Well there are all sorts of rumours to why the MBP retina was not upgraded.Here's my quick summary for those interested, in no particular order: 1. Production jam whilst they are getting out the...

oh well the wait is over, nice to have updated Air and will be interesting to see reviews on photo editing capabilities with Haswell, but no update of the MBP yet.  I am guessing the new MBP retina...

Keeping my fingers crossed for an update of the MBP Retina 15inch with the new Haswell processor - can't complain if get a few extra hours of battery life and a lighter /slimmer laptop.  I have the...

looking at some websites, the pricing seems to slot between the 600mm f4 and 400mm f2.8. So its price does seem reasonable in my opinion. The target audience will be fee paying sports or wildlife...

thanks Victor, will give that a go as well.

hi folks,  thanks for your ideas.  I tried to find the Loctite in HK, but no luck. May have to order online.  I also gave the garden hose clamp a go with gaffe tape to stop scratches and to even...

Thanks everyone for your replies, seems like the use of Loctite is a possible solution.  I usually dismantle my ballhead from the tripod when fitting into a lowepro AW450 case, so a bit awkward...

Hi folks,   Am a working photographer, used to moving constantly on architectural shoots around retail developments with a tripod slung across shoulder and my D800E still mounted on it.  Using a...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice. I went ahead and bought the photo mechanic today.  Only played around with it for an hour or so. Things I immediately like are being able to upload...

Sorry folks stupid me, think I have found the solution on Scott Kelby site, he uses 2 card readers to download at the same time, then photo mechanic.  If anyone has a better workflow, great to...

Wondering if any working photographers out there can advise what programmes / workflow they use from taking out the memory card from their camera(s) to getting out the shots to the client for say...

Am also doing corporate shoots Often companies require small.JPEG 1MB for press release then later full size.JPEG.current can shoot small JPEG+raw which means time needed to download and convert...

Am a working photographer. Use d4 d3s and d800e. I wrote today to this forum as also finding with clients they need small.JPEG first for press release then large on disk. Have option of two sizes...

Hi , someone else asked a similar question and my reply is as follows, hope it helps. Am a full time event/concert photographer.  I don't have experience with your system you are looking at,...

I have the FS Pro ultra wide strap, which I now use instead of my Black Rapid.  I don't have the narrow strap.  Am a full time photographer usually carrying two pro bodies for 4-6 hours. Attached...

Hi folks, if you have a D800E, just trying to find out (out of curiosity) whether your D800E still occasionally locks up and the only way to fix it is to take out the battery.  Mine still does!Am...

Hi I wanted a bag for sports photography work that could hold a pro body + long lens, also importantly was comfortable and narrowish form factor.  I bought the limo to hold my D4 with 200-400 f4...

I also have encountered the same problem of the buckle coming undone when doing event shoots, especially when I kneel down. I went to Lowepro and they said they would replace the buckle.  I didn't...
