Lewis Gething Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 ∧ That Fuji X10 looks sick! Fixed lens right? What focal length equiv. and aperture is that thing rocking? I have just ordered the new lens. Went for the 17-40 in the end, as I will be shooting at f/8 or f/11 for the majority of the time, which negated the need for a fast prime, since I never shoot low light handheld or anything like that and am willing to sacrifice some optical quality for versatility. Also there aren't any primes with focal lengths of 16, 17 or 18mm within a suitable price range, and I would have ended up paying a lot more than the cost of the 17-40 for coverage of the same focal lengths. Thanks very much for the help though guys, you're input was/is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 This links to my Facebook so it's not the best quality, but I just took this using my Tokina 100mm. It's a heatsink: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Very small things? Really?? Nah, it's just that I have no imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Haha, well I always found it interesting to take photos of bugs with my macro setup. I should probably dust all that stuff off really, or sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Took this at the weekend: EDIT: was just trying to learn about shutter speeds etc again rather than finding a really nice pic Think it came out ok though Edited January 21, 2013 by Wrayvon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Really?? Nah, it's just that I have no imagination. Me too, hence the really unimaginative heatsink shot haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Me too, hence the really unimaginative heatsink shot haha I'm guessing it was lying on your desk as you took the lens out of the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm guessing it was lying on your desk as you took the lens out of the box? I'm not THAT bad. My PC packed up so I had loads of bits laying around, thought I'd play around with the macro lens... OK reading that back it doesn't sound any better :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Received the 17-40 L on wednesday, and the aftermarket hood today, so I thought I'd show you all I am incredibly pleased with the IQ, TACK sharp at f/5.6 at all focal lengths, peaking at 28mm where the detail is unbelievable. Not seen much CA, and vignetting and distortion aren't much of an issue on my APS-C body. Also running a Hoya Pro-1 UV on there for some protection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Thinking of picking up a cheap camera to get into some mild photography and wondered if I could get some advice??This came about with Joe Maher selling a cheap Nikon D100 body on ebay, I almost bought that to get me started but after reading a few reviews thought better of it. I don't want to spend a fortune to begin with, I'm thinking old, 2nd hand, £200 altogether tops as this is just purely to get my head around the basics and pick up some knowledge on the differences between various lenses and the like.Once I start to get to grips obviously I'll look toward picking up something a bit more substantial but for now I just want to try my hand.Is there anything anyone would suggest as a starting point to go off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 This is the same camera I have and it has served me well for four years, never missed a beat. The kit lens will do you just fine for learning the ropes. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290848125217 It may end up for a little bit more than £200 but its got everything you need to get started. You could probably pick up 400d or 350d but the 450d gets you a larger screen and a few more pixels to play around with. It's also a good base to start with as once you get to know what your doing some nice glass will still create some stunning results. If you want any more info feel free to drop me a pm.

Tony Harrison Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 A few days walking, camping and climbing in Ras al-Khaimah, UAE. Pretty rad place, shame I couldn't stay longer... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yeah when I was in the UAE I remembered that you used to live there. Dubai was 'interesting' but a bit unsettling. I didn't like it too much, but out in the hills it was dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Aston Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 where do you get your film developed? do you get the images on a disk or have you scanned them in yourself? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
