    N00bie Sony A7 III Help

    I find that having a lower F value lens will help you out at the beginning to be able to keep your photos sharp with faster shutter timer, be more useable in lower light and provide that bokeh to get the artistic shot. A prime with F1.8 would be a great next lens to move on to, just have to...

    New prime - Recommendations?

    I have both the Sony 85 1.8 and 35 1.8 and I would say the 35 1.8 would be a good choice if you want light and not too expensive. I am finding that the 35 1.8 stays on my camera the most now as it’s such a great focal length for everything and makes people look great. Love the 85 but with my...

    Thermal paste on CPU query

    Hi all, I am building a new computer for the first time in 20 years. Have got an Intel 12600k and bought a Corsair h100 AIO cooler. The AIO comes with thermal paste factory applied, do I need to also buy some thermal paste to apply on the to CPU too? Michael

    Thank you for the replies, feel more reassured to look at AMD cards now, especially as OcUK have good prices for them.

    G Sync monitor and AMD graphics card

    Hi All, I am building a new computer and have just bought this MSI monitor which is G Sync compatible : https://www.msi.com/Monitor/Optix-MAG274QRF-QD I was thinking if buying a Nvidia 3060 TI as my GPU but now considering 6700xt as reviews seem to say it’s more future proof. What do you...

    Got the upgrade itch. Bad idea right now?

    3060 ti for £369 is now out of stock where I have seen it, have you seen stock for that price? How often does the FE come back in stock? Quite gutted that I didn’t order it last week.

    Sony A7ii and 24-105 Vs 85mm 1.8 (Sony)

    Managed to get a Sony 85 1.8 from the rainforest special event for £352! Arrived today and loving the blurred background so far, looking forward to learning more from it and impressed with it's focusing speed. It's a shame the A7ii doesn't do eye AF as AF-C :( I really like the size of it with...

    Sony A7ii and 24-105 Vs 85mm 1.8 (Sony)

    Thanks for the link, I'm looking to buy one new as I'll probably keep it forever. It's not too much more new at £450 atm with cashback.

    Sony A7ii and 24-105 Vs 85mm 1.8 (Sony)

    :cry: exactly my thinking. I was super proud of my 12-40 f2.8 lens then realised compared to full frame it's the equivalent of approx f5.6 on full frame, hence craving a bit of 1.8 or 1.4..... even 1.2 if I win the lottery! Is the 85 1.8 any good then Raymond? I have read some of your replies...

    Sony A7ii and 24-105 Vs 85mm 1.8 (Sony)

    Definitely craving more shallow DOF and also better shutter times with lower ISO.

    Sony A7ii and 24-105 Vs 85mm 1.8 (Sony)

    Hi all, I have recently upgraded from an Olympus EM1 with the 12-40 pro lens to a Sony A7ii and the 24-105 f4 lens. So far I'm loving the sharpness and IQ I am getting from the combo, it's a bit big but I can live with that for the results it gives. I am thinking of getting the Sony 85mm 1.8...

    Strange issue with Pixel XL and Bluetooth headset

    Hi all, For the past few months I've had a strange problem with using my Bluetooth headset connected to my Pixel XL. Problem: When the phone is locked and I use the headset to call out via the Google assistant it makes the call but default to loud speaker setting rather than keeping it to the...

    RYZEN & RX 580 LAPTOPS ARE HERE!!!

    Am seriously considering the Ryzen 7 version of these laptops but feel it might be OTT for what I am looking for. I am in desperate need of a new laptop, current one is a 4 year old dell i3 which is snail pace. I use my laptop for mainly browsing, spreadsheet and word processing work but I also...
