Thanks everyone for the insight.  I'm looking at getting a cbr 600 (f4i) as soon as I have the money. I really do appreciate the insight. Thanks again

I own a recently restored (not completely with all Land Rover parts though) '69 (im pretty sure) Land Rover as well (I realize you have a Defender)! So much fun to drive!

Lately I have been shooting very dry,rigid and cold compositions so I don't think warmtone paper will fit the bill as of now, but I have used it and it is def. something that is fun/interesting to experiment with.  Only tried the FB but maybe I'll pick up some RC to really see what the...

I may as well post an image I took considering all you have allowed me to enjoy viewing some of yours...So I will post one of my first pictures at that, before I knew even a fraction of what I do now in terms of both shooting and printing and photography in general! Now-a-days I primarily shoot...

If you are looking for a flash simply to offer a much more controllable and "refined" light to low-light and less than ideal light conditions and want to figure out the most cost-friendly solution...I would suggest any hot-shoe flash that has at least a titling head and interactive set-up, such...

  Quote: I agree that building a CMOY and  discussing not only what it is (what a headphone/any amp is) but how it is involved in the process through which we are all able to appreciate recorded/amplified/etc. sounds/music/etc....is a great idea! I also agree that not only will...

  Quote: I agree. I just wanted to make sure he understood that even if he found a place that printed all his pictures with a green hue (as an example), that as long as they were able to process his film more efficiently/cheaper than any other place and do so CORRECTLY, he could...

Yeah the F5 is massive, even more so than my buddy's F4s. In terms of walking around with it....I don't....I use my FM2 (oldest/most trusted/beatable body), or newly (year old) bought F100 (praise AF) for that since it honestly isn't worth the hassle/awkwardness/weight. I mostly use it if I am...

In my honest opinion, grips are not worth the hassle they create if you plan on just doing some casual shooting (unless the grip is a part of the body like on my F5) since in my knowledge they are mainly mean to increase the amount of pictures one can take in a row and the rate at which these...

THANK YOU!!!

I know that this is a fairly common question and that it is suggested that a new rider begins on a 250, but I was just wondering what everyone here thought: I finally have my license, and plan on getting a bike in the very near future. As of right now the two bikes I have been looking at, have...

Hey, I am 20.   Started listening to music around 13. At the time was mostly interested in Blink 182, Ramones, Nirvana, etc. I then began to listen to Pennywise, Rancid, Sham 69, Lower Class Brats, etc. Once I got to college I started listening a lot more to Cold War Kids, Arctic Monkeys...

I would love to to win these! Thanks for the offer! Congrats on whomever does end up with them!

Thanks a lot for the response! I will try and find some Mullard M8100s, and if I cant find them anywhere else I will resort to Ebay!

Just got the EF2 and am seriously in love with it! Its my first amp (not including Fiio E5). Of course I am already itching to start rolling tubes with it, but have no idea what tubes are considered as good starts (in terms of which tubes are believed to have which characteristics) as well as no...

I am new to the forums and was wondering if it is possible or worth it to use a M-audio Sonica as a dac to an amp from my laptop? Thanks
