That lens sounds tasty.

Yeah, very tempted by an xpro1 and the 23mm. It's a lot of money for a bit more light though... Apparently x100 update will be a few days

been waiting for that lens to come along

Some recent ones. I'm really falling for the black and white that comes from my 5d mk1. 'Death of SLR' my arse.

Aldeburgh yesterday.

Really like that, nice editing especially

Also been playing with digital B&W:

Also trying for the Dan Winters type of look:

Is that straight out of the can?

Sanddancer what frame are you using on those? They look like negative scans.

I think it's 'frame 1' from Silver Efex.

I hate fake frames, but for some reason can't stop myself putting them on all my pictures lately.

^ yeah - lose the frames

good shots otherwise! The first one in particular

I think they look good sometimes. Just don't over do it!

Might have to check silver efex out.

Couple from a recent break.

lose the frames

+1

For the thousandth time in this thread, what do people use when they want a pouch to bung in a normal bag? Domke inserts?

What size camera? I use a lowepro zoom bag with the strap removed to bung in a rucksack.

I use good old fashioned bubble wrap and a t-shirt... probably a bad idea... but I never had expensive cameras... wait... I do now... shit, so yes. what do people use??

I've found neoprene on eBay where one side is the fluffy part of velcro, so I'm planning to buy some + the other side of velcro and stitch on the corners, would make for a flexible wrap thing that would close on itself.

Did any of that make sense?

You can buy them as well: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neoprene-Wrap-Velcro-Cover-20x20-50x50cm-for-DSLR-SLR-Wimberley-Flash-Lens-NEX-/380617542615?refid=store

I guess these work, but I always hated those things. It's fiddly if you have more of them, for other stuff you need as well, and they don't protect against cookie crumbles.

I use a smaller or larger real (padded) camera bag, depending on how much lenses and stuff I want to bring along,
and just put this in the rucksack, usually on top.
You may lose a bit of space, but I find it's really good to have a camera bag with you anyway that you'll have around your shoulder when actually shooting or on 'standby'.

I use the same thing albeit a Domke so probably paid for the brand name. Very versatile, especially if you have different camera bodies of different shape.

+1 for a t-shirt. My first lens (Nikon f2.8 35-70) I used to keep a sock. Cameras are pretty durable. Anything vaguely padded will be fine.

True for higher end dslr's, wouldn't say the same for smaller cameras. My gx1 didn't feel as rock solid as my 5d. The xe-1 is better, but still not on par.

+1 for a t-shirt (...) Cameras are pretty durable.

That's basically like saying "coitus interruptus is a reliable way of contraception".
