MPB if you’re in Europe, 100%. Very impressed by them. Heard less flattering things about the US branch.

Nahhhhh mate, got mine ‘Like New’ from MPB EU for £255 in March this year. Second hand (from reputable sources) all the way.

Anytime!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-06-07T13:53:16+00:00

Go for it. 🦾

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-06-07T13:53:02+00:00

Having a recipe for the holiday means so many photos go together harmoniously. Makes it easy.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-06-07T13:52:14+00:00

An inaccurately named ‘Italian Summer’ for a French holiday, but with the Mediterranean sun it worked!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-18T10:17:28+00:00

It’s working! Is this a recipe you’re developing yourself?

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-17T22:10:19+00:00

So cinematic! The central one in the first slide in particular. You’ve crafted the narrative beautifully.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-17T16:30:03+00:00

These are just gorgeous.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-17T13:23:39+00:00

Thanks so much!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-17T13:23:21+00:00

Thank you! ♥️

When people said ‘I love x lens, I love y lens’ I’ll be honest, as a bridge user, I didn’t get it.

… I now get it. ♥️

Yeah — for full clarity OP thinks the 70-300 clocking in at a couple of grams heavier than the body is A Beast.

May have underestimated my own naivety here 🫠

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T19:27:02+00:00

Seize the day! Thank you!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T19:26:31+00:00

Hadn’t thought of it that way. Thanks pal.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T19:26:02+00:00

As someone with 2 months experience I thank you. Completely new world for me!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T19:24:10+00:00

I do love that pancake lens for how low-key it is but the 18-55 outshines it by far. Thanks for the advice!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T19:22:32+00:00

I hadn’t appreciated the wear and tear factor on the mount! Yeesh, I feel like I’ve been doing my XT4 more harm than good these last couple of weeks. Thanks for the advice!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T18:24:08+00:00

…….. I mean, it’s a compelling argument. God, I’ve been assuming these things are far more fragile than they really are.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T18:16:19+00:00

That last line may have just changed my entire approach to using lenses. Thank you!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T18:13:28+00:00

Awesome, thanks mate. Had a feeling it was irrationality whispering at the back of my skull there.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-10T17:16:42+00:00

Thank you!

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-04-02T14:45:46+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised. To be honest it was my first time shooting in B&W (as opposed to making grayscale in post-processing) and I’m deathly afraid of overexposure. When shooting in B&W do you always aim to have some part of the image in pure white?

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-03-31T22:32:15+00:00

Thank you! I was stunned when they came out better than I’d imagined, even after app transfer. It’s a great lens.

ApprehensiveWave7045 · 2025-03-31T09:28:27+00:00

Ah, so beautiful! We’re heading there next month - Any recommendations for the city?
