The LE night shots are stunning!

Here's another +1 for the MX - Had to sell a few of my 35mm cameras earlier this year - Couldn't part with the MX though...

The MG is quite an interesting one though... Very good with the M40mm as a 'street-rig'

If I ever get the chance to go to Hong Kong I'll be making sure I have a 'shopping budget' that's for sure...

Been ages since I came on here and unfortunately it's for a winge!!


I recently tried to make a little video of my stepson making a beat in our mini recording studio (henceforth to be known as 'The Lab')...

The video looked really great but the sound quality was truly horrendous!

I ended up using my iPhone (so the video was shaky as hell) and the sound quality was infinitely improved...

Is the sound quality of the on-board mic really that bad or do I have a 'duf' one that requires repair?



I'm hoping to be able to record more video from 'The Lab' in the near future and would like it to be shot from the K5... I bought a hotshoe mounted mic a while back but it was a cheapo from Maplins and broke in my camera bag within a couple of months...
Any recommendations on how to get better sound in my videos? (I had thought about routing soundcard direct to mic-in on K5 - anyone done this?)


Cheers guys (and hope you're all well!!)

Just focus on the fact I have a beer and Bombay Mix...

Well... I have a bottle of YardBird (Greene King) a bowl of Bombay Mix and have just done a little Hip-Hop remix of Keith Droste's 'When You Come Along'

95 BPM with a real heavy sounding kickdrum!!

Not sure the neighbours are into Boom-Bap so I've just turned it down a bit...

DA35 2.4 would get my vote as a step up from the 18-55 kit but if its reach you're after then by all accounts the DA55-300 is a stunner...

I don't tend to shoot long so my DA50-200 does me just fine when I really need the reach...

Just got back from an interview (of sorts) for a job that doesn't exist (voluntary work)...
Should be right up my street... If it were paid it'd by welcome in my house!!!

Welcome to the forum George!

It's going unpublished (or at least un-tagged) for the sake of my career... Good weekend though with beer and surfing
