ok great, thanks for all your input
-
I've just read the description further - it seems to be a bit tatty, broken eye cup, smells of smoke, and originally sourced from outside the EU (not sure what issue that causes) but I have other sources available so I will search further. Thanks for the link above, I will check it out

I do trust your opinion, that's why I asked. Thanks very much for the speedy reply, I appreciate it. Think I shall get the mk iii

ok, great, thanks. What about a 6D? I can get one with a shutter count of 32,000? My work is mainly hobby but I do shoot for stock - I don't do portraits

How do you rate this camera? My R6 is on it's way back to Canon and I'm guessing it will be there for some time (sigh). I've seen a 5d mk iii on sale for £699 (GBP) with a shutter count of approx 48,000. Seems like a fairly good option for a second/back up camera. I see that the mk ii isn't rated as highly (could pick one of those up for £449 with shutter count of 9430) Interested to hear your thoughts - thanks

Under exposure causing dust spots?
Jackie Matthews replied to Jackie Matthews's topic in Photo Gear & Equipment
I've posted these images to Kim too for her advice 1) sliders in acr showing a well exposed piece of paper taken with a macro lens f32 2) visualise spots in acr 3) a stamp visible layer created using the luminosity panel I use for spot/dust removal 4) a 100% crop of 3 above 5) a 100% crop of the image of 3 above The image here was taken with a different lens to the one initially found the issues with and this is after the sensor clean Any advice would be welcomed -
I've recently done a lot of landscape shooting and whilst editing the files, I noticed a lot of dust spots on the images so I sent my camera for cleaning. My husband collected the camera and the shop assistant said that the camera was actually already quite clean but he'd cleaned the sensor etc anyway. He did ask my husband if any of the images I was editing were underexposed as he thought that this could cause this issue, ie, dust spots on the images I've just taken some more shots this morning and whilst editing, I can see almost the same spots on the images as before. The file that I noticed it in was probably a little underexposed so I tried to find an image where the exposure was a little better and there seemed to be no spots visible in the images (I use a plug in by Greg Benz, he has a luminosity masking panel and this has a dust spot finder). Editing out the dust spots is very time consuming So I guess what I'm asking is, is it the underexposure causing the 'dust spots' on the images and if so, how? I've also asked Kim for her advice on her forum page but any input would be welcomed Thanks

I read a post on Damien's fb page where someone was after help with a slow pc (Specifically a mac) and in that thread I read that you no longer recommend Avast or Ccleaner, both of which I use. I also have Glary installed. I am using a laptop running windows 10 professional. What software do you recommend instead of the above now please?

It's a Lenovo legion gaming laptop. I have an NVIDIA control panel but there's nothing obvious in there
