equipment

I have a couple old digital cameras and while I could probably sell them I think giving them to a charity is the better option. I would much rather give to a charity that deals with cameras and photography rather than just a local hospice, nothing against them, but it seems better that the...

Recently discovered fungus inside my lenses. I don’t even know where to begin. Can anyone recommend how to treat it? Where to take it to get fixed? Prices? Thank you in advance

Hey guys! So I'm finally taking the plunge after 2/3 years of using my D500 and the 70-200mm f2.8 lens and pushing my Rugby photography to the next level and getting myself a 2nd camera and the big boy 400mm Lens... So I don't know why I'm throwing myself here waiting for someone to tell me...

Hey all! Just a quick one, I'm looking at renting some lenses and maybe a 2nd work horse body for certain shoots (Mainly sports so bigger lenses 400mm etc.) What website do you use or know about that would be good for this? Decent prices etc. CHEERS!

I have an odd case scenario where I’m butting up a monocular (previously a binocular) to an old Polaroid so I can get some additional magnification. I don’t know very much about equipment and I need some advice: What would be the best way to mount this set up on a single tripod? Or if a bunch...

I shoot with two cameras for weddings. I'm looking for a leather harness, but cannot stretch to the money Holdfast want for the Moneymaker. Any suggestions of alternatives?

So I'm currently using my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy s9+) and an old bridge camera, specifically a Polaroid is2132. The Polaroid is fine and all, but I've had it for about 8 years and am in the mood to treat myself a little bit and replace it but I'm unsure on what to buy as the replacement. For...

Hello, first, thank you for taking the time to help me. I'm an industrial design student looking to buy my first camera, up to this point I've been using almost exclusively my iPhone 8 Plus to take photos, except from a few times I've used my girlfriend's Nikon D5300 and a friend's Sony A6000...

Advice Needed I am looking to upgrade my camera. I am pretty set on a mirrorless. However from there I am overwhelmed by the options available to me. Hence you guys come in... I like the Olympus em10 Mark 3 and that is the top of my price range at this point in time. I have a few criteria that...

An old and worn woodworkers plane discovered gathering cobwebs in an old shed

I am thinking of buying a new used second body (probably a 60D) to replace my ageing 400D alongside my main body which is a 70D. I was wondering how everyone organises and carries their kit whilst at the track? Since graduating to the Tamron 150 to 600, my old strategy of having a double...

Evening all, i'm just wondering if anybody on here knows any good locations for car shoots preferably in the north west for day and night shoots and also what set ups people use? i.e ISO, shutter speed and F-stop plus lenses thanks in advance

Hello After 5 years of not picking up a camera and a recent change of job I'm looking to reignite my old hobby – excitement doesn't come close! :) As its been so long and I'll undoubtedly be rusty I'm not sure the cost of a high-end enthusiast, pro camera would be warranted at this stage. I...

First post on the forum (other than welcome thread) and why not start in the beginners forum as that's what I am. As mentioned in my welcome post I'm looking at getting into landscape photography as I live in close proximity to the Lake and Peak Districts, primarily inspired by watching Thomas...

Having trouble with my Canon 7d shutter spead doesn't matter what I set it to it stays open

Good afternoon, I have two 'vintage' (judging by the boxes, probably 20 years of age) Tamron Macro lenses. As I have always wanted a macro lens but don't have the budget (worked with a close up filter so far but have considerable chromatic issues with it) I was hoping that I might get these...

Hi All, I would like to get some little ones printed with my company name and phone number on, so that if my kit is lost or stolen, there is also a reference to me to contact, as well as being handy to have on leads etc.. when on jobs, rather than other methods such as engraving etc... Ideally...

Good Afternoon all, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a place to buy quality backdrops? Everywhere I've checked so far has had frequent complaints of 'creases' or being 'too small'. I'm new to studio photography, but don't want to waste my money on poor quality...
