Backpack woes...
Bought a Dakine Sequence Photo Backpack Early this Year. http://www.dakine.com/sport-packs/photo/sequence/ Because, well because I'm sick of Lowepro really... Not that they've ever done me any harm but they always seem heavy for what they are. Unfortunately it has a Flaw with the Harness arrangeme...

Backpack woes...
National Geographic have just extended their range of bags tremendously. Maybe there is something there to suit you. I have a Tamrac Expedition 5 which is just about perfect for me being extremely comfortable to wear and holding my K-5 with 17-70 lens plus the Bigma and the 60-250, with room for...

Pixels per dot...a printing question
It used to be said with film that if you could make a 10inch x 8inch print that looked sharp..... It was sharp enough to enlarge to any size, because holding a 10x8 print in your hand was far more critical than standing back looking at a large print on a wall. Any calculations would involve the c...

PSE9 on XP
Both computers have the maximum amount of RAM that can be used with 32bit systems. There was a time when I would have known the number, back in the good old days when RAM was measured in KBs. :oops: Anyway, am running an Athlon dual 64x2 3800 with 2 GB RAM, whatever all that means.. Hopefully ...

Certainly not as cheap as that but I'm using my Tamrac Rally bag [ Messenger type ] and finding it's simply great. Chris at SRS was exceedingly helpful as I asked them for help re sizing , and then settled on the Rally 6. It was first used at the Glasgow Meet and then I had it in Dublin for ...

Another Bag Thread
I see from the second photo that the 12-24 has a 77mm filter thread. Since my widest lens (the Sigma 10-20) has the same, it looks as if the Hadley Pro would be useful. My only concern (aside from the cost :P) is that the description on Billingham's website mentions the "waterproofed back pocket", s...

The bag is waterproof all over. Waterproofed back pocket refers to there being a small flap that protects the zip and prevents that being a weak point. Billingham bags are specially treated canvas with waterproof membrane. They do survive the worst weather with no problem. In the secong pictur...

Devils Advocate, 300 which from memory isn't that much bigger really and because you'll sometime want that extra little bit of space. I've been there with loads of bags that I end up flogging because I buy something that extra that I just hate leaving behind. It's what makes bags end up in the back ...

I love my Kata 3n1 Doublesling bag, it would carry all your kit plus a waterproof coat and drink bottle,and when swung round in front it is great for lens changing.On your back with both slings in use the weight is shared out between shoulders and waist.

Pano tool comparison
I note that Serif offer a money-back guarantee, so I've raised a ticket regarding PP4, suggesting that it isn't fit for purpose when ICE can repeatedly stitch ones that PP4 makes a mess of. Although £14.99 is cheap it is still too much when it doesn't actually work on the majority of wide-angle pan...

DIY bag
I used carpet underlay offcuts - the better quality stuff - and stitched on a cloth covering, all in a Victorinox sling bag I picked up cheap. Made up 3 compartments, camera with lens plus 2 lens, and a flap to fold over the top so I could load a jacket etc. on top. Construction was simply a fro...

Defining CSC
Technically the LCD screen is a viewfinder and electronic, is it not? I don't think so in this context. That is, as a replacement for a pentaprism or other optical viewfinder. That implies an eye-level view and all EVFs are very small, with an eyepiece for viewing. A screen on the back of a camer...

Defining CSC
A screen on the back of a camera has never been called an EVF. I think we know what a viewfinder is. I think it's in the grey zone the EVF. A viewfinder is something you look through to see the image, you clear look on the LCD on the back but since there are still lenses with an EVF you at least ca...

Another Monitor Question...
An option you might want to consider in the short term, and one that doesn't require the purchase of a monitor calibration device, is to use the default settings on the Eizo with your current printer and paper(s) and get an ICC colour profile, which corrects for differences between the on screen and...

Not really told off, but sometimes we can over-think things. You seemed to indicate you wanted the best you could for a reasonable price. No idea whether the U2311 is equivalent or not, it's back to research to answer that one!
