My micro fiber lives in an old plastic film can. Just sayin'. My technique is Rocket blower, haw on the upside down lens, rub with mf cloth.

We have an old iPad which refuses to charge with any apple chargers, it only works with an AA battery charger that has a USB charging connector built in, 5 volts output, not sure of the current ...

My D70 is pretty sticky, what mild solvent did you use? It was my first DSLR, the 18-70 it came with is still working but the zoom ring is not as smooth as it was. Still, I've used it with the D70,...

"Thumb drive" ? A bit primate-centric, don't you think?

Its always a good idea to have your images backed up to more than one external drive, as I'm sure you know. Enjoy your new machine, the Mac for Dummies book might be useful as well as the Missing ...

Good advice above, especially for using camera flashguns/strobes. What kind if lights are you going to use?

It's called a spigot, many lights have a socket with a tightening screw that fits over the spigot. If not, a suitable female adaptor can be purchased for not many bucks. I hope I understand your ...

Ricardo00, your image with the teepee is stunning.

Are you familiar with strobist.com? A marvellous resource, props to David Hobby.

The u2415 has factory calibration, which I find reassuring, (some don't).

I like my Dell u2415, happy to have the extra height of 1920x1200.

I'm a recent convert to the wonders and otherwise of the Mac ecosystem, and still trying to get it to do my bidding. It's working pretty well really, (just don't get me started on the cloud ...

I'm trying out VOX, it seems ideal, many thanks.

Cool, I already have VLC for playing videos, and am checking it out for music as I type, I'll take a look at VOX too. Any further info still appreciated, many thanks.

I'm just looking for a simple music player that will play single songs or whole albums. I've never really got on with iTunes, (perhaps I'm too dim), it keeps jumping in uninvited when I'm using ...

I'm still testing my YN 568, it seems to work fine except needing plus 2.5 TTL flash exposure when in bounce mode. It's disappointing. I've mentioned this in a recent thread here.

Me, I shoot raw and use channel mixer in Photoshop. Then maybe a little warming with Photoshop photo filter.

I used to use an 18-70 and 55-200vr, now I just use the 18-140. I can easily crop to 200mm if needs be. Faster prime lenses are very useful too of course, and my sigma 10-20 is sometimes ...

Thanks Sailor, its in the region of 2.5 stops. It seems to change if I use flash exposure lock though. Oddly enough, the eBay shop I bought it from asked me to demonstrate the fault in a YouTube ...
