I’m looking at getting the Fuji 18mm f2. On eBay they seem to be about £200-£220 in excellent condition, for the same condition on MPB it’s about £250-£270. Is the extra 25% or so worth it for the warranty and the safety that comes from getting it from a shop vs a person?

Hi, So going to Florida late November for 10 days and after some searching Vero beach area seems to be a bit of a hot spot for Osprey but it is quite large area so looking for any information as to where best to photograph Osprey, I see a guy called Mark Smith seems to like this area but like most YouTubers doesn't say exactly where unless you pay about $2000 for a two day guided experience, yes $2000 so I've seen. Thanks in advance for any information, Russ.

anyone any recommendations for either? Ive cancelled prime because to me the selection is she-ite, However am desperately trying to finish the man in the high castle as thats pretty good. Into the Badlands also not bad. Black sails was a bit dull I thought and the Arrow ones just ridiculously bad acting all round. Bosch series 1 was pretty good too, second one a bit slow.(although Geri Ryan looking very nice in it ) Anything worth going back to Netflix for? Daredevil season... Read more

I bought a Nikon D80 and the 35mm 1.8 DX lens so I could get somewhat close to the feeling of using a film camera without using film now my film usage has hugely dropped off. I was playing around with the lens this morning, it made a nasty squeal when I focused and now it will not auto focus at all. Luckily the manual focus isnt by wire and the lens still stops down so it is now manual focus only! I was thinking of selling it but now as its essentially worthless I have nothing to lose by...

So, finally MOD 2 tests are being restarted here in Wales. Mine was supposed to be on March 23rd, so was cancelled as we went into lockdown. Today I got my new date so shortly I’ll buy my next bike. It will either be the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT or the Triumph Tiger 800 XRX. The Tiger is a lot pricier but comes with the toys (heated grips, cruise control, TFT display). For a more powerful and bigger engined bike it also is lighter than the Suzuki. If I buy it before the end of August it will... Read more
