WOT??
I notice that a lot of Oxfam stuff ends up on Ebay, these days. Maybe they just don't have anyone who can value this sort of kit properly. In one of our local charity shops, a few years back, there was a 135/f3.5 tele lens by one of the not-very-distinguished makers at £39.95. I looked at it, saw...

a couple of things bags and tablets
I have a really small Bamboo tablet. I find it useful for some things but mostly when just playing with effects and the like, since I now try to do a minimum of PP. I do use it for drawing on occasion too. For a while I used it almost exclusively instead of a mouse, just for normal computing, but I...

Which Filter for Spain?
I've had similar thoughts of late while looking at my DA* 50-135mm. Obviously with a lens this good you don't want to buy cheap £5 Hong Kong special filters, so I've been thinking about what I really want so I can save for a decent one. So far I've come up with a polarizer, and can't think of anythi...

Cameras with K mount
Miranda MS3 - my first SLR! Mine was a Miranda MS-1, bought in '86 from Dixons. I gave it to my stepson when he started doing Art at college about 7 years ago, he still uses it now. I got given a Chinon CE-5 a couple of years back, it's got a f1:3.5/4.5 28-50mm zoom which I'd totally forgott...

Anyone know where I can get some good binoculars advice?
You don't say for what purpose so I'll presume they would be used for wildlife/birding. Like good lenses, good bins are not cheap, but the extra investment is definitely worthwhile. Unless you intend spending most of your time watching sea birds, you should limit your search to those having an ex...

Anyone know where I can get some good binoculars advice?
Unless you have very steady hands I suggest the maximum magnification to go for is 10. Prsjnb's comment about exit pupil is important. You could get really compact binoculars such as 10x25 but the exit pupil is 2.5mm. In low light the view these would give would be very dim. This sounds as if ...

Anyone know where I can get some good binoculars advice?
If you know what you want then amazon seems to have some decent prices. I am not sure where you are located but I know that the WWT wetlands centre at Barnes has a showroom with binoculars and scopes which seems like a good outfit. I agree that there are a baffling array available and at a huge rang...

Anyone know where I can get some good binoculars advice?
With binoculars try before you buy. Visit an RSPB reserve, InFocus event, Wildlife trust etc... handle a range of binoculars of different budget ranges. This will enable you to directly see the difference for the price regarding low light, ease of use, fringing, weight, field of view, close focus...

Maximum ISO
lol...Best team in the Land Tim. Manchester City. The very front row of the stand Im in, is the last to fill up. As its right on pitch level. So not a very good viewing angle for the pitch as a whole. But should be fine for close ups. Though the forecast is for rain, and the front rows are not cover...

Maximum ISO
My experience is use whatever ISO you need to. If the shot is in focus and has the correct shutter speed (depending on what effect you are going for) the you can live with the noise. If it's out of focus, has camera shake and has too much blur it won't matter that there is no noise.

Charming photography site
I saw this a while ago, nice to see they have it on Tumblr now, faster and uniform. I have a photo stored somewhere of me back in early 80's with Stonehenge in the distance, and me again at the very same spot 20 years later. Now off to find it...

Tripods tripods tripods (Advice on Giottos Vitruvian pls)
I've got one of those. Previously I had a Manfrotto but it was the most poorly constructed item I've ever seen - the legs had fiddly clips. I almost never used it, and then on its third or fourth use several of the clips simply crumbled to pieces. I've glued it back together as a stand for a flas...

Pentax uk Ltd
Many thanks Alan and Gwyn. Since my last post I have found the original, Tesco, installation disc in the back of the cupboard, and it is “Microsoft Internet Explorer”, that they use. Never looked before, as I had it installed, by the computer engineer that installed my computer. Take care.

I am not a number
I think it was in Manchester that someone did an experiment, stopping people and asking could they remember their bank card PIN? "I think so, it's 1234" or whatever number was quite a common response. Interesting. And meanwhile an accomplice is stealing their wallet/purse:shock: There was a study...

The number had to be added so that JP Service Solutions could identify who was entitled to the 20% discount on Pentax repairs. This was done quite quickly so that someone could send their camera back for repair. Most clubs have membership numbers that are used for one thing or another.
