Anyone interested in a Sony A7ii? A year old, bought new. Shutter count 6029

How much we talking... & w/ a lens?

Without a lens around 900. I also have the 55 1.8 lens and a voigtlander ultron 21. 1.8. sent me a PM if interested

Other half has just bought a DSLR (700D), is there a decent book/guide I could her so she can get the most out of it?

I found this very good http://www.amazon.co.uk/Understanding-Exposure-3rd-Photographs-Camera/dp/0817439390/ if you're looking for a gouide to taking pictures and what the different settings do. It's not specific to the best way to use that DSLR though.

nice...

Like the Brighton shots !

Took this while walking the dog.. It looked better in my mind when i decided to take it.. thought i'd share anw

Both excellent, 2nd one shades it. Would love a full size copy of that.

There is actually a Dummies Guide to that camera I think. Don't buy it though. Read the manual and visit to The Photographers Gallery instead.

Very Masahisa Fukase. Like a lot.

I'd meet / invite someone over for dinner that knows his shit and is able to explain the fundamentals of SLR photography.
Beyond that read the manual to get a grip on that specific camera's ways / were to set certain things, but again - I'd always prefer to meet with someone rather than read books.

If you/ they are new to photography, get a cheap manual lens. Forces you to learn what does what and what affects other bits. Aperture, ISO, exposure times, etc. No relying on auto or the approximation there of.

youtube is your friend there!

Youtube is your dumb friend that won't "shut up". Fixeh forums are where the magic happens.

New toy arrived last night! Whoop!

OOH, nice. What's the B&O device in the background?

I'm considering one too - the only real hesitation is the real world handling. I've only ever used one instore and I found the smooth round body a little awkward to comfortably grip. RX users out there - how does it work in real life?

I've got fairly big hands and don't have an issue with my rx100 ii

Good to hear. Might go and have another look at lunch.
