It's the first time I've had my hands on a Fenix and I'm looking forward to getting out on the hills with it. The brighter settings are amazing, but I want to see just how good the lower settings are for extended use while night walking. The initial impressions are all good. Do you find the...

Hello folks, I've got a Fenix PD30 Premium R5 torch and a few accessories in for review. The accessories are the Fenix red filter and camping lampshade, plus an Ortec headstrap. The plan is to test out the torch as a headlamp (with the red filter for night nav), and as a general camp light...

:D Very good :35:

+1 DOF merely describes the nearest and furthest point from the camera which is in focus. Sometimes you want a very narrow DOF (e.g. in portraiture) and sometimes you want a very large DOF (e.g. in landscapes). Selecting an appropriate aperture is only one part of the equation. The distance to...

The northern lights are a notoriously difficult subject to photograph. Google is your friend - and photography related forums.

...except when the rules specify that the entries must of wild animals.

Some of those apparent differences will be due to the lens - without getting technical, wider angle lenses stretch things out while longer lenses compress them. The two photos are taken with wide and long lenses. Another major difference is the contrast and saturation - again these are to do...

:D Excellent! When I was about 7 I found a purse with the grand sum of 2 pounds and 1 pence inside. I handed it to the nearest policeman. A year later I got a letter from the local police station telling me that as no one had claimed it I could have it. A good lesson. A few years later I found...

I haven;t got this version of the phone but I do have the previous version - the Samsung Solid M110. Honest opinions: Basic Good call quality Awful interface and infuriating phonebook and texting Very rugged - dropped several time without damage Works slowly when subzero (but still works!) The...

Hmm, hadn't seen this thread before ... I wonder where I could go ... :camping:

Maybe a problem with the lantern itself then? I've just had a look at mine and can't see any reason why the bit of metal that presses into the self seal valve wouldn't be doing its job, so maybe the valve on the lantern itself? Don't know what else to suggest mate - like I said, mine has work...

Widu13 - I've used the coleman cartridges (and GoSystem cartirdges) without and problems. Two suggestions that might help: 1. Make sure the locking ring is screwed up (i.e. towards towards the lantern and away from the camister) as possible so that it doesn't impede a tight seal between lantern...

Glad you've found the information useful and thanks for shipping in with information about the robustness of the mantles! Very useful information. Cheers! :You_Rock_

Ah, no worries, I'm not in the market for a knife right now! :beerchug:

Andrew Middleton? From Surrey? Methinks I might know you! ;-) PM sent...

I'm sure most of us have been through the different types of stoves on the market; gas, alcohol (various makes), multi-fuel and so on. Well in my case I ended up going full circle and returning to the gas stove that I bought quite a few years ago. This was largely due to the fact that I needed...

Pretty sure that is a male Migrant Hawker BR!

Some good food for thought here ... and I'm going to do just that! I'll reply soon :-) Cheers m'dears!

There's a good crop here too this year! They are still much greener than this though.
