srs discount question -
Stan - I always deal with SRS on the web. They are always helpful and efficient even with such an impersonal medium. I wouldn't worry to much about getting someone to phone for you. Any important telephone business is conducted by my wife, I often have to just go on the phone and authourise it, I ju...

What do you carry with you when you go out to photograph?
I always end up taking everything. I mean, So, my question is, how do YOU rreduce the gear you take with you? Have a small bag, so I simply cannot fit too much in there. Also I have back and shoulder problems, so can't take too much weight anyway. Take different gear on different days to make it ...

What do you carry with you when you go out to photograph?
Some good ideas here. I Stefans idea of taking just a specific lens and then working with that is a sound one. I dont have a prime lens yet apart from the 50mm macro (which i have not used and to date am not sure how to use it)but i would like to try a few primes though cost has so far stopped me ...

What do you carry with you when you go out to photograph?
I just got back from Melbourne and spent 2 days at the cricket and one day wandering around the city, I only took 3 lenses DA15mm, FA31mm and Voigtlander 125mm macro + 1.7x AF TC, no tripod or flash. I was very impressed with the quality of the voigtlander/TC combo at the cricket.

What do you carry with you when you go out to photograph?
A few years ago my step-daughter was reading my diary from when I was about seven. In it I complained that the other kids had been teasing me because I had bought so much stuff. But I really didn't know what to do with all my stuff, so I bought it along. Some 38 years later I am just as bad. I...

What do you carry with you when you go out to photograph?
I have two bags I generally use, for general walking around, an M-Rock shoulder bag just big enough for one body w/ a small-meduium lens mounted, another small lens, and my Tamron 70-300 or Pentax 75-300. (I prefer the Tammy, but, depending on which the other two lenses are, I may take the Pentax b...

What do you carry with you when you go out to photograph?
I think I must be quite fortunate in not having many lenses and kit to choose from then. When I go bush walking I take the 18-55 kit lens and the tammy 70-300, a spare set of batteries and a spare SD card. That pretty much coveres everything for me. I have a greater need for water than I do came...

US prices to your door
The main advantage os B&H, Adorama and Tri State are the price advantages if you are in New York or better still in another state as you save 8.25% state tax! i.e. if in Houston, order from B&H, pay Fedex next day delivery as it's a lot cheaper than the state tax. Other countries (most Gulf state...

US prices to your door
Well since you are a pentax enthusiast, which make is better?..... ....I came to pentax for DSLR because of the anti-shake as I was doing lots of on stage shots at the time. Previously, I was going to buy a minolta system but they went to Sony. I may well change back to Sony when the a900 come...

HELP.....Kenko Extension Tubes or similar....?
I have a set of Triplus extension tubes that have the aperture and lens control contacts. Alas, it does not have the AF screw (none do), and nor does it have the SDM AF contacts (which causes a few troubles for the DA*50-135) There is only one extension tube (think it was made by Kenko) that had ...

HELP.....Kenko Extension Tubes or similar....?
There is only one extension tube (think it was made by Kenko) that had the power zoom contacts as well - that would allow SDM focus ;) But... can I find them to buy??? :roll: Are you sure about the focusing? I have a Rokunar 2x teleconverter with the Power zoom contacts, but I can not get it to auto...

HELP.....Kenko Extension Tubes or similar....?
I have a Rokunar 2x teleconverter with the Power zoom contacts, but I can not get it to auto focus with an SDM lens Oh well :( I was assuming that with all contacts connected the camera and lens would talk to each other properly (because they can't know that an extension tube is there). Maybe there...

HELP.....Kenko Extension Tubes or similar....?
Apparently not all converters with the contacts actually have the contacts connected, i.e there is no link from the front to the back of the converter! Don't ask me why, but a user on here did report it, when I said 'well they are there so it should just bloody work!' And yes, the Tamron 1.4x...

HELP.....Kenko Extension Tubes or similar....?
Very interesting and informative! thanks to everyone. I've only been into DSLR 'properly' (ie off green mode) for 18 months now so this whole concept of reversing lenses is a little daunting Just for clarity I very rarely use auto focus on the macro work with my sigma so connections for this a...

Auto race at night
Well I'm back and it was fun and it lasted two hours longer then expected. Used a tripod and that worked quite well with lower shutter speeds and later even used a flash which worked great. :) Will post some photos when they are ready.

YOUR CHOICE ?
Only one tubed portable in the house. The rest are now LCD's. Wife was pushing me for a year to buy a large TV for the lounge. I delayed all year up until this November. Then let her buy a Samsung series 8 (my choice). She is now very happy and never has an issue with me buying more glass or the bit...
