Believe me it is simple, call me if you get one

I have said it before, "photographic insurance" And No, don't bother as Black Pearl says.

NO New and old are SIMPLE Believe me I use a weston to this day, the only difference is sensitivity A Weston will just read indoors, a decent meter like the Autometer V will read indoors no problem and is also a studio meter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Minolta-V-Flash-Meter-/281410032182?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_CameraAccessories_CameraFlashUnits_JN&hash=item4185585236 Why would the age of a meter concern you, just ask "is it is perfect working order" when you bid I have the only complete collection of Weston Meters I know of, a sad thing I know.

Hmmmm Leningrad ok, not the Russion version of a Weston though, just an alternative meter, the weston had no competition but ANY meter that does incident and is accurate will work.

Get a Weston Euromaster on ebay, one of the best meters ever made, I bought mine new, and it is mint today, then use incident readings for perfect shots every time. Incident metering http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weston-Euro-Master-and-invercone-lightmeter-VGC-case-/281404421511?pt=UK_Photography_Light_Meters&hash=item418502b587 In fact peope ask "how can I point the meter at the camera when what I am shooting is a landscape" He says you can't do it, you can Think.................................... The light you are measuring is falling on the subject and no different from what in the field is falling on you, as long as you are not under a tree, just hold the meter above your shoulder with the invercone facing backwards Here are my meters I still use the Euromaster/mk2/6

Except the instruction manuals are as large as the cameras these days

I NEVER knew about it till someone told me yesterday, too much to learn on new cameras

1. Missing question mark, I think I am great for a dyslexic. 2. What has the reply "machine gun approach" to do with the answer, I remember an article (almost) where they were being run down, as film cameras, sometimes made by Minolta I believe. never mind

As you may (or may not know) the newer (not all) cameras, the D7000/7100 and D4/s can be adjusted in settings menu (pencil) to alter the Continuous Low frame rate. The D7100 for example has a High rate of 7fps but the CL rate can be set from 1fps to 7fps

Pessimist Try it

Great for £99 nice one hang on £99 WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ain't having MY money

What I wanted to know was are leicas all leicas or a mix of cameras http://www.thecamerasite.net/01_SLR_Cameras/Pages/leica.htm The R4 for example was part Minolta

Or this one of 10

Why do people say that "machine gun" approach One assumes that it is NOT aimed at sports photographers. Single frame time taking may be ok for easy going landscape work but not fast sports. Of course I could miss 9 out of 10 GOOD shots with the one shot approach but that was not the question I asked

I was at the living coast the past week with my son and this chap was talking to anyone who would listen to him, he was extolling the virtues of the "best camera ever" the/his Leica digital. Personally I have never seen anything in them and they are pointless for what I shoot but are they that good. I remember an article (almost) where they were being run down, as film cameras, sometimes made by Minolta I believe. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/893157-USA/Leica_10803_S_Type_006_Digital.html

Thanks but I should have posted them in the thread I started about going self employed to be honest. In fact I was not I hope showing off just what I had bought to show what the heck I needed to become a freelance. As for (Gran) talking about showing off Brockthebadger, I could take you to events I shoot where the average car price is £500,000, Beaulieu speed weekend, Jet ski races where People spend £18k on their Skis, Hore shows where their animals for countless thousands a year, ALL of which show their gear on forums and facebook, in fact Andy Wilby, Team Ty-phoo recently posted shots of his new "Rolex Oyster" NONE are showing off, just "showing. This gear is not for pleasure (well ok it is as well as I have loved photography all my life) it is for work. JR

Not good enough, whats not good enough about photographs. There is an old expression, every photograph you take is a good one to you. If others don't appreciate them, TOUGH Welcome If you crop the old Seagull engine and torn it to mono I will look a lot better

I think in fact you will probably be right only there is a good one cheap on ebay

Thanks

NOT the circular type but linear Thanks

The problem with HDR is like everything else, "Oh my camera can do this, and I can post process that" So they do it to death. OTT and overdone. There was a fad a while back for "out of frame", that I am pleased to say has passed also +1, 100%

Tell the others as well Won't post any more

Some like me get excited about our hobby

Errrr well people post images here of new gear so have I IF "you" read my other posts you will understand

Thank you It is NOT intended to be showing off, many photographers have this (in business) I was lucky enough to get money when my father died, now I can try to work for the rest of my life. Also my son has gone back to college to do Plastering, £1000 a year and this was NOT going to happen until I got the money. £18,000 and no
