GKPE 8, Yet more NZ ramblings from some flightless Kiwis.

I would have been more happer with the 6D if the all the autopoints was cross type. I find as I am getting older and I now wear glasses. So I am relying on the AF points more.

The film camera 3D has better AF than the 6D. (BTW this camera is very nice to use)

I am waiting to see what canon does with the mirrorless format.

But I have a big shopping list,

in no order, (in other words, how they come out of the brain)

A new camera,
medium format film camera
carbon fibre tripod,
NAS (don't have one)
graphics cards (I do some gaming and the current card is really old)
which could lead to a computer upgrade
stand up desk,


well ok its not that big.

I too have difficulty focussing because of my eyesight. I now have Canon M5 which has focus peaking, ad I am loving using old manual lenses on it, with adapters. Some great bokeh posible - I enjoy trying for that sometimes, but not everyone does, of course.

Thanks team. It’s Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The towers look particularly nice at night, but unfortunately I was unable to get out with the camera after dark, I only had a few hours free this afternoon. I managed an iPhone shot on my way past the other night though...

On the way to the airport now for the long trip home. I have to say that traveling for work isn’t as glamorous as it sounds.

Reminds me of Shanghai at night

I just stumbled on this thread this evening while idly looking at POTN, and noticing a thread in RTAT. Be interesting to see other's takes on NZ

Good to see you here Rose!

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

My 10 years is up for my camera body, have gas at moment so looking for new landscape camera (digital) think I might go and have a look at this

Looks amazing! Weather sealed got to be a bonus for landscape. But the price is astronomic to me . But if you keep it ten years then I guess it works out

and then there are all the new lens ……….. why cant canon have a 5Ds with better iso and no video rubbish and tilt screen ……… trouble is do I need it ….. ummm

Do you mean you want the tilt screen, or dislike it? I don't know the 5Ds at all. I really liked the articulating screen on the 70D, but the M5 only has tilt.

Moving to another system seems to have all sorts of potholes in the road.

I used to go to a website NZ photographers, called, I thought hellophoto.co.nz but it seems to be selling clothing.

Have I got the name wrong , or has it closed down. I know the last few times I went there, it was very, very quiet, after previously being busy.

I remember them - got sold off to D-Photo and thereafter abandoned... the spammers took over so they shut it down rather than clean it up.
