What camera do I buy? / general gear talk

Yeah, if you’ve the x100 the 1.4 makes more sense. For a photojournalist two-camera setup, having an x100 plus an xpro2 with a short tele and an ultra wide would work quite well I think. But I don’t think that’s the use case of most people on here...

I'd be interested in the 23mm f2 depending on price. Been scouting around for a while as 35mm was my most used focal length on my Nikon (it's the only lens I have for my Nikon)

Mine is in perfect condition, with the box, bag, manuals etc.

They're £329 in LCE in the same condition, so lets say £250?

Just pulled trigger on a new 6D mk1 from HK. Don't see the point in the 6d2 for twice the price. 6d1 is comparible to 5d3, which are still going for mad money even 5 years old and pretty hammered. Strongly remembering every single dslr thats gone wrong on me (only one reached its shutter life expectancy), a new grey import one for exactly the same price of an upto 4 year old used 50k + ??? hours of video example is a no brainer to me.

They're £329 in LCE in the same condition, so lets say £250?

Superbargain! I paid 370€ for mine which is also in perfect condish.

I bought mine new for what I think was around the £440 mark, have the box and receipt etc.

Anyone have a canon 70-200 /4 or 80-200 /2.8 for sale?

Scratch that, bought an old 80-200/2.8 and a 40/2.8 plus already have an old 16-35
Should make a good travel setup for India nect month. Might pick up a tele/mulipler for the tele, Canon ones don't work though, need a kenco one I think should work. Prefer a 2x

I have a RX100 m4 and used mine with glasses a bunch of times its totally fine.

Can anyone recommend a good camera bag? Needs to tick the following boxes

• room for Canon 6D with battery grip, lens mounted
  
• room for another 2 prime lenses
  
• room for charger, cables, etc
  
• black without any gash decals
  
  

Looks like Crumpler Proper Roady 7500 could be a good fit? Or too small?

I am heading out to Nepal for a few weeks trekking and want to get a compact camera to take photos of the mountain landscapes, at the moment the panasonic LX 100 is winning, is there anything else I should consider?

Still very much enjoying my Peak Design Everyday Messenger. Though looking at the price I'm glad I won it and didn't have to pay for it. It's very nice though. Lots of solid, practical features I haven't seen elsewhere.

That's lovely but a bit overkill. Also not black. And £££!

I wish ortlieb kept doing camera bags...

used billingham ?

Tbh this isn't far off what I'm after, and it's £14.99

I've got an older lowepro rucksack you could have for cheap?

For more £££ / overkill, see also Think Tank (all our big rolling cases for light stands/studio gear are TT and they're utterly great).

Thule perspectiv daypack.

I was swooning avout a peak design everyday back pack, then saw the price and actually laughed out loud. Nice, but £260 can fuck right off.

The Thule is the only alternative that ticked boxes for me (same as you but can also carry a proper sized tripod, moderate water resistant without needing crappy high visibility plastic sack over the top. It's about 20-25l in capacity and has a plastic forming pice between the back rest and the floor of the nag, keeping it's shape whilst you forage around inside.
It's also light, only 1.1/1.2kg
My last bag was a dakine photpacj, useful at thr time, but not for getting into without having to put it in thr floor. Also was around 2-2.5kg before you load it and had little shape.

Thule is around £160 IN the UK but £88 on one of tge camera shop websites. Ordered one yesterday

Anyone used the Tenba messenger series, I'm looking a medium or a large.

used domke f1 / f2 / f6
you'll thank me later

Has anyone got a Fujifilm X100f? and is there any good reason why I shouldn't buy one?

My dad has one. It's rather great.

Haven’t checked domke for a while, will do. Last time I had the camera bag itch they felt a bit like old-man-with-a-Leica-and-a-photography-vest though...
