Purchased a Samsung/Schneider D-XENON 50-200mm F4-5.6 a much maligned lens but for £25 from CEX who will buy it back tor £16 when I'm done I think it's a steal. I'm going to Mexico in May and Italy in August and decided to get this rather than take my 55-300 PLM. The day after I purchased an As new ...

Won on a well known internet auction a Sigma 24-70mm. In the listings the images showed the lens hood attached but when it arrived there was no lens hood. Annoying as I've now messaged the seller 3 times and they haven't responded to them :evil: The goods are therefore not as described & you can get...

A DFA 50mm f2.8 macro in the SRS 10% off sale, the second in my small lightweight primes. However just after I clicked the order for it I had a phone call to tell me the Leica D-Lux 7 I had a reserve on was at long last in stock: just the one so did I want it? Of course I had to say yes so they both...

So the seller has finally responded by sending me a few messages and contacting eBay so they're now calling me. After no correspondence from them for weeks they now are going all out which I find annoying as when the boot was on the other foot they were happy to let 2 weeks pass with no messages etc...

£250.00 repair job for a dropped lens... not really an acquisition, but it came back like new so feels like it! :D

At one time we had a member on here who had the Sigma AF Superwide II almost permanently attached. Can't think of his name- possibly from the Netherlands - possibly switched to Fuji. Anyway his images persuaded me to get one. From my very brief outing with it, I can sort of understand why. It's a ni...

The Sigma 24/2.8 is a very nice lens and the flare is decent for artistic use. I started with the MF version which I sold when I got the AF one, but I miss the MF as it was much nicer to use and I think also smaller and lighter. Plus, the AF on this lens makes a right racket. I have the EF-mount ...

Not an acquisition but a ranting. Quick look online saw me find a well priced, immaculate ME Super for good money (£39+p&p) at a vendor who claims they’re all tested, with 6 month warranty, but had to hurry off from work. No matter, I’ll buy it as soon as I get home... Check as soon as I returned ba...

Ooh... my care package has arrived! Plenty of heft to this box. Will have to inspect and lay out everything in photos for y'all later. :D Have already had a quick look; everything looks pretty serviceable. One or two little niggles but for the price paid, I'm happy. Okay, so I got around to this s...

Everything I have seen on YouTube by photographers suggests that once you start with the Wacom tablet you never go back to a mouse. Well, It's been only an hour and I am ready to throw it in the bin! The two buttons on the pen, which can be set to right and left click as on a mouse, are way too sma...

I acquired a Wacom tablet about 5 years ago but have never got used to it. Occasionally I give it another try but within 10 minutes go back to using the mouse. I'm only hanging on to it because it was a gift.

My limited "experience" with the Waycom "Bamboo" tablet I asked for as a present 4-5 years ago prety much leads me to same conclusions as RobL and smudge - probably "helped" by the tablet being a small one and my hands being quite large and "clumsy"! It stays in the box for 99.9% of the time exce...

I have a Wacom bamboo too. It took a while to get used to it but for a couple of years I used it exclusively, but have gone back to a mouse now, as I just don't do enough editing to need it. It is a very old model and I am sure the newer ones are better. Give it a bit of time.

Just received a Pentax HD FA 35mm f2.0 from SRS (after parting with my FA version) - I have to say that the build (although basically the same lens) is improved with a better manual focus grip and more resistance when manually focusing. Many reports say the HD (and SP) coating is a bit improvement ...

Is the church in the background where that perfectly matched couple got married :?: :wink: Glad the repair worked out :lol: I doubt it! I'm glad it worked out too. The lens makes the SV a really nice camera to use. It snaps into focus surprisingly easily. K.

A Novoflex Castel-Q focusing rack from Speedgraphic Probably the best thing I ever bought. The ruler marked in mm's is very handy You can focus by noting where the camera beeps as you rack in (or rack out). It beeps at a different point moving in or out. Usually about 25-50mm difference. If AF is n...
