... most days I found myself going out with just one lens and the body. My kit had become to heavy, and if I'm completely honest a real pain in the backside to the point where when I got home I put it all up for sale.

When I was in America with all my kit, going out daily with only one lens on my camera even that started to get my nerves, so on a couple of occasions all I took with me was my mobile phones camera.

So what to do now with all this money?
do I buy another DSLR and have it sit indoors while I'm out having fun with my phones camera, I absolutely love photography but do we need all this kit. Come on guys what's your opinion what would you do with my money if it was your money to spend?

HEY! Tucson Coyote! I have a beautiful 11 year old, male, Siamese Cat, and he looks, almost EXACTLY, like your LOGO PICTURE! His Father, was a Traditional Apple head Siamese, and his Mother, a beautiful Modern Siamese; this makes him, (what they call,) a "Classic," Siamese Cat.

He looks, very similar to your pictured cat. So, very handsome in every possible way!

He's my best friend! I took him in at 7 weeks old, and he's now still, very healthy, and coming up on 12 years, and still, a big kitten!

He daily, brings such great joy into my life, everyday, without fail!

I used to be a, "dog man," but he is now, my second, Siamese Cat.

I'm divorced, for many years, living alone, and having this, little monkey around with me, at all times, it's just impossible, to ever, become lonely! (Alone yes, but there cannot, be such a thing, as loneliness, with his presence!)

This little guy, knows, my moods, emotional states, and my own inner personality, and he continually adjusts his own behavior. endlessly, in order to match, the way that I am feeling at any given time, and also, in accord with my own given activities!!!

Further, this wonderful, and so very special breed of cat, is always, at my side, continually, I spend very much of my day working from a recliner, and he either sits on my lap, or else lies on it's arm to remain near to me, but gets down when I tell him to.

What a wonderful friend, pet, and companion! I truly love the little guy. (Although, this one, that I have, is a large one!)

Well, when I saw that picture of that Siamese Cat, I just had to brag about m own dear one! His name is Babybuster, following his predecessor Buster, and he is called either Baby or Buster typically.
He always comes when he is called. He loves Classical music and the violins. I have been teaching him words since he was a baby and he undersands as an advanced 2 1/2 year old child does.

Excuse me, but I've seen your posts before, and I know that you're a guy who really knows his cameras. Do you know if I can safely use an old SUNPACK AUTO 322 Thyristor Flash, on my new Nikon D7200 without damaging the camera in any way? The old flash had been previously bought, and used, on my 1980 Nikon F. It is the typical, small/medium sized, vertical flash, that operates with four AA batteries. It has a slide selector switch for it's Power Ratio, that goes from full strength to 1/32, a sliding calculator, that's calibrated for ASA 25-800, and a sliding Calculator Tab, to determine your correct Distance Scale, given one of two different, possible Apertures Settings. Will it safely work on my Nikon D7200, if it had worked, on my Nikon F ? Should it's (non-TTL, auto exposure,) function also, (from the flash,) itself? (I don't know flashes well.) Thanks, Rob.

Three years ago I decided to purchase my first DSLR Camera it was a Nikon D3100 with the 18-55 kit lens. Within two months and with a lot of help from the Internet I had learnt how to use my camera in any of them modes it had to offer. Slowly bit by bit my kit grew in size, first a lens then a tripod, then another lens and a better more expensive tripod with matching ball head quick release mount, a sling back type bag for quick access, an sb600 flash slowly a second one followed then a flash trigger and 2 receivers. This was only about 8 months into my Journey. very dear friend of mine lent me his Nikon on D5100 for a couple of weeks while he was on holiday, it was great so much better than mine, it had a built in interval timer so I made a timelapse movie, the lowlight capabilities were outstanding compare it to mine too. even little things like the screen resolution on the back blew mine out of the water.
It was almost a year later I finally upgraded my body, it felt like forever before I could afford a new one, well what with buying myself a Lee Filters foundation kit and 7 different filters, and not forgeting another lens (macro this time) my kit was getting to big for my bag. Well the day had come, my new Nikon D7100 was here, but what's this, it doesn't fit in my bag, I needed a new one, I also treated my new body to a new lens, a 70-200 f2.8.
I finally solved my Nikon D3100, 2x lenses and first bag to my nephew.
In October last year I went to Florida for three weeks and took most of my camera equipment and a lens that I borrowed off a friend for wide-angle landscape photography, most days I found myself going out with just one lens and the body. My kit had become to heavy, and if I'm completely honest a real pain in the backside to the point where when I got home I put it all up for sale.
Well this was back in November, and last night, after I had completely forgotten all about it being up for sale, completely out of the blue I got a phone call saying they wanted to buy the whole lot for almost the price I had asked for. I got a say I did overprice it a little bit just in case I had sensible offer.

I hope that you got that Dave Busch Guide on the Sony A-6000 Camera, it is now out of print, it has been for awhile,
and there are absolutely NO copies of it available anywhere, and many people want it very badly!

Due to the Law of Supply and Demand, the price and value of that book has SKYROCKETED!!!

Amazon.com has a couple of new copies still available to the public for $1,300.00 the last time that I checked a few months ago, and people who own their own used copies of that book are listing them for sale on Amazon for $999.00!

DO NOT MAKE THE CARELESS MISTAKE OF SIMPLY GIVING THAT BOOK AWAY!

Read through it all again and then put it up for sale on Amazon for several hundred dollars and it will sell quickly,
everyone else is asking close to a thousand dollars for it! Me also!
