What camera do I buy? / general gear talk

Is there enough difference to justify two cameras? What about something pocketable like a Ricoh grd?

Came home with the F2.8 16-55 today, a mighty lens.

Really fancy trying out a Fuji x100. (Always lusted after one)

I know they're pretty popular on here, anyone thinking of selling?

Not really but the xt20 is brand new, don’t feel like crashing it :p

Anyone know a decent prices for a x100? Saw one in a shop for 350 euro’s.

Will look at the other suggestions!

I'm thinking about selling my x100s and maybe trying an xt1 or 2?

Very interesting! Will pm...

Ebay handle lefty68 isn’t on-here are they?

Hi,

I'm thinking about selling my Bronica ETRSi if someone is looking for some medium format film camera shoot me a message.

I had one and can confirm it's a fantastic camera.

Sure is. I'm surprised how much "pop" this lens can give despite it only being a 2.8 and max 55. It'll not replace my 16 1.4 or 35 2.0 but it makes for a great travel lens.

Fuji X100V looks quite nice. No need at all to get one, but... it looks quite nice.

X-T4 is coming, official announcement end of Feb.

Just wrote an email to Fuji if they can't give me a break and keep their faulty X-H1 and make me deal on the new X-T4. Never know....

Fuji X100V looks quite nice. No need at all to get one, but... it looks quite nice.

I'll upgrade my F, so if anyone wants a mint, boxed F let me know - you need to offer more than I'll get as a trade in, and not want it posted to North Korea.

Does anyone have any advice on getting photo gear valued in London? Considering selling my Rollei Planar 2.8f but there’s such a range of prices out there. I love this camera and have really enjoyed taking pics with it but just can’t afford the film any more, and while it looks lovely on my shelf...

look at the prices here: https://apertureuk.com/used-cameras/medium-large-format/

one sold for £1750 .. I imagine you get £1400-1500, maybe they do commission sale like they do for Leica.

You will definitely get more on ebay.

That’s really helpful. Thanks.

I am thinking of selling my Lumix Gm-5 as it rarely gets used.

Has the original lens, a sigma f2 60mm lens, 3 batteries, charger, lil case and the straps.

Its been well looked after (always lives in a case) and hardly used since I bought it off @amey a few years back.

Looking for £300 plus postage.

Ill get some photos tomorrow.

Are wex usually ok for online purchases or are they another one of these stores who habitually lie about stock? Just ordered a camera bag that was in stock and they just emailed to say it’s out of stock but that they have just ordered it from their supplier.

If only I had the money but alas... Two kids...

They're usually good - though I find that if you search for something on Google and it gives you a preview of Wex (Also ProAV and a few other places) the preview invariably says in stock, then you get there and it says out of stock.

But my experience with them has been good. I also like Harrison if ProAV or CVP don't have what I need.

Anyone have any experience with Sumo monitor-recorders?

WEX are decent in my experience, they've got a shop in Whitechapel with a lot of kit in it.

I’ve literally just walked out of their Whitechapel shop- returning a lens cap that they sent me, which was the wrong one.

In that case I’ll trust them to solve the issue and just wait for the bag to arrive.

Anyone recommend a good bag for riding with? Would need to hold a camera, a long lens, a standard 50mm lens and a few other bits. Ideally not to bulky.

Or am I better off getting something like an osprey rucksack and buying a load of inserts?
