ANY Tull album should be in that list. In fact. Might have to put mine back in the car. Mrs Ted won't let me listen to them when she's around :D:D:D I've got one just like her:(

Anybody any experience of Simply Electronics?
I just purchased a 21 & 70 ltd from them, the goods arrived on time, no extra charges, saved a lot of cash and they handled the cash back, and that was in my bank in 10 day. My experience was OK. Jim

Anybody any experience of Simply Electronics?
I've not had good experience with them. I tried buying a Tokina 16-50mm f/2.8 lens from them a while back. When it turned out that the lens was not in stock (the website said it was) it took them over 2 weeks before I was refunded for the purchase. In fact, as I had paid using Google Checkout I even...

Any Large Format Users?
Not that unexpected as that tree is just out front of where I live! In general, however, the Horseman is not the most portable of set-ups. The "Titan" tripod alone weighs a tonne. The Shetland pony shot was taken about 20 minutes after shot for which I had left the camera on the tripod and popped...

Blimey, Kris. You could do it back then too! Long before my time. They're wonderful. All of them. And what amazing weather. The window is the sort of thing that I try to do. Regards, A.

Pentax Long Term Value
Back to the original post for a moment. When Canon took the decision to make the EOS mount incompatible with the older FD lenses that was it as far as long term value was concerned for their older bodies and lenses. Same thing for Minolta and their change from the MC/MD mount to their A series mo...

what is your AF history?
My K10D was (and is) my only AF SLR - everything prior to that had been manual focus. My first AF camera (non SLR) was my Leica Minilux, followed by several AF digital compacts.

what is your AF history?
Z1 was the only auto focus film camera I ever had. Moved to the ist DS when I went digital at the end of 2005 and then on to the K10 three years ago. david

Jessops
I was in Jessops a few weeks ago when I was looking to buy a tripod. They had a few sets of tripod legs on display so I wandered over to have a look. No sooner had I picked one up (Manfrotto XPRO190B which I had been considering) than a sales assistant came over declaring that a particular Velbon...

Jessops
Was in a large Jessops in a city. I went in as I wanted to try out a D700. Seriously been considering getting one of these. The store was actually quiete large, the assistant who was very knowledgable I had a reasonable discussion with. Do you have the D700 No, unfortunately we don't stock ...

Jessops
I really wanted to handle one as they cost £1700 I suppose this is like buying a new TV, you want to see one working first:D Having said that I bought my istd at Focus, didn't bother to handle it, I bought both my K10&20D fro SRS by post, never handled either. The good thing about Pentax camer...

Lets talk about AF speed
I don`t think that this question will ever be resolved satisfactorily as there are so many variables as to make it virtually impossible to draw conclusive comparisons. I tried AF on a car ralley and got consistently sharp series of shots of cars using my K7 and 50-135DA* in a forest with fading sun...

Lets talk about AF speed
I did a local marathon a while back and took the K10D and DA* 60-250mm and have to say the AF was absolutely terrible. The K10D just could not focus on any of the runners coming towards me. On the other hand I get a reasonable amount of keepers on anything going past but I normally use the Sigma 70-...

Lets talk about AF speed
I recall a comparison in a pro camera mag between a full frame Canon and Nikon, the subject was a boy running towards the Camera. They took 100 shots with each Camera, The Canon had 18 perfectly pin sharp images the Nikon none! Regards - Pete What model Nikon and Canon were the cameras Pete? Yo...
