I haven't looked at infra-red since I was a young lad, in the 70's, possessing a second-hand Pentax ME, and using 35mm film... I had some reasonable results from my B&W darkroom, but left infra-red and my ME behind as I moved onto the 80's...
I now find myself revisiting the topic, but this...
Just booked Venice 3 days ago.... But as my wife and I are 'Bird watchers'... have a passion for fine French Wines (Clarets especially)... and EasyJet fly from Liverpool to Bordeaux... this is really tempting for the future...
Why we buy camera gear from 'reputable' High St Retailers... Could it be for range, guarantees, and reliability... or could it be to just get ripped off !!!
Jacobs Digital Photography & Video
Bought a £500+ lens from Jacobs Cameras 2 weeks ago..... wasn't happy with the quality, so my...
Nic...
You are quite right... it is a pertinent question... I want to concentrate a little more on Macro Photography (used to be a passion in my SLR days)... anyway... I wanted a larger sensor and a lens which would give me a 1:1 ratio to give me a fighting chance. However, I didn't want to go...
A few weeks ago, I was reading a link contained in a thread, about the image quality of lenses (as someone on Ebay was asking it a lens had marks on it).
The web article started by scratching a lens.... then taking images to show results... the article progressed to more abuse on the lens to...
Well.... I've gone and done it !!!
It's taken 6 months or so, of looking researching etc... but I eventually decided on the Nikon D7000.
Tried out the D700/800, but it was like holding a brick, let alone carrying it about... so decided on the more 'compact' APS-C sensor, D7000... The...
Off for a week in the English Lake District in the morning (so don't come burgling my house... lol) got my supply of 'serious cards'...
and taking the Nikon D90 & 18-200mm VR (which I've borrowed from work) to evaluate... in case I decide to get a D7000/D800...
However... taking my LX5...
I see what you're saying..... but there's is a vast difference in a self confessed 'SERIOUS' amateur photographer choosing not to shoot RAW and one who doesn't know what RAW is...
I was in a branch of Jessops yesterday just doing a bit of 'window' shopping.... there was a guy talking to one of the assistants...
He was telling the assistant... how he had a top Canon model (didn't catch the number), but he had a lens which cost him £2000 amongst others and had been doing...
An interesting thread.... I teach Plumbing in a Vocational College.... every craft in the construction industry have their own type of hammer...
It will be interesting to see everyone's.... all joiner/carpenter hammers so far... lol
As usual... A simple question has raised so many more questions and choices for me to look into... lol.
I've been busy reading all the suggested sites, which I must admit has 'opened' my eyes to a lot of different ways to look at my final choice, and the D800 as a long term investment is now...
I had a look at the D800, when I was comparing and went in search of the blogs, on it... some users weren't all that impressed
Like this one...
As a professional with over 40 years dedicated experience with Nikon gear I was, like many other photographers, keen to get my hands on one of these...
Just playing around this weekend with a Nikon D90 from work with an 18-200 VR zoom....
If I'm happy with it, I may invest in a D7000 or D700.... this being the case... I'm after a few wise words from our members....
Which will give the better quality...
16Mp sitting on an APS-C sensor...
I'm on the verge of getting the x100.....as well.... or the XP1..... choices choices.... one day Ive decided on one.... only to choose the other the next day... this battle has been going on for weeks...lol
I use it to phone landlines around the world (family mostly) from my laptop, and have it installed on my mobile phone... for ease of use, but cant seem to get used to video, so dont use that side of it a lot... however, I do video one of my cousins in Australia occasionally. My brother got me...
When I go in to Amazon... I see the MU tag in the address bar.... but when I start shopping... does it still stay registered, as I've bought a number of things recently small & large
As Leica.. partnered Fuji in the early years of digital photography.... and the XP1 is soooooo Leica'esque..... do you think Leica might take up where it left off.... and re-badge this model as a run-in to a new market...:rolleyes:
Especially with Panasonics announcement that its sticking with...

I have to agree with Steve... as another old codger !!! I listened to it on the bus going into my home city (my wife went shopping and I did a bit of street photography) I caught the other half on the bus back.... :smile:
Yeah I know.... been seeing them on ebay (uk) for around £600... and can buy new for £750+
But a new concept camera as good as this often has bugs in the first year... and this has proved to be the case.... may look at the black if issues have been resolved... but tempted to jump right into the...
