da1lyoperations Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Go for the SR44's. I use 2 EPX76's which are current alkaline replacements, they fuck up the metering a bit though but most stores here can't get the SR44's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Harris Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 i got the SR44s... two in a packet, but they're too small and they rattle aboot in the casing... i've had the day off work today due to a family bereavement and managed to phone the company i bought the MRB675 from... they've told me i should have went with the MRB625, the only difference being is that there's a spacer to stop the battery from moving aboot... the boy says he'll try to send me a spacer for the battery... if not i'll just have to fork oot the extra £6 for another one...

Deine Mudder Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 That GE looks well shit. Did not know they're also building cameras. That one looks almost identically to a Fuji Finepix S5700 I still have lying around here, funny. Well the most important thing beeing that you can actually take some good pictures with it.

Doodle Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I'm going on a long trip this summer and wanted to buy a lens that can cover most situations so that i don't have to carry around 5 lenses. I was looking into the nikon 18-105 or the 18-135. I will also bring my 35mm 1.8 prime. the 18-105 is about 400$ new (250 used) and the 18-135 i found a used one for 250 as well. anyone ever shot with these lenses? or have any other suggestions of a lens i can combine with my 35mm?

publicenemyno.3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have a 28-200 Sigma that I shoot on my Pentax. I'm not too big of a fan of it as it is not as sharp as I would like. I can't speak for the Nikon, but most of the zooms that I've used that cover a wide range are not awesomely sharp or great in low light unless you want to spend a ton. Pretty sure Nikon makes an 85mm 1.8 that should be more along the lines of a 130mm if you're shooting on APS-C. While I'm at it, if there are any Pentax shooters on here that have used a k-01, shoot me a PM and let me know how you like it. I like my K20 but the k-01 is hella cheap now and come bundled with a lens that I've been wanting to buy anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Costanza Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 i have had a nikon d3000 for a while but honestly didnt like it that much. i hate digital for anything outside of flicking graff and taking pictures of things that dont have artistic photographic value. it was really just kind of a pain to lug around. so i was pretty hyped when i was able to cop this: from a garage sale for $10 with an SD card. besides those I frequently carry a Stylus Epic or a Ricoh tls401. I fucking love film. Gimme some Portra or even some drug store off brand any day over some megapixels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 these seem to be a pretty good camera except when you're trying to focus quickly in bright scenarios i.e. photographing panels on a train flying past you at a train station. for what I mostly use it for it's probably too advanced a camera but it does take nice shots of people and things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicenemyno.3 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 http://www.dpreview.com/previews/sigma-18-35-1-8 any one heard about this? as someone with a want for a full frame but unwilling to switch systems (pentax shooter) this seems like a pretty ill lens.

bigdoughnut69 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Next week Im going to get a Canon 60d off ebay, brand new, with 4 lenses, 2 sd cards, 3 filters(whatever), 2 batteries, and a tripod for $1089. Seems like a good deal to me. Thoughts?

publicenemyno.3 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 a few of the guys i know that shot pentax went to canon, mainly because of their full frame bodies. i had an ae-1 that the mirror locked up on. that's really my only experience with them. doesn't sound limke a bad package depending on the lenses that come with it.

Doodle Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Anyone own a gopro? or any camera of that type? I'm going on a trip to Ecuador where i will be doing some snorkeling, lots of mountain biking, surfing etc. and I also snowboard every year and mountain bike etc so i can always use it. thought this would be awesome to capture with a gopro. I've seen a lot of videos on youtube and they look pretty great and you can do a lot of different things with it. Any tips for accessories to buy? any reviews? I have looked up reviews on google but i always like to hear from people on here. Doooood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wafflecakee Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Go pro quality doesn't disappoint. Just make sure you memorize the menus so you can change them on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da1lyoperations Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 A few friends have the GoPro, always looks good. I've sold hundreds of them and nobody ever complains. Make sure you get a fast enough card if you go Hero 3 Black. 30mb/s isn't fast enough. A lot of people have had issues with the camera locking up. That's about it, card related though. They are listed as runout though so keep an eye out for a Hero 4/new version soon. No idea what they're doing yet though. Just ordered a Canon F-1 from KEH. Picked up a 35mm f/2 off eBay from Japan. I wanted something smaller than the 1N since I'll be spending November in the States and want to walk around with it all day. I should have gone back to a Nikon FM2 or something lighter, but I've never tried the Canon 35mm mechanical cameras so it should be a bit of fun. If anyone is interested I've got still got my Bronica SQ-AI kit up for sale. And a Leica M4 + 50mm Summicron. Need to move them in the next couple of weeks.

Doodle Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks for the feed back guys, must spread rep. I got the hero black 3, pretty much got all the functions and stuff down and i'm really impressed by the quality! Can't wait to see what it can do!! I'll be back in 3 weeks and then i'll post some stuff up! I've never really done any videos so I have a lot to learn especially in the editing department....i'm excited!

Deine Mudder Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just ordered a Canon F-1 (...) I should have gone back to a Nikon FM2 or something lighter, but I've never tried the Canon 35mm mechanical cameras (...) I used "Canon 35mm mechanical" for quite a while now; AE-1 mostly, never had an F1 though. They're 820g without lens, not that great to carry all day, but hey, you're used to heavy cameras. Definately try to get the FDn 50mm f1.4 for the Canon. My Canon just died, and somebody gave me a Nikon "FG". It's one of their smallest, lightest, and cheapest SLR's. Does all it is supposed to. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 My dad just came home from visiting his sister and he brought back this!

John Smith Doe Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Bought a small Olympus Stylus Epic last week and I'm just starting to take photos. Never done photography before, I just like looking back on photos and will be doing it as a hobby documenting my memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deine Mudder Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 They're cool. Remember to turn off the flash though everytime you don't want it to fire. Thing resets everytime you close and open it up again unfortunately. Press both buttons on the back simultaneously to enter spot metering mode. Have fun!
