Agree completely. I don't do BIF, but, as I write, if I did they would - along with my grandchild - belong to the category of randomly fast moving subjects for which I would definitely use all the ...

Oh, I have no problem with that. But I see no need to liberate my cameras. I like to have straps on my cameras when I walk around with two cameras - one on each shoulder - or swap lenses when ...

There were more pics with missed focus when shooting fast moving subjects with manual focusing but I did it too. It was about previsualizing the shot ("seeing" it before it happened) and ...

No problem, as long as I - a strap user - know why. 😉

I have used both. Nylon seems to be more robust, canvas more comfortable. One thing to note with Domke bags is that the quite coarse weave is hard on the trousers which can develop holes at the ...

So true. My oldest strap in use is about 35 years old.

You beat me to it. It has been this way with all the manufacturers for decades. I remember that it took Leica almost a year to clear the backlog when they introduced the M6 back in the mid 1980s ...

@sirVir: Well, the camera in question is the much sought for "white face" variant which comes at a premium. And BTW, the price is an asking price - and the camera has been for sale since juli, so...

Agree, and I actually wish for more of that. There were more diversity in camera design in the film days. We had SLRs, TLRs and rangefinders - all in varying formats. And then there was the big ...

I just checked the Danish version of Craigslist. There's one of these up for sale with an asking price of ~ $4000 (DKr. 25000). IMHO the 2.8 Rolleiflex is the most beautiful camera ever made. It...

I don't know if Sony is worse than others. We had a Saeco espresso machine which broke down just before the warranty expired and had it repaired by Saeco, though we had to pay shipping ourselves ...

Billingham Hadley (the Hadley Small would be too small for your 70-180). Or Domke F6. The Domke likely fits your gear best, but the Hadley is better made, is padded and waterproofed.

Don't use super glue. And avoid like the plaque super glue on surfaces that have screws in them. The glue will make it very, very difficult to take apart the camera if that should be needed along ...

When you say cleaning contacts, did you include the contacts at the bottum of thr the card slots? Recently another member had this problem and the cause was a minute piece of plastic broken off a ...

This bag / backpack is a commendable attempt to unite the virtures of both the accesability of the gear in shoulder bags like Domke, Billingham and a lot others without needing to put the bag ...

This is a 4 years old thread and everything was explained to the OP both forwards and backwards without the OP understanding it (or trolling?). I think Jim Kasson summed up the OPs problem very ...

I'd start with a 35mm. It's a good beginning of a compact but versatile combo. With 20mm you get distorted faces close to the edge of the frame. Not all family members are amused to see themselves ...

It's not clear to me if you ask about camera straps or bags/backpacks or both, so I'll answer both. I much prefer a simple old fashioned neckstrap without buckles ets. I have for many years used ...

The lenses I love most are still my 40 years old adapted Leica M lenses because they are so small and light and render so nicely. I added a Tamron 28-75/2.8 and a 70-180/2.8 when my grandchild ...

There are many good vintage macros out there in that range. Some years ago I managed to pick up a Lester A. Dine 90/2.8 macro. It's a fun lens which goes to 1:1 - a dentist rebranding of one of ...
