What a strange lens!!

Thanks Guys! I only knew All Around My Hat in the Irish ballad version (I was at the Dubliner's first big gig at the Gate Theatre in Dublin back in about 1964). Now I can add Steeleye Span to the list of stuff to look for in the Charity shops. Geoff

Long live Quo! I've seen them live a couple of times and always marvel at the way they sound on stage! That and the age mix in the crowd. I saw Steel Eye Span live on the Rocket Cottage tour back in the last century, I also saw Black Sabbath, Jasper Carrot, Nazareth... ...and I can still...

If anyone can, Canon can! LOL
Scary thought - 7Ds have magnesium chassis. :shock: Yeah, I think Citroen tried something similar back in the '30s until someone pointed out that magnesium suspension arms near a large tank of petrol might not be the best idea... I was surprised recently by the fact that the P30T has a titanium c...

SPAM is good for you!
lot's of Hawaiian dishes made with spam. Google Hawaii and spam for recipes! Personally I keep stuff like that as back up for camping emergencies. It's the one thing I know nobody around here will eat unless they have to.... so it's there when you need it. One fishing excursion with my uncle ...

The real reason Police want to treat photographers like terrorists.
The Police do have an alternate problem (which has been sighted at numerous riots here): Self-styled activist throws self on floor kicking and screaming, while colleague films this. Later on they'll edit the tape to show as "police brutality". This technique has been seen multiple times during th...

Experience with Laptop photo rucksacks
I can't comment on that back pack but some things to consider when buying one is the empty weight of it and whether it is carry-on legal (I assume you you will flying with it at some stage). The weight also factors in that as some airlines have a weight limit on carry-on as well as a size limit. ...

Experience with Laptop photo rucksacks
Depending on how large you want to go, I use a Tamrac Expedition 8X, which has an excellent strap setup. This is used occasionally due to it's size and can get very heavy when fully loaded, but is comfortable. It might be getting a lot more use now though as I will probably use it for the F*250-600,...

Experience with Laptop photo rucksacks
I have a Fastpack 200, too, and seriously considered the 250 when it was on offer a couple of weeks back as my daily 'pack. I ended up with a Fjällraven Briefcase which will get padding. For trips like the one tonight I use a Stealth Reporter 650AW. Laptop, PSU, Disks, enough lenses, AA charger, ...

Its Xmas day!
I'm just hoping to get my camera back before 2011. My son has just unwrapped all his presents and we are now settling down for a day of WWE on the tv thanks to my wife buying him the dvd for Christmas :(

New Section for Telescopes and Spoting Scopes here please. (Poll for interest)
I have voted "would not use it", although TBH perhaps a No would have been more apropriate. The thing that originally atracted me to this site was it`s focus on Pentax and photography. I think to add on more forum areas runs the danger of weakening the overall site; I can buy Pentax from SRS so w...

OK, I'll ask.
I would just love to go back to Afghanistan no matter what. It is one of the most fascinating countries I ever have been. Fat chance on that one now with my disability. Honest, I would like to have a week or two with a fellow photographer around the Highland's (you always work in twos if there may...

OK, I'll ask.
2010- lost friends too, but all my remaining family made it through. My travelling actually decreased. I was not happy with my photography most of the year - various niggles with the K20d, then what seemed like a long time without a camera before getting the K-5, and losing it again. Inspiration ...

TT - Believe me when I say I know the feeling. Please, don't give up.! Yes I also have lost many good friend in 2010 (maybe the reason why I want to go back to A. ? but I rather keep the memory than talking about it. I had many nights where I could not sleep and got out at 3am with the camera lo...

OK, I'll ask.
i have had a baby, having a huge effect on my photographic life as my career is on hold for the forseeable future i have also decided to end my fling with Nikon and move back to Pentax, because its a more viable option with a young one. In 2011 i aim to take more photos (i was pitifully bad a...
