Digital photography

You'll be fine with it, it's a perfect lens that does just what you need it to do.

Who changed the title... I'm a bit sad, but it is much easier to work out which is which now!

by requested to the moderator, frankly it's easier to keep thing simple.

:(

Can someone change the other one to make sense too now?

I think it's stupid to have two separate threads in the first place.

Nah we need two threads. Keeps the hipsters snobs purists in their place.

Lots of cross pollination missed out on. Every aspect of photography is applicable to each (accept for what happens with the camera body) - so discussions on shutter speed, ISO, aperture, lenses, lighting, tripods, filters, technique (etc etc) could have twice the interest / audience.

P.S I saw you in the Post Office (Old Street roundabout) on Wednesday . .

Ha! Should have said hey. Co-incidentally I was sending off a lens I'd just sold on eBay.

I gave in and bought the canon 17-40 f/4 L yesterday (in US though). I really wanted a wide angle, so done.

I really want to try this lens on a 5D, I love my 28mm but would like wider some times.

I prefer to watch . . . from afar, just watch . . . slowly tracking your every step, just stood staring, my eyes dancing over you, from hat to shoe, drinking it all in, trying to work out what you are thinking, a bead of sweat traces it's way down my face, staring at you silently but grinning, just grinning, but always safe, I know I'm safe, if it happens again all I need do is run away, run like the little man told me, run he said, as fast as you can, run, passed Argos, passed the Co-op and up the road, right up it, until you are home - and then lock the doors, lock them, Ben needn't know you had been watching him, sure he can call the police, but you know this, so you stay up all night, with your clothes on, in the bed with your clothes on and if you hear them coming up the corridor, you'd be out the window, no time to think grab what you can, the small framed picture of ben, the half sovereign and some food, just basics, nothing fancy, rice, spaghetti, onions, a dash of basil and your off, keep low, keep really low, run on all fours through the night like a little pig running away from the chopper, stick to the bushes, then the side streets, no one will see you, if they do shout "liar, liar, liar" at them and run away as quickly as you can, head for the motorway and run down it, run really fast, by morning you should be in the countryside, try and blend in, don't mention what happened, try and keep the conversation light, pick up some more basics, some spray, some string, a bar of soap, maybe a hat, find a river, lather up and shave all your hair off, all of it, the police can't tell it's you if you hair is missing, wash your clothes in the river, quickly grow a moustache, maybe have a shit into the river (it will float away and if they find it they can track it back to you, so tie a little bit of string around it and put a rock on the other end so it sinks to the bottom of the river) - suddenly a noise ! What is it, should you run ! But if you run they will hear you, it might be Ben ! Grab your clothes, no time to think, grab everything, jump into the river and swim like you have never swam before, just keep swimming, for hours and hours, hours turn into days, days into weeks, swimming as fast as you can for 4 weeks, a month, it's safe now, no one's around, get out of the river, dry all your things by squeezing them, it's nice here, just soil leaves and a few trees, you can live here, make it your home, you don't know where you are, might be Sheffield, they've got a river there, it's called the River Sheaf, you were swimming pretty fast for 4 weeks so it's probably Sheffield, there is a motorway nearby which will be handy for getting around when I need ammunition for my guns, also I can use the toilet in the service station I swam passed a few miles back, yes, this all seems perfect, oh look my clothes have dried now, so I can put them back on, it's starting to get dark now, so I dig a hole to sleep in with my bare hands, I put all my stuff in it, my picture of Ben, the food and the stuff I bought from the shops, I jump in myself, it's quite a way down, I must have dug it really deep, I am still jumping down, and still now jumping down . . . . and still going (about half way) . . . nearly there, eventually I land at the bottom of my hole, I am really tired now (from jumping all that way) so I decide to go to sleep, I put the picture of Ben next to me, like were both in the same hole, like we are on holiday.

cool bra story

That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me.

Sandwiches for me :)

sis told me off for getting chocolate on her laptop :/

Seriously thinking about getting a Ricoh GRD3 as an everyday camera. I have the grd1 which i really like, perfect size and handling, though terribly slow esp for shooting raw, which i really want to do.

However, it's 3 years old or so, so there must be more interesting newer options? Came across the Canon S95is last night which seems interesting part from how it looks. Same big sensor as in the G12, but faster lens.

Both are same kinda monies, £300ish, and that's what I'm happy to spend. Less is better of course.

Anyone got anything to recommend?

Can you still get the Lumix LX3? Should be about 300 sheets, as good as the LX5 and better looking.

looks nice, never seen it in the flesh though. don't like that lens sticking out however, looks like it could get get stuck in pockets

Oh yeah it's not one of them back-pocket cameras, needs a case really.

perfect name for it - back-pocket camera. That's what I'm after

Otherwise i'd probably get on the micro 4/3 train

I found the Ricoh to have the best user interface and it's so easy to use, great colour etc.

Even though I have a new digital compact (APS-C sensor), the Ricoh is still the best for it's user interface.

I wonder if they're releasing a new one soon with APS-C sensor?

now that'd be something

and on the interface note, i'm leaning heavily towards the ricoh since i know it's so great to use which'll mean i'll bring it out more. + that i've dropped my grd1 quite a few times and it still works fine so hopefully the grd3 is just as sturdy
