I came a across a strap by a company called pretty dead cow on Etsy and it looks very similar to the product by holdfast called the money maker, any one tried the alternative by pretty dead cow? It's about the 3rd of the price and uk based.

Yes when I added both to the basket they knocked £150 off the lens so got both for £538 which seemed like a great combo to start with not sure lens wise to go, the 18mmmost likely but time will tell

Just got my Fuji X-t10 with 35mm 1.4 from Fuji refurb (great deal when combined) really enjoying this camera immensely, out of curiosity what bags do people use, I plan on taking camera, lens, manfrotto pixie and maybe a small flash, and a iPad mini possibly. And I'm going to add a pic for...

I've literally just cut the gilded sky cord, and glad i did, was paying £56 for a fairly basic package, and i have now purchased a gen 4 apple tv and switched to now tv, and can't be happier, saving a load of money, still get all the content i need, and found weirdly I'm watching more...

Thanks can I ask what brand the one you have is?

Thanks for the replys I've had use of the manfrotto one I mentioned hence why I like it just funds are tight but if I have to wait for the right one fair enough, just wondering if the kingjoy is any good, the tripod in question is Kingjoy Versatile F2007R Professional 3 Section Aluminium...

Anyone used one, good the bad. Long and short of I want a manfrotto 055xprob but the kingjoy looks very similar, is there a genuine saving there or is it going to be a false economy?

Recently got the STM and was really impressed quite a step up from the mk2. the STM lenses generally (the ones I have experienced) have been really good, I'm guessing that canon can calibrate and set them up much more accurately.

I own the the 24-70mm f4 and use it on a 6d and love it easily my most used lens, it's sharp as I need it to be and the macro (although not a true macro) is more than capable. I chose it over the 24-105mm purely on the theory it's a newer lens and design. Honestly it's a great lens at the...

i have one of these great printers and very easy to use, can print straight from the camera as well

Or how about a grip and use the aa battery magazine in emergency? sure you can get those out there :)

This is interesting I'm heading up for this event and wasn't sure what hear to take, reading this il play it safe and not take any white lenses, again not sure how they police it, but not going to risk it ruining the event for me, take a basic setup and enjoy the show :)

I have a lowepro hatchback 22l looks like a normal bag and access to the camera pouch of on your back, I found it a good holiday bag of your sensible about how much gear to take :)

Personally I would look at either of the new pancake lenses (depending if it's crop of FF) for a little bit more they are quiet and well made, the older 35mm f2 is similar to the old 50mm you might loose a bit of aperture but with newer camera bodies it's not a massive issue to use a bit more...

having previously owned the 17-55mm 2.8 IS on a a 60d i can't recommend it enough its pretty much spot on for walking about, its sharp, F2.8 and had a good IS system to boot, if your happy sticking to crop long term def get one you won't be disappointed.
