Just like Dweeble, the fabric ran through the buckle. Unlike him, I didn't catch mine. It was an A7riii with the 35 2.8, so it wasn't heavy. I was just unlucky. I've had loads of cameras through ...

I actually did have one fail on me, so it does happen.

I disagree. With a lens you produce real images. Whether it's digital or film, the medium captures light rays as they pass through the lens. It's called a real image, as opposed to a virtual image,...

I was under the impression that any camera with phase detect autofocus is already a rangefinder, therefore the nomenclature would make sense.

I disagree, they're two totally different things. No one will claim that the Rollei 35 feels good in the hand, yet it's a joy to use.

I, too, agree with removing that pointless time limit.

That's correct, it's the grip. Furthermore, the Rollei 35 has a left handed advance lever, you focus it by guesswork and if you want to use a flash, you hold it upsidedown. Regardless, compare a ...

Old film cameras, like the Nikon F2, FM2n, Rollei 35, Fuji GW690, etc. are all cameras that are ergonomically compromised, yet inspirational. On the other hand, modern DSLRs feel very good in the ...

I'd say the A7riv would be better for street. The autofocus is already good enough and the camera won't be taxed. The A9ii would be a hell of a lot better when you need demanding autofocus like ...

First of all, I already have a job. Photography for me is just an amateur pursuit. As for pictures, I never said they weren't great, what I said was an amateur can churn out the same results as 95% ...

When it's physically tested, it's no longer an opinion piece. You can see on the video how he does the test and it is explained. At the end of the day, men lie, women lie, children lie, numbers ...

Those are memories you can tell your grandkids!

Well, I watch a lot of boxing and I read a lot of boxing, too. I used to buy a bunch of boxing magazines. Let me tell you...they very rarely get the key defining moment of a fight. In fact, ...

So you think sports photography is every bit as hard as wedding photography then?

I'm judging it by the quality of the pictures I see in newspapers. Sports photography, in particular....give any half decent amateur the top of the line equipment and they'll be able to churn out ...

I dunno man...I get what you're saying, I just don't think it's that hard. Don't get me wrong, there are levels to this game and at the top, those Magnum photographers are something else, but I ...

I'm not sure professional photojournalists take pictures any better than advanced amateurs, to be honest.

Thanks for the reply. I've always liked the idea of rocking up somewhere to take decent photos, but there seems to literally be no legitimate way to do this. Ho hum.

Hi folks, Theoretical question here. Suppose I wanted to go to a sporting event / concert and I wanted to take photographs for nothing more than my own personal collection. Could I pay to get a ...
