Omanyra 2,518 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Going off what I get off them, my books sink like lead baloons Busy doing a sexy book at the moment, hoping that might open some doors and pave the way to a new lens or two.

FUJI 16,750 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I love the Cairngorm's and Highlands will be up there for a few days sometime soon,I like hiking mountains etc and trailing through forests,around loch's etc..I like going spring and again in the autumn but even in autumn them little black midges eat you alive ? ..I got dumped with the Pom when my daughter left home but its my wee buddy now,she hunts great and likes having a chew on odds and sods,fit as a flea she is and will be 9 this September..and she goes where I go so when I'm off up the A9 she will be there too..is there just one pair of Osprey's where you go Bill or do you have a back up place where you can visit just in case lol? Have you ever seen the Golden Eagles up there Bill? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In actual fact, I got the 70-200 for a wedding. It is not a good lens, and I would never recommend it to anyone. Mine is far too soft and has focus issues, despite being back to Canon. It's going back again soon.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's going back again soon.... lets be honest, the quality of kit does make a difference as does the ability to use it and the knowledge of where to use it. i like the full fame 5d but it comes at a cost, with the loss of focal length compared for a crop sensor but it also has advantages, my f4 is similar with focal issues in as much as the autofocus is hit and miss at times and just not clean enough.

paulus 26 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 You guys seem to know your stuff. I seen a new camera on gadget show other night, can focus on different things even after the photo has been took, is this the future of camera's? the future of cameras will be with mobiles and drones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
