Holden Monaros were sold in the USA, I think as Pontic GTOs. That trade stopped when the US motor industry went broke. Toranas were Vauxhauls in UK. I don't know whether it got the full range.

Nice photos, I'm a sucker for a good car show. I also loved the music too!

Some nice old cows, unusual ones you don't get here in Holland! And I saw a nice race horse too!

Hi greg, i am considering buying the 17mm 1.4 for my panny S1. Do you know if this lens covers full frame image circle?

Spectacular images! I used to live almost on the top of a hill, with a quarry edge along my north boundary, and Sydney's Darling Harbour about 8km away. Every year I went out, trying to get good fireworks shots and never really pleased with my efforts. One time, as the neighbours' shrubbery had become a bit wild, I managed to set up my tripod on the top of my A-frame ladder to gain some elevation, which solved one problem, but not that of getting pretty malnourished shots. Now I am well out of Sydney; perhaps I should go to the park where fireworks are held about 15 minutes' drive away and see if I can put your suggestions into practice. Useful advice! Thanks, Greg.

I have the same lens and I would like to do the same mod. Have you done a video on actually doing the mod or can you explain in more detail how you did it. TIA, Simon

Hi Greg, well I have never seen such photos of fireworks. A true testament to your expertise and skill and the shots are absolutely stunning and brilliant. Well done, the colors and perspective are spot on in all respects. Thanks again for all you share with us here on the channel. I must say, every time I watch, I learn.

What a great creative idea, really nice images 👍

This is a super creative way to shoot fireworks! Very well done & great shots!

I've got a Vanguard tripod and a KentFaith tripod that both have a centre column that can be use horizontally like the Neewer. The Vanguard even can be adjusted at various angles. Both were also quite affordable. Can't put anything on the other end of the stick however, like you demonstrated with the Neewer! The drawback I found, however, is that it seems the whole centre column becomes less stable and more wobbly. Not nice if you're trying to do a very precise setup for a macro shot. 😬

Perhaps you should record into something in your pocket, voice recorder or phone, and match recordings later. For more money and less forgetting to start recording, wireless to a receiver on camera, leave transmitter running.

Wow… that is some serious value for money!

I'm still lugging a big old Manfrotto alloy model. I rarely use it or take it out as it's so annoyingly big and heavy. The travel one is a good option. Hmmm

G'day Greg, Thank you for a practical & straight forward review. I bought this lens together with TT Artisan stick on focus tab. I like the built quality and decent image. None of your pictures have vignetting. I experienced vignetting at F2 and F2.8... much less at F5.6 and very little at F8. I suppose I must have got a unit that's not properly calibrated. Overall, I am eased with the lens. Great value, I must say. Cheers

Ouchie! Great vid Greg. Intrigued by the XT series. (PS, My wood splitting tendon injury took eleven months to fully mend itself. Got a splitty now, saving a fortune and my lungs). Mend well, love your work✌️🇦🇺

That's a great timelapse at the end!

Those shots look absolutely awesome

I'm not surprised. If you wanted, you could probably edit them out of the video. I have seen headlights and brakelights before. The lights might be better in fog. You could spend the week there honing your light painting skills. Going to the top and making like you're fishing using a handline, and a robust torch would be interesting.

I'm a fan, and appreciate these. The red tower and the lit steps are fantastic. However, it might be time to trim the eyebrows...I only notice my own if I have my readers on while washing up...then I'm surprised...

Thx for your video. Have you ever considered the panasonic s1? Its cheaper then the x-e4 has a nicer screen ( a bit larger, higher res, good viewing angles, flipable for vertical portraits, and has auto brightness adjustment for lcd (havent seen that on other mirrorless), the evf is also way better then the one on the x-e4. Also i like the b&w mode for better visibility of peaking and the you can switch between full screen magnification and part of the scresn (picture in picture) i realy like it for my nikon f and m42 lenses!

If one knew nothing about the brands, anyone doing an honest comparison would probably prefer the Canon P over the Leica M3. That’s not to take away from the Leica of course, but the P really has some superior features that make it better.

Sound quality on the last two videos has been absolutely excellent… Great work Greg

front button focus! who knew? thank you so much for the tip and my thumb thanks you to ... a grateful Canadian

Fuji obviously focussed the X-M5 towards video. Hopefully they will release a parallel version (like the X-H2 series did) which is photo-centric. That is, by adding IBIS, replacing the flippy-swivel screen with a tilt screen, and removing the fan attachment (which is not possible on a tilt screen anyway). Upping the screen resolution would also be nice, but I understand they are building the X-M5 to a price point. I'm on the fence wrt the film sim' dial, and would have preferred a d-pad to the joystick (the d-pad giving 4 extra function buttons ). For the moment, I'll put up with the limitations of the X-M1 for street photography.

