"Photography Teachers?" Revisited
I was self taught, running a photography business, switching from film to digital when I chose to go to college to study photography. My teacher was great, working pro and teacher. Learned alot from him. Why would I scale back my workload to go to school? Because I realized that everything ...

macro tube extenders
My lens is a sigma 18-50mm(f3.5 - 4.5). If that lens doesn't have an aperture ring, you won't be able to use it with extension tubes that don't have electrical contacts. I suggest anyway getting a second-hand manual-focus 50, 90 or 100mm prime (non zoom) lens off eBay.

Anyone got a Trekpod?
If so what do you think of it - both as a hiking pole and a monopod. We are going back to La Palma at the end of February and are intending to do some walking while there. Normally I would take my hiking poles and my tripod but luggage restrictions prevent me taking both. I'd rather take the pole...

Anyone got a Trekpod?
I have a Gitzo 1560 MonoTrek which doubles as a hiking pole which I bought back in about 2002. As a pole it is not the most ergonomic - but for gentle walking it is fine. The hardened tip is fine and cameras mount easily with a cover for the small ball head. It may be problematic with very h...

photo vest recommendations?
Just remember if you have easy access so do others. I had a zip pocket undone in Amsterdam and never felt a thing. I use a Lowepro that zips against my back so the only way in to my kit is when it`s off my back. Cedric

Here's hoping that somebody gets your kit back to you Darkmunk.:( The only line open now is household insurance, should the kit remain lost! I'd be checking my policy right now if it was me...:?

Wow, I can't imagine how bad you are feeling right now - don't give up hope though, a friend of mine has done exactly the same thing TWICE, and got his kit back intact on both occasions - there are still honest folk out there. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you

What a nightmare. Fingers crossed you can get it all back intact. Thankfully the honest are still in the majority. You don't know the name of the father who was there so that you can give him a call? Maybe someone else from school can get you in touch with him? Check your home contents insurance...

I am so sorry you lost all your kit, hope you get it back soon. I am now writing all my serial numbers down and writing my name and address in my camera bag. James

Really bad luck Mark. Fingers crossed you get your kit back. As to those of us who have got the wake up call, maybe this sort of device could be what we all need? (not this exact model perhaps)

Thanks for all your messages folks. I'll wade through all the paperwork and see if there's any hope there. The police finally phoned back and said,'we've been closed since yesterday evening so if it was found nobody would have been able to drop it in etc. ... Come in on Monday' :roll: If I do ...

It might help if you put a card in the shop window of local newsagents. List what is lost and where, offer a reward. I really hope that you get them back.

Mark, Ouch. :x There but for the grace of God... Maybe also try a lost and found ad (with a reward as an incentive) in a local paper? Additionally, are there any forum members local to you, that may be able to help you out with 'bits and pieces' to get you by until you get your own kit bac...
