Re: The new photography thread

A friend of mine has been doing his pilots license / commercial license. So many opportunities for photos!

Been a while since I've posted in this thread. I've recently moved to Canada, had to sell a few of my camera bits. Hopefully I can get some good deals in black friday.

If you are a member of the bmw car club they do valuations. You normally get discount with insurance by being a member too.

Re: Mods, photography thread ?

I'd considered a A7rii actually. But the 5dmkiv would be a better all rounder for me I feel. Especially when I go out to Canada, I feel the weather sealing on the canon will be priceless in the winters.

Re: Mods, photography thread ?

I'm glad you're happy with it! The mk2's autofocus is slow really, which is kind of why I bought a 7d. Plus i'm starting to do a bit more night time photography after getting a star tracker and the mk4 seems to be miles better!

How do you find the 5dmkiv? I'm thinking of selling my 5dmk2 and my 7d in favour of it. The backdrop suits the m3 well!

55l to 63l fuel tank swap

I'm expecting that the extra few litres will come in useful when I get my new engine in, so how much of a ballache is it to upgrade to the bigger fuel tank? I know i'll need a fuel gauge to match the bigger tank, but is there a point in the loom where you can plug in the wiring for the bigger tank s...