I just worry about center of balance, when I was just 2 weeks into ownership of a stock Ninebot Max G30p I had an accident. This happened at a very slow speed as I was passing a person with ear buds who had not acknowledged me. The problem was that I was pulling back on the handlebars while in a slight squating position. I then hit just the slightest bump and the front wheel was in the air in an instant while the rear wheel shot underneath me. After trying to then run behind the scooter I had to literally throw the scooter away off the bike path. It was dragging my right foot on the pavement in an outward facing ankle sprain that then forced me into an almost 3 point drop. I was in this squating postion to absorb bumps etc but won't be using this position again, I think I may have also hit the accelerator. In future I shut off the cruise control thinking I may have popped the front wheel at only 8 mph but I wasn't able to instanly shut it off and this may have caused or added to the accident. My ankle was crazy swollen and now 7 weeks later I am just now getting back to normal.

Good-Day...eh!!! From Canada, Love the spirit of your video. I just orderd the Monorim V5 after first installing the Ulip rear suspension with extra large brakelight and signal lights. For some reason the Signal & Brake lights conflicted with the Ninebot but when I then added another Ulip brand set of signal lights, it all worked as needed including the brake light. This was with the new Signal/Mode selector, the selector that came with the suspension would cause all lights to stop working unlessthe headlamp was turned on. Anyway how did this unit work out with an added rear suspension. I had a wipeout (and now keep Cruise Control OFF) and needless to say can now feel every bump/crack in the roads. The rear Ulip suspension has helped but I think the added front Monorim V5 will really smooth things out

Thank you so much for this! I'm a student in NSW looking for affordable cameras to use for my major art work. This was incredible. Thank you <3

Great photos. I’m seriously considering one. I already got the Sigma 30mm and 56mm f1.4 for my a6400. This one is 25mm (~35mm fullframe) and it’s manual which could be great for zone/range focusing (street photography).

Those black-and-white photo edits look absolutely awesome Greg 👌

ridiculous

No.

According to Gary GGough, he always takes the same photo.

you live in a black an white world. I don't

I unsubscribed from Alax because he offended my sense of ethics. Someone whose name I forget conducted a photoshoot of Marylyn Munroe. There were some photos Marylin didn't want used, but the photographer used them anyway. Alex thought that was OK. Andy Gibb is na former International Landscape Photographer of the Year, so he's up there with Christian Fletcher, Luke Austin and Tony Hewitt. Of those, only CF is active on YT, but he's a bit erratic.

Speed of movement depends on the field of view of the lens.

I point my camera at something, and <click>. Often I don't focus. so-called composition is an art, not a technical requirement. I frame what looks good and suits my intent. "rule of thirds" is nonsense, I have trained myself to disregard it. Camera stability is an artistic choice. Sometimes I hold it stable, sometimes I move it wildly. I like zoom lenses, I can zoom them during exposure. I like to spin the lens during exposure. Since I was diagnosed with AML Leukaemia, my usual go out and shoot kit is an OM Systems OM-5 with 12-45 F4. Not a bag unless I need it for other reasons. Some things I don't renege on. Technically correct exposure. I can, and do, play with it later. Unless I want Dutch tilt or vertically-tapering buildings, the camera must be level side to side AND front to back. Decisions must be seen to be deliberate.

I have the 18-135 plus a very squeaky prime for my X-T10. I have some Fujinon MF lenses.

It's a crying shame there's no filter thread. There's easily space for it.

Exciting hunt, isn't it? I recall my first experience (northern hemisphere) with the aurora ... very hazy, more emotional than spectacular. I got to try and work and trust in my camera; it enhances the eye. Btw - I prefer the "taking pictures" videos on your channel. Because I can enjoy and learn more. Thank you for sharing.

Consumerism and "gear acquisition syndrome" seem to rule the RUclips roost. All a bit sad really and maybe one day all those folk will realise the next "must have" with its minimal upgrades won't make them better photographers nor will it make them happier. Poorer, yes, but happier, no. Really enjoying your photography content 👏

Really enjoy your content. This one was very good, thank you!!

I had an XA1 and found that the refresh rate of the screen was pretty bad compared to the X70. How does the XM1 compare?

I was thinking today of getting this for my X-M1, but that body doesn't have the easiest to see focus assist like the high red most of us use on later models. An advantage on the X-M1 one in video, is being manual, it won't hunt for focus like it the camera does in auto. It's not a video camera in auto. Switch to manual focus no matter what in video mode. You think some teflon spray would quiet the lens cap?

Thanks bro

Thanks for putting your intentions in the first 10 seconds. You saved me some time, so I'll spend a bit of it giving you a comment for your trouble (cuz I don't want to watch a video on the S9, from someone who doesn't have it/won't touch it).

For once the laying appears to be beneficial and reversed to expectations: they last much longer than Fuji specifies. Awesome review thanks mate!

S9 makes no sense, small body but you are locked into large lenses or the next to useless pancake lens.

If I saw correctly you mentioned the S9 JPEGS are 12 megapixels, even when the sensor is 24 MP. This is not correct if I understood correctly- the S9 can capture 24 MP shots. That said, I would pick the Fuji for being small and I look at it as a street photography camera (I don't normally do video at all).

Great discussion point mate. I've just finished reviewing the XM5 and agree that the low res screen is one of the biggest fails in this design. G

❤ if !? ..sony a7c vs Fuji x-m5 😅 for next time thanks
