    Recomendations on Filters

    Isnt a fluorescent filter a hangover from the days of film, basic white balance correction? Only thing I can really think of past that is the fact that it'll flickr at 60hz, but that is just related to shutter speed? Just get a polariser and be done with it. UV filters are pointless unless...

    Do a search, this thread has come up numerous times in the last 3 months. Oh dear.

    10 - 22 is an epic epic epic lens in the right situation. If you cant get close to your subject you'll find that photos just look dull and everything just looks lost in the frame? Depends on your style of shooting as always tbh.

    You dont even need a test card. Just use some CF cards upright next to a ruler. Put 1 at 15cm or something and another at 18 and one at 12. Focus on the middle and look at the sharpest place on the ruler, thats the cheap and easy way to do things. As for f11 at 10mm, you've got pretty much...

    What headphones?

    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MA850G/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4ODc ? Depends what style she wants. Apparently big over the ear headphones are coming back into fashion, ive been rocking them since they went out of fashion so that shows you how little I know? Tbh going for earbuds is a sure winner...

    Anyone ever regretted a modification ?

    Mmm, solid bushings all round maybe? Makes it f**king brutal to drive daily.

    Lens

    Not so sure about that. Without IS I can maybe get a sharp image at 1/160th at the long end. Compared to 1/25th when I've got IS on. Sure people move around and its not a useful advantage all of the time, but without it shots like this at f4 simply wouldn't be possible... Now if it was...

    You caught me. I lied. I dont have the 70-200f4L ;)

    Is mine. Rather have the 135/2 and the 100/2.8L macro as they're both much better lenses for their focal lengths. Might be tempted by the 70-200/2.8II one day though as the focal length is fantastic on full frame. Still, IMO the 135/2 is the much better lens if you can get over the fact of it...

    Lens

    Regardless of what these lot say, the tamron 17 - 50 2.8 is a great lens for the price. I myself wouldnt buy it, but lots do and many rate it. Still, the 35/2 is what I'd get if 200 quids your budget. I'm sick of my zooms, they dont do anything well except be convenient.

    85 1.8 comes in for 20 quid more than your budget second hand and thats a fantastic lens.

    2000 E39 M5 with 2JZ Engine from a Supra - 893whp

    2000 E39 M5 with 2JZ Engine from a Supra - 893whp

    2JZ is great but they've removed one of the greatest engines in history to put it there? S62 is just better in every aspect imo.

    Im not sayings its shite ffs. Main thing pentax is missing imo is a decent radio trigger/wireless flash system. Regardless im out, im not here to gearfag and am certainly not here to compare DxO scores.

    Problem on my 500D

    Does the aperture flash on the viewfinder when you try to take the picture? I'm 99% sure its because theres not enough light available to take the picture at the shutter speed you're after. Get one of these from the garage - Point it at your water and try again. To freeze the water you...
