I have an old Zenit fish-eye lens. Haven't used it in ages as the novelty soon wears off! Can't bear to part with it "just in case..."

Better than that Remote Assistant supports the K10D!!!!

Works in RAW!

Black is the new Silver.

For a battery charger I'd recommend the ansmann energy 8, slower than a quick charger but the batteries seem hold their charge longer.

Don,

Thanks for the heads-up. It would be mainly used to browse the internet whilst sitting in my garden and other remote locations, so a macbook should suffice.


Or I could use my money to but one of the new DA * lenses.....................................................................................................

When asked by colleagues at work, I usually recommend them to buy the fastest processor they can afford, the most memory they can afford and the largest hard drive(s) they can afford, as you can never have too little of any of those things!

However I have been looking to buy a laptop, and am finding myself persuaded by Don's support for macs.

Ah ha! That reminded me (I have a bad memory!) A couple of years ago at the company I was working for we had a laptop develop weird patterns across the screen. It was under warranty, so called up the Dell Helldesk and they were actually very helpful. We went through running a set of diagnostics tools which showed up a faulty memory chip. Engineer turned up with replacement chip, fault fixed.

Now of course that may not be the fault in these cases, but worth looking into. See if the PC or motherboard manufacturer has a set of harware diagnostic tools available (usually on their website).

EDIT:

I wonder if the computers in these cases share part of the system RAM with on-board graphics chips, or have seperate video cards?

Do the stripes appear on prints?

George,

Did you resolve this problem?
