Not sure what lenses you plan on bringing to Japan @Giles but could you bring your 28mm?

I've ordered one but it won't arrive in-time!

[Giles]

Yes I can.

[dylantbmayes]

Thanks G!

I'll be bringing my 50mm and manual focus macro.

Happy Mother's Day, Nana!

I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted a D750, @Giles…

Picked one up on my last day in Tokyo. Secondhand AND Duty Free!

[Giles]

I heard that you had…....

Some random photos Leica M8 w/ Summarit 35

There's an interesting interview about the Sony A7 R II at:

http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2015/06/16/sony-qa-the-must-have-sensor-tech-of-the-future

I'm interested in the camera from a video perspective, and the sensor sounds fantastic for that. They're sampling across fifteen photosites per pixel at 4K, which should give absolutely fantastic images.

I ended up selling my Sony A7ii. I wasn't using it since getting another Leica M8. The IQ on the Sony is actually too good. The photos almost look like the went through to much post processing.

My tripod and head has FINALLY arrived!

Vanguard Alta Pro 264AT

Vanguard Griphead GH-300T

[Giles]

Like those….

[dylantbmayes]

Figured you might

Price is far more reasonable than Manfrotto and the quality is comparable.

The tripods hex centre column is a really great feature!

[Giles]

Like to know what you think of the head after some use….

[dylantbmayes]

I'll definitely let you know how it compares to your Manfrotto's!

Hey everyone. I know there is a lot of expert photographers in this forum. It's time to welcome another noob into it. I know basic photography terms and practices. But still never tread past auto focus. I have got a Nikon D40x that was gifted to me a while back. This is probably laughable on this forum. But DSLR cameras are very complicated compared to an iPhone. So. I notice a lot of people have the hand clicker to take photos and probably decent tri pods. Any suggestions on where I could pick up some entry level stuff. My roommate just plain isn't interested in taking WAYWT pics for me. So any help is appreciated. Thanks stubborn crew!

Here's your remote control:

Then get something like this:
