm interested in is a Canon EF 85mm...

Hi all, Long time since I have been on here what with a break in photography but I have been inspired to get going again. We are considering a holiday in Wales this year during the summer and I was considering as part of that to go that valley place where you can photograph RAF jets doing...

Hi everyone. I've been going through a bag of old photography gear that was left to me by a relative. There's some interesting pieces, including an immaculate Nikon FE which I'm tempted to keep to play with. But, on that body was the Tokina AT-X 28-85mm lens. I'm not yet able to post pictures...

Has anybody used lenspimp before? I was thinking that as an alternative to paying out lots of money on a lens to take on my holiday it might be easier to just hire one, that way if I don't like the results I'm getting from the lens at least it's going back anyway edit. I would either be hiring...

I have been looking into getting my first circular polarising filter and maybe a set of ND ones, and I have been debating whether to get magnetic or screw-in ones. One strong advantage that magnetic filters have is their ease of use apparently. However, does this matter if I'm not planning on...

Hi. I have a Nikon D3300 and the kit (18-55mm) lens currently, but would like to get another lens. I’m looking at budget/cheaper lenses, although I’d rather pay a slight bit more and get a better lens then get the cheapest possible and be slightly disappointed with it. I’m a beginner in...

Hi I’m new to this forum but have been lurking for a while. I’ve always wanted to try out photography but I’ve never really done anything except taking photos on my iPhone. I have completely no idea what I’m looking for and all the information I read about specs at the moment goes straight over...

Hi all, I haven't posted on here for a while but I'm planning on going on a 3 week safari this summer and I was planning on upgrading my camera for the trip. My original plan was to hire both camer and lenses because I haven't been using my camera much recently, but for the cost of hiring a...

Tokina AT-X 12-28mm F4 PRO DX Lens - CANON EF £99 at UK Digital https://www.ukdigital.co.uk/tokina-atx-12-28mm-f4-pro-dx-lens-canon.html

Just stumbled upon a seller who has blatantly written in the item description that serial number is removed from the lens. Looks like stolen item or it's legit?

Hey all! Just a quick one, I'm looking at renting some lenses and maybe a 2nd work horse body for certain shoots (Mainly sports so bigger lenses 400mm etc.) What website do you use or know about that would be good for this? Decent prices etc. CHEERS!

I primarily have shot with Nikon and only shot with my D500 however, I'm looking to upgrade my kit finally to get myself a 400mm lens and another work horse sports body. I currently have a Sony A7R3 and was wondering what peoples thoughts were on using that and a 400mm f2.8 lens would be like...

Hey everyone... I've been looking for a good second hand Nikon 400mm f2.8 for a while and was wondering what websites you would usually use to find these 2nd hand lenses

I got myself a Hama HR12 which is a mirror tele lens that gives a 12x magnification. The only details I have of it are: Lens for video cameras Thread connection: 46mm Mirror reflex Magnification: 12x Diameter: 76mm Length: 215mm Weight : 530g End of production: 1989 My issue is that I...

TLDR - I own a Polaroid SX-70 and I want to be able to attach lenses to it, how would I do that? Brief info on the camera: A quick expert from a wiki page - “The SX-70 has a folding body design, a 4-element 116mm f/8 glass lens, and an automatic exposure system. The camera allows manual focus...

Hi everyone, I used to own a Canon G15 and I was always pleased with the reach the the lens would get. It was simply easy to use, I could take normal photos, or telephoto ones. However, I would like a better upgrade this time, and I am wondering what lens would come closer in terms of how far...

I'm totally new to this website so hello! I'm a photography beginner who's wanting to take it a bit more seriously, and am looking for recommendations! I have a Canon EOS 7D (mark I) and am looking for the best landscape/wide angle lenses that you guys use and would recommend please? I...

Hi all I recently picked up a used Nikon D300 (which is now my favourite thing in the world!) along with a functional AF 70-300m lens. So far, although I’ve a lot to learn, I’ve taken some reasonable shots as I get to learn how this camera works. One of the reasons I decided to dive into...

I read the new Canon R mirrorless camera with the mount adapter can use all my old lenses, EFS and EF, Canon and Tamron. What's the catch? If my old 60d has a cropped sensor, as opposed the R series which is full frame, will that make any difference using my lenses?

I'm thinking of visiting Welsh Mountain Zoo on Saturday. It's fairly near to me, but have never been (am a member of Chester and have been to Blackpool etc). There are a few photos taken on here, but not many and mostly from quite a few years ago. Same on Flickr (i.e. doesn't seem to be many...

Hi I'm pretty new to photography, I bought a Canon 77d with an 18-55mm about 6 months ago. I travel a lot so usually my shooting is on the go, capturing the moment before it passes by. I have found that with the 18-55 I am missing shots as I don't have the chance to get close enough to the...

I have a Canon EOS 7d and I am after a versatile lens that could cope with landscape/portraits/wildlife. I've done a little bit of research which has lead me to the 70-200mm 1:2.8. Can anyone give me help/tips/suggestions with what lenses and specs I should look for. I do have a limited budget...

hi all, Just a quick question, I have had a 35mm about a year now and love it, I mainly take portraits and so was wondering if it would be worth me getting a 50mm as well to maybe get some more dramatic backgrounds as I have a crop camera it will be like a 80mm which is bordering on telephoto...

Hi, I'm a pretty novice photographer. I have a Canon ES 650D. I am going to northern Chile and want to try and take a photo of the Milkyway. Could anyone advise me of some of the lenses that would help capture a good photo? I'm hoping a lens that isn't too expensive but gives good enough...

I've had my Nikon D40 for about 10 years, and about 5-6 years ago problems with the autofocus started to appear. I have two lenses, an 18-55 and a 55-200, and first one went then the other ( I can't remember which went first). It eventually got to the point that the autofocus now never works...

Hi all I have the Sigma 18-300 and I love the lens, but i'm confused with the software which we can use. What settings does everyone have on the lens to get the best results out of the lens? It is being used on a Nikon D5300

Hi I am looking for a lens that would start at 16-18mm and go up to 100-200mm for my sony nex. I identified the following: 18-105 - mixed opinions regarding sharpness; 18-200 (old silver) - very good opinions; 18-200 ( new black) - mixed opinion; Possibly 16-70z which is slighyly too short...

Hey everyone. Being new to all this I ordered a second hand Canon 350D recently which was meant to come with an 18-55 kit lens. I only really looked properly at the numbers now and it appears that they have sent me a 38-76 mm f4.5-5.6. Basically I want to ask you guys if I have been ripped...

Hi, I sent a lens to be cleaned by Nikon, they have had it for MORE THAN A MONTH and it has only just started being worked on. In my opinion, this is absolutely terrible service. Is this normal/has anyone else experienced them being so ridiculously slow?

Photography is not a profession but a hobby. I like traveling and have a thing for taking great landscape photographs. Clicking pictures of beaches, rocks, mountain peaks and beautiful landscapes is something I love. Have already purchased Nikon D3200 with 18-55 kit lens and a tripod. As I said...
