    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    Three new UV filters for lenses which should have had them months and months ago. I've had to clean the lenses multiple times and caused a bit of scraping damage to the front ring on one lens which would have been completely avoided, had there been UV filters to protect them.

    Personal gear review

    I've never purged my gear, although I've given older cameras to family. But almost all of the gear I've bought in the last ten years is still mine. Selling anything would mean not having gear I can still use, and I'd only get a paltry amount for giving it up. I still have my Fuji F30 from 2007...

    GAS GAS: Please Share your Latest Acquisitions Big and Small

    End of financial year sales have yielded a lot of bargains. In the last month, I've bought: Panasonic LX10 1" sensor compact - turning out to be a decent upgrade from the LX7, although I miss the extra wide 16:9 images of the LX7. Panasonic GX85 - super on special because it has been...

    Bags Recommendation for a single camera bag for carrying both a Ricoh GR and a Sigma DP3

    Every now and again I get a yen to buy another bag. At the moment it's an even race between the Crumpler Dry Red No 2 Boarding Bag, the Tumi Alpha 2 Cross Body bag, or having another crack at Billingham with the Stowaway Pola. The latter is unlike most Billinghams in that it has a number of...

    Bags Recommendation for a single camera bag for carrying both a Ricoh GR and a Sigma DP3

    You're welcome! Yes, the bottom is unpadded, but a layer of foam takes care of that. Have fun with the bag, I hope it brings you equal utility and joy.

    Bags Recommendation for a single camera bag for carrying both a Ricoh GR and a Sigma DP3

    Lowepro Streamline 150 or 250. I have the 250 and it's fantastic. The front zipper compartment has two padded sections that will hold two compacts, or a compact and a couple of small m43 or Leica M lenses, or anything of that size. The main compartment is quite nicely padded from the front...

    Bags Bag Advice

    I've been eyeing the Ari Marcopolous bag for quite some time, but I wonder if the non-adjustable dividers would bug me. Otherwise it looks like a great bag. The alternative is the Incase DSLR Pro sling pack, which has many of the same features but you can adjust the dividers, I think...

    GAS GAS Explosion vs. Reality

    I do have to say that every camera I have bought has inspired me to go out and shoot more. If I look at the reams of photos I took with my first digital camera, not much stands out, apart from the fact that I was taking them all the time! I got some nice photos now and again, but that was more...

    GAS GAS Explosion vs. Reality

    For several years, digital photographers have been saying what a great time this is to be alive. New cameras are coming out all the time, promising more of this and bigger that. It's easy to be caught up in the excitement of new announcements: current cases in point being the Fuji X20, X100s...

    Protection "How do you protect your hardware?"

    Two of my compacts have silicone skins: the Casio EX-Z750 and the Fuji F30. The Casio's skin is decent, but the Fuji's is excellent. Both are third party cases, and were bought from eBay sellers. Both came with screen protectors as well, which was great. The Fuji's screen protector was a...
