17-70 sdm replacement
Given that many SDM repairs fail later on anyway I wouldn't have thought it worth having such a lens unless it's one of the ones that can be converted to screwdrive. I'm fairly sure my 17-70 was SDM only. It used to go to sleep and I could wake it up by turning the focus ring back and forth a few ti...

17-70 sdm replacement
I still have my 17-70. I only use it on manual focus now though as the hunting on autofocus just got ridiculous. I rarely use it because of that.

Cost of selling on eBay and Paypal fees
Ebay have got it stitched up really. I look for the 'sell for £1' promotions and my sales have always been fine. However, there is ample evidence that their system always favours the buyer in disputes. I sold a fabulous * 300mm in pristine condition last week. The buyer clearly had no understanding ...

Cost of selling on eBay and Paypal fees
You may have seen a guy selling a hardly used K1 recently for £450? His reason? He's had his use of it for his web site and had changed platforms. It was quite telling that nobody showed any interest in it at all. Buying at such prices, even if they are real, opens you up instantly to "handling stol...

Self Isolation - an Opportunity?
I'm personally confused as to what the issue with Coronavirus is. I doubt that I'll look to self-isolate at any point unless it's unequivocally confirmed by a medical professional that I must. Until then, I'll treat it as flu insofar as 'if I get it I'll avoid contact with others' with takes on 'don...

Self Isolation - an Opportunity?
There seems to be a presumption that self isolation means you can't leave home, but rightly or wrongly I interpret it as keep a good distance between yourself and others, and not touching anything that others might touch. So, I could wander around in an open space with my camera, and use my own ...

Self Isolation - an Opportunity?
But how do explain to your kids that they can't go out to play, or to join you on the beach if you are supposed to be self isolating? How do you plan on disinfecting all the surfaces you touch which someone else may touch? . Sad thing is, in my day you couldn't keep me in for wanting to go out and ...

Post holiday cleaning
Recently back from holiday which required factor 50 sun block and copious application of DEET. Inevitably some of this has transferred to my camera and lenses. Any recommendations on how to clean this off?

Medical issue solved at last
Many of you expressed concern and offered support when I mentioned the reason I have not been posting photos much of late was because of a hitherto undiagnosed health problem. This has dogged me since last summer. Well at the end of January after many 'oscopies; ultrasounds; x-rays;and scans, I ...

Glad you've got to the point where you can deal with it Peter - must be a relief to know what's going on! Like you say - dodge the virus, build yourself back up, and start shooting - all the best John :)

Glad you've got to the point where you can deal with it Peter - must be a relief to know what's going on! Much appreciated John. Yes the worst part was not knowing, and the tendency of many professionals to blame it on the IBS catch-all. In the end it was my dietician who suggested the specific te...

Trust the old pancreas is producing insulin normally? I had to go back to my brain cells and Biomedical training to recall that the pancreas is a pretty vital organ to keep everything running normally

Interesting! I'm becoming very paranoid over touching things! I ordered a book Masters of Street Photography as its a genre I struggle with so thought it'd be good to read up on. It arrived 2 days ago and it was left "as it came" in the conservatory as I read the virus should be dead by then. Obvio...
