Hi Ladislav, Yes - unfortunately Bowens went into liquidation back in 2017 - they basically couldn't compete with companies in certain jurisdictions ripping off their designs and selling them at half the price. But, they have 'sort-of' come back - see the attached...

Many thanks for linking that article - while it wasn't me that asked the question, that was an interesting read, with some useful practical tips. Cheers Stoical.

Aah, okay, I understand. Thanks for responding!

Nice shot. Out of interest though, does the red dot not disturb wildlife? I ask out of genuine interest, as a long-time user of the hood-knob technique too (like PBD), but am always interested in learning what works for others. Cheers

Thanks for sharing - very interesting. I can't help thinking that an 11kg weight (circa 24lbs for our cousins) plus chromatic abrations and likely cost are good reasons why it never made it into full production!

I'm less sure about the future for the EF Rebel line now - I thnk you are quite right about them forming a large market share still, but if I were Canon, and thinking of the "entry-level" aspect of an entry-level range, I might be planning a full migration to mirrorless, such as a...

I'd definitely second you for that suggestion - would love it!

Thanks for posting - we get all new Apples in about two weeks' time (M1 iMacs, M1Max 14" laptops) and I'm hoping the IT guys will ensure everything works and talks to everything else, but I'm skeptical - so postings like this help :)

Almost certainly that, and that alone!

Aah-ha - is that what the 'rate' button is meant to be used for? :):)

I'm more surprised that there have been that many orders for the RF600 f/4 - or did they just not make many in the first case??

Many thanks for sharing. I was tempted by the product, though was one of those somewhat skeptical that Vitec plc (who own Gitzo) needed to crowd-fund., and so had some doubts about it. By the time I'd decided to go with it anyway, the offers in the UK that were of interest to me were taken...

There are also some lucky 'togs at the Italy - Wales match this evening with their R3's in action! Can't be lomg now, surely, for a good leak??

YES - in a word. In more words: there are always use cases for being able to crop further in, albeit electronically, before presenting your shots on the birds in flight or bird portrait threads :giggle:

And not to mention sticking it in the sand too! :) You'd be hoping it was securely propped up - I wouldn't fancy handing it back to Canon at the end of the week with sand inside :cool:

I've highlighted part of your response - because that is effectively what I am suggesting: I don't think Canon would be saying the R3 is the camera for wedding photographers, given the way they are setting it up in their press releases. Now, that doesn't mean it wouldn't perhaps be a great...

But Canon aren't saying that the R3 is an improved replacement for the R5 - surely this is more about certain models being used designed or specified for specific use types? I can't believe their initial comments alongside the initial releases which say "Our new high-performance, high-speed...

For my part, I've always equated 'clinical' with 'sterile' - a very good thing if undergoing open surgery, but also suggestive in non-medical settings as lacking some warmth or character. I'll now go and share Sporgon's tin hat ....

If you're getting/got the 600, then I'd go for the 1.4x too - it's not much more ..... :) I've got both 1.4x and 2x (both mk iii) - and while I can't speak for how they work with the 600, I use them on a 500 f/4 ii, and for me, and my versions, the 1.4x is definitely better than the 2x when it...

I think the bottom fell out of the stock market many years ago (as PDB says) - as the rise of ever technically better photos came with the digital revolution, so stock agencies not only had many more photos sent to them, but also merged to form larger organisations with more power. At the same...
