  1. I'm sure you've already looked, but have you accidently turned the focus dial (front bottom left) from A to M?
  2. I would have thought it needs to be set to something - even just Standard?
  3. Interesting, but as above I now only offer 3:2 ration enlargements - and my most popular with schools in 9x6. The only issue I see is many of the cheap "home-store" shops have vast amounts of their own 10x8 frames to get rid of! You could offer an 8x12
  4. I have the X1T-F and although an excellent and reliable trigger, my frustration is when the camera is low down on a tripod, its difficult to see the settings without either a) taking it off the camera or tilting the camera downwards. I'll be buying the new X-ProF very shortly.
  5. I've recently bought into the Godox system and it does seem quite sturdy. For the price, I'm very pleased
  6. I still love my 35mm F1.4, so I'd recommend the 35mm
  7. I took a 55-200 to Zimbabwe earlier this year and had some great results, however since being back in the UK where the wildlife is smaller I've switched to the 100-400. Both are great lenses, but the 100-400 is just fantasic
  8. This arrived at the end of last week. Just a few samples from my garden or local park.
  9. Here's one from a few weeks back whilst in Zimbabwe...
  10. 12mm and Lee Big stopper 4.3 sec exposure
  11. the lee Big stopper has a foam surround that prevents light entering - and you use the filter in the 1st slot. Is your friend using it correctly?
  12. I cant see a reason (for me) to buy the F2.0. My F1.4 is just brilliant. I use it on my X-10 which is not WR, and in 35 years of photography, I cant remember ever needing WR on any camera!
  13. So, having just taken 30 pictures with the drive switch to Adv as the drive switched had been moved whilst putting the camera away in the bag, I too would love a lockable drive switch. BTW what does the "lock" mode on the menu do exactly. I selected drive and locked it but it doesn't make any difference.
  14. I'm not having too much trouble in the dark... A few from last Saturdays wedding
  15. There are numerous comparisons online, and, obviously, the Zeiss is superior. For me, though, the price for very similar results was a no brainer!
  16. Some great pics there. love them
  17. Audiopink, the link doesn't seem to work!
  18. Just back from a family holiday... A couple with the 12mm.
  19. Already said, but: 1. Battery life shown as % and extended 2. Able to set shutter speed beyond 30s (i.e. up to 120s) Easily pleased!
  20. So, having posted back in June the 1st engagement shoot with the X-T1, I shot the wedding yesterday. I have to say I had more keepers than ever before with the canons, and I was surprised to find that I used the 35mm f1.4 for around 75% of the shots. I used the "kit" lens for the groups and the rest with the 56mm f1.2. I'm really pleased with the results...
  21. I keep the Auto on, limited to 1600 max, unless I'm shooting landscapes, then its set to 200
  22. I'm off to Tenerife (Islands belonging to Spain!) in 3 weeks with the family. I've settled on the 18-55 for day to day general pics, and the 12mm for evening, night time shots. I'll also have the Lee big stopper for the fluffy water shots !!!
