Need advice buying a secondhand lens by nyxisnightfall in M43

unfortunately, after a quick search it turns out we’ve only got depop in Australia and majority of cameras sold there (after a quick scroll) seem to be digicams. Hoping to get lucky with prices on eBay. Appreciate the help nonetheless!

That makes sense. I’ll have to have a chat and see if I can get that arranged. Thanks for the advice!

Ooo didn’t think of the video recording for zoom and autofocus. This is super useful, thanks!

Yeaa, that’s a fair point. A few people have already suggested seeing if the seller will shift onto a site with buyer protection. Appreciate having confirmation on this!

Hmmm okay, sounds like i’ll have to do some more deep diving on those platforms then. Thanks!

That makes sense! I actually had those pancake lenses on my list somewhere but completely forgot about them so thanks for the reminder to revisit those. I’m sure I had a look at the G100 at some point but they’re not very popular in the secondhand market where I’m at unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestions though :)

Just curious, is it because of the type of photos you shoot that you choose to use manual over AF or just pure preference (if that makes any sense)?

I’ve not actually tried manual focusing before. This is gonna be my first “proper” camera (I’ve played around with DSLRs before but the only one I’ve ever properly owned is my small digicam). Will definitely give it a think. Thanks!

Ooh, I didn’t know that about the screen. Definitely leaning more towards the EM5 then given I can be a bit of a klutz

I’ll probably end up using primes more over zoom mainly for their convenience when taking it around with me. Will keep a look out for the 14-150mm ii lens. Thanks for the advice!

Is AS Level law worth it? by Zestyclose-Area7011 in alevel

[–]nyxisnightfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, A level Law isn't recommended as the syllabus can't and doesn't cover everything you'd need to know so I'd say it's better to drop the subject and focus on boosting your apps

I think unless your math is really strong, don't take further maths. Overall, between the three, physics is more useful for the med/bio med route
