Hi all have found a reasonably price Samyany 14 mmm lens, for sale in Park cameras Burgess hill sussex.now my question is has any body ever purchased a item from these people ?Just need to know how reliable they are.

Yes i have never known so many retailers to be out of stock of most things,i buy most of my bits Harrison telescopes they do not have a ot in stock at all

Yep funny you say that i ordered the rokinon,inow find it is out of stock and may not be returning,waiting on money back and start over again>The Samyang on amazon has risen in price,might have a look on the second hand market in UK

I have experimented with camera on 10X zoom focused on light few hundred yards away,but the photo come out normal size what am i doing wrong ? Ok i think i have worked this ouit the zoom is just a assist so you can focus and does not alter the lens at all. Have ordered the rokinon lens arrives Jan7 to Jan14.I do own a telescope i have a Skywatcher 150p

ok guys thank you for info,Why out of interest did some of you choose SamYang instead of Rokinon,ok they say they are the same item just diff names.The rokinon i find is £40 cheaper.Amazon UK £302 Samyang £359

Last bit for tonight before i get in trouble.Had good look round My 40D and yes it isa zoomable X5 and X10.just need rccomended isp and shutter speed.would 30 seconds be to long ?

The 40D has live vbiew which i use

Zoom in X10 the rokinon wide angle lens s non zoomable,and manual only ,Camera is old but adequote Canon EOS 40D

Hello every body and merry christmes to you all.Ok i am going to purchase a Rokinon 14mm F2.8 lens.now i know this lens is manual only what i am not sure on is my camera settings on my Canon.Can some advise mo the ideal ISO ans shutter speeds please,i have never used a wide angle lens before.

Hi all yes i do not understand my camera fo sure,my previous hobby was making tall ships out of wood but als it turned into a to expensive hobby.i have a interest in the sky for a long time and decided to have a go,i bought mt Skywatcher 150 of harrison telescopes and the camers 40D second handfrom a online camera shop.All my photos previosly have been with a compact point and shoot,this is a new ballpark for and a bit confusing lol.I am sure i will get there in the end .just need some decent weather

Hi thanks for info must admit i am a bit lost and confused on exposure simulations,it is some thing i have not heard of before.I have googled this but they seem to explain something as if you allready understood it in part,my camera knowledge is zero in manual mode.Still wondering if i put the focusing think back in correctly i cant seem to focus at all now.lol i really do need the muppets guide for this.

Thanks for that i googled and got it back in,bought scope in as weather closed in.Tried using camera on M with a 8 tl 55 lens on live view,nothing appearded on screen assumingii have done job correct and not made things worse.

Not sure what that part is i now find camera only works on auto,trying to focus on M and live view does not work now that bit has fell out of camera.

Hi i have got bigger probs now tok cap of camera and a plastic bit fell out in photo enclosed think it might be game over for the 40D.Being a 76 year old pensioner i will be looking on the used canon market for some thing ,i assume most will work on scope

Hello toxic so basically what you are saying is the aperture is governed by the scope,no matter what i set camera on,is that correct ?
