Thx Kris!

Is Outdoor Photography (US) the same as Outdoor Photographer?

I'll try to get hold of a copy of each and compare... but they still sound a leeee-tle too gear-oriented for my taste (there probably isn't any such magazine without gear-related articles anyway). I don't know why but I'm a little bit put off when I see the latest DSLRs or £5000 teles on the front cover.

I've been trying to find a monthly in France - there are only two as far as I understand - but I read on a french forum that the choice was much larger in the UK.

Hi,

I'm looking for an english language magazine (UK or US) dedicated to nature photography - flora, fauna and landscapes.

What I'm interested in:
. lots of beautiful pictures to marvel at
. tips and techniques for different subjects and situations

What I'm less, or altogether not, interested in:
. gear reviews
. too much science
. information about local natural areas (being in Paris, I wouldn't be able to enjoy them )

It could also just be a magazine about nature, with a large high-quality photographic content.

A quick search on the net has yielded these two: Outdoor Photographer (US), and Outdoor Photography (UK). Anyone know them, or has better suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Nick

The AF on these tubes is a film designation that allowed it to maintain AF confirm on film cameras (well, I believe thats what it is!), there is no pass through for the AF screw drive, however there are pass throughs for all of the electrical contacts and aperture, so the camera can still see what lens you have attached etc.

Hope that helps!
Thanks, very helpful, didn't know they worked like that.
Good luck with your sale.

Just a question out of curiosity: on the 31mm extension tube it says "for PK/AF", but on the 13mm one, "manual focus".
Does it mean that you can maintain auto-focus when you mount the former, but not the latter?
Or do you lose AF with either? If not, what combination of tubes still maintains AF?

Thanks

Hi,

Is the M42 adapter Pentax OEM, or a generic one?
If the former, I'll take it posted to London (or Paris if it's not too expensive).
Thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for a graduated grey filter to use on my Cokin P holder.
Preferably dark grey (ND4), but light is ok too.
I'm looking for something comparable in quality to Kood (or better).
Pricewise, it should beat £8.90 delivered to London (which is what I'd pay for this).
I'm also looking for a cheap 72mm adapter ring, and maybe a wide-angle specific Cokin P-type filter holder (like BPW-700).
Regarding the latter, I wonder if I could just cut down to size a chinese Cokin holder knock-off by leaving only one slot, anyone know if that would be an adequate substitute?

Cheers,
Nick

I have the 16-45 and the sigma 17-70 (yet to decide which one to let go), and funnily enough I think the field of view is wider at 17mm on the Sigma than at 16mm on the Pentax (I'll have to check again). I wonder if anyone who had both could confirm that.
