Sad Joe

Sorry - but Ive shot 100's of weddings with a range of cameras - a couple of Nikon D70's served me well for several years, I recently sold them off - they had paid for themselves a long time ago....

Best advice - DON"T TURN PRO - I was a pro wedding photographer for over 10 years but moved to vintage vehicle hire a few years ago.

Recently we gained a complaint (our 1st) from a wedding we had...

Good question - increasingly no one needs to go FF unless they are very veery demanding, make HUGE prints or what to get the most from their wide lenses (i.e. a 24mm remains a 24mm) I want to go FF...

Well, maybe I am hogging someone else's lenses as I have 2 x Canon DSLR but 8 x AF lenses (and counting) plus 6 x FD lenses and even older M42 lenses via a range of adapters. Next on my buy list is...

Much as I dislike the Nikon 1 range this one caught me as an interesting surprise - well done Nikon ! But its FAR too expensive at its RRP - perhaps a 50 % discount is coming as with all of the...

Cool stuff !

'Inconsistent autofocus in difficult conditions even after microadjustment' - for me this is the KILLER - sorry Sigma I won't be buying one....

This is what would worry me - Sigma (sadly) have a history of such....my one and only Sigma lens packed up on me - something in in over 35 years of using an SLR had never happen too me..Today I...

And so say all of us ! Except people who don't like 3rd party lenses or those who recall that Sigma have often had problems with AF in the past. No, I'm not blasting Sigma - this looks to me to be...

Well well, back in the early 1980's when I used to work in the camera trade (Tecno cameras) Paul Bird & I discussed the possibility of camera shutters being produced from LCD panels - so they could...

Looks most interesting for us folks wedded to APS-C. Good one Sigma for showing the big boys what is possible without either going FF or a sub format. I just hope that you keep the quality standard...

This strikes me very much as an STM version of the current very cheap and very good 55-250 lens - the improved STM lead AF is much welcomed - but the HUGE price jump isn't. I'll be sticking to what...

Sorry - missed off two additional features from MY 7D MK2 spec: Headphone socket and dual card slots.. now my work is complete and I can go back to taking images.....lovely sunny day across the UK...

The new 70D seems to ME to be MY almost perfect camera (if there is such a thing) IF IF IF the video AF works. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me but on balance it offers most things...

I think this might well be my very next lens. I owned the Pentax SMC-M 40mm F2.8 back in the day - loved its compact size but I didn't really use it much. On my ASP-C sensor this new Canon 40mm...

Smooth looking car - and a nice pic too

Purchased this lens at a good discount from a branch of Comet a couple of years ago believing that I might make use of it on my APS-C cameras. Years ago I had a Nikkor 55mm MF lens on my Nikon FE/...

This lens is my most recent telephone zoom purchase for use on my APS-C cameras. I've used a vast range of such lenses include Vivitar, Kiron, Tamron, Nikon as well as Canon, some AF. some not. I...

Came as my kit lens with a Canon 40D back in 2009. A vast improvement on the kit 18-55 that came with my 20D a year or so earlier. Much faster ultrasonic auto focus with more sure focus lock,...
