Hi ePhotozine community!

If you havent heard of us or you just know we buy and sell used camera gear then I'd like to give you all a little intro and a basic 'why we're here posting' if I may

We first set up MPB.com in Brighton, UK to transform the way that people buy, sell and trade-in photo and video kit. Now we’re aiming to be more than that: an online destination for everyone, whether you've just discovered your passion for visual storytelling or you’re already a pro.

So, to help the community here of photographers and videographers along in their journey, we’ve created guides, tips, tricks and assembled helpful lots of other information so that knowledge is something always at hand.

In this thread, I’ve share a collection of links to those guides so that everyone here has easy access to them in one place. If any of our guides help you then we’d love to hear about it! Discussions are more than welcome so let us know by replying to this thread.

The first set of guides that I’d like to share covers the basics—I hope they will be found useful:

Although I've bought from MPB I'd not seen the guides. Thanks for the post, my Grandson is enjoying his kit we got from you and I'm sure your guides will help too.
