David’s advice is golden, particularly on getting the most from natural light. He has a lot of experience that we can both learn from. I agree that it’s important to run before you can walk. Once ...

Hi Horvat, I just found this thread and thought I'd just say that I like your work and can see that you're definately making good progress. Being able to visualise what you want even if you can't ...

I would say either do it for free or charge like a business, nothing in-between. If you do it for peanuts and something goes wrong they will treat you like a business. That's what happened to me ...

I’ve never lost work but occasionally (and often quite unnecessarily) hire a higher res camera for a shoot and bill the hire costs to the client of course. It also seems that whatever camera you ...

Pelican (or similar) cases are essential for me. Once you get to the point where you are traveling regularly with equipment and it may be handled by assistants, porters etc then there is no ...

And I've taken photos with a bigger smile than the Mona Lisa's. Life's just not fair when you're an under appreciated artist.

Every iPad Photoshop user: "give me the full manual controls I have on the desktop". Adobe: "How about auto adjustments? wait, come back, I've got a font browser!".

I was wondering why my photos weren't changing.

Medium format will likely never be comparable to FF because of size constraints. The lenses need to be bigger to let in enough light and as a result cost more to make, The bigger, heavier glass is...

I owned the Leica S (type 006), using it commercially. It was an exceptional camera which I miss. The handling and build quality were the best I have encountered but more importantly the way it...

What flexibility are you missing? I have used MF only for my commercial work for several years and the only thing I miss from 135 is having a fast zoom lens for the rare occasions when I need to ...

I had the S-E typ 006. As above, it is the best user experience of any camera I have tried. It handles beautifully. The image quality is beautiful and it has Leica ‘look’ and 3D pop in spades. I ...

Not saying this is real but it seems to say X2D 100C on the hotshoe. I’m not sure why they would put X2D all over a preproduction camera unless this is this is very late stage testing or a press ...

@Phillip Forsten Well it wouldn't go down well if they were openly censoring the media!

Twitter's statement was bound to get misenterpreted by photographers. If you read it properly they are not stopping you uploading photos of people. They are just allowing themselves to remove your...

I’m holding out for a 22mm f2.3 with ideally a 71mm filter thread. ;-)

Maybe it has a global shutter. They put one in the C700 four years ago so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility.

Very sad. I value his sacrifice. If the world stopped journalists reporting the realities of war for the sake of their safety, the politicians would be free to manipulate the story any way they...

I for one, would love to see the full range of cameras reviewed here. I am far more interested in the capabilities of high end medium format beasts than I am mobile phone cameras. In the same way...

I would say a 'Pro' camera is one that will take the hammering of heavy daily use. So, robust body, ergonomics, long shutter life or selection of ports for external devises. Its often not related...
