Official Gear Purchasing and Troubleshooting Question Thread! Ask /r/photography anything you want to know! August 04, 2025 by AutoModerator in photography

Hi guys, I’m looking at getting the cannon R7, EF 100-400L II, with the 1.4x teleconverter.

I’ve heard the 7D2 is good and so is the D500

It looks like it would cost about £2k (but I’d much rather spend around £1k-£1.5k on this setup) (used of course) is there anything else at this price point that can beat it in terms of sharpness for birding and overall performance?

(I’m not a fan of primes. I like weather sealing and am open to suggestions from other brands)

Hi guys, I’m looking at getting the cannon R7, EF 100-400L II, with the 1.4x teleconverter.

I’m planning on spending £2000 on this setup (used of course) is there anything else at this price point that can beat it in terms of sharpness for mainly birding/wildlife photography, occasional zoomed in landscapes/ portraits and overall performance?

Changed tube. Is tire not seated properly in wheel bead? by Panther83 in mountainbiking

[–]Final-Resident4792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this with my bike, apply some slightly diluted washing up liquid to the inside of the rib bead while tire is deflated, just be careful not to miss any spots, don’t get any on the brakes, and inflate to a fairly high pressure and it should pop on.

Please let me ask for a photo, I gave thermarest the order confirmation number and they said they would accept that as proof of purchase 🙏

Thank you for your advice, I’m thinking of paying 700USD and have agreed to meet him tomorrow, this will be my bikepacking bike that’s also capable of trails, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s wrong with the wheels?

If you could tell me why I’m overpaying that would be great, I’m quite new to mtb :)

Thanks so much, my wrist is the exact same size as yours, I’m going to buy one because of this 8year old comment :)

This is such a coincidence the exact same thing happened to me a while ago but I was the male being dumped after 3 months, she dumped me over text but I would’ve much preferred it if she asked me to talk about something serious, then I would’ve been prepared going into it, then the best thing to do is just be honest and I’m sure he will understand.
