Extention Tubes
Thanks for all your comments - I'll be on the look out. Just a thought regarding depth of field :- Say I use a 55mm lens and a tube extension and fill the AF frame in the viewfinder with a ladybird. The alternative is a 300mm macro lens also with appropriate tube to get the same sized image...

The Beginning
For me it was back in the late 60's when my father got an award for some pictures. I was not only taken in to the pictures but also by how many people where looking to him for more of the same. That was really the time when I understood the power a picture can have. I took pictures before that b...

marks on focus screen
Use a blower or learn to live with them - whatever you do don't be tempted to touch the screen as the fresnel side is very delicate and any scratches will appear worse than a few dust specks.

marks on focus screen
To be honest I just live with them now. Attempts to remove and air dust focus screens always seem to make things worse in my case!

It was probably a blower that put it there in the first place. :wink:

help me bring the right gear to my Bath skyline walk!
OK, this is my back garden, so to speak. I've not done the walk, but I'm familiar with a lot of the views that may present themselves. Definite starter on the camera, the 17-50mm f2.8. Good all round performer which will give you the range to get most of what will present itself. I keep my 16-50m...

SRS's website
Little hiccoughs can happen :( At least you were told very promptly and were told the order was cancelled, instead of leaving you wondering when the lens would arrive . There are far too many on-line retailers who would have eventually got round to informing you of this - I've a friend who ord...

There are far too many on-line retailers who would have eventually got round to informing you of this - I've a friend who ordered cycling parts from a retailer he had used many times . Delivery was normally pretty fast so when his stuff didn't arrive in a week he enquired - and was then told it was ...

Check the terms and conditions relating to web orders. Most companies state that you haven't entered a contract until they actually dispatch the item. Not very nice :( but since Kodak got stung a few years back it seems to be standard practice.

Been away too long
As much as I love my photography I normally only use my camera about once a month on average. I find the best thing to do is go somewhere new and force yourself to take pictures. After a while you start getting back into it.

Been away too long
Not been on here much recently. Just can't seem to get any ideas with my camera, or time to do anything. The worse thing is, the longer I go without picking the camera up, the less inclined I seem to be to try and make time. So, I've decided. By the end of April I'm going to get a shot which mak...

No Photography, No Viewing?
One to cross off the list then! The Imperial War Museum at Duxford are far more welcoming and have a collection I doubt anyone else could match. Last time I went on a sunny day there was a Spitfire having some engine tests (so that gorgeous Merlin startup noise on several occasions) and the Land ...

No Photography, No Viewing?
I'm just back from Chester cathedral. There was no problem taking photographs there thank goodness. I wanted to get photos of the Quire as my great(-great?) grandfather did the carvings. Just as well I could take pictures since there weren't any postcards of it. I've never been to the BoB museum ...

Just been through their feedback and to be honest I rather spend some more and buy from SRS. In particular this one stands out: Nightmare service, grey import, focus fail lens, item send back but no refund!!! Buyer: distilledvodka ( Feedback score of 7170) - 02-Feb-11 00:21 Tamron S...

Film Rescue International
That's the film I remember using in my very first camera, a Kodak Brownie 127. I have an old defunct Kodak Brownie 127 which was probably the camera used. No way of knowing now, of course. It'll be fun to see what comes back! K.

I bought a Katzeye screen and have never regretted it. Make a huge difference to using manual lenses. I bought it second hand so I am unsure exactly which version of Katzeye it is. K.
