I had a temporary job in the summer driving the imported cars of the ships.

Mainly driving VAG cars and the build quality between VW and Skoda is amazing, the finish is massively cheaper in the Skoda than VW cars, much like the difference between VW and Audi...

Must be one of the few to have had that happened....

I took my grip to bits when I first ordered it and taped all the connections and cables up inside, there aren't many.

Certainly nothing to short out in there.

I intend to use the teleconvertor for soundboard shoots in arenas where the 100-300mm is just a little loose and short.

This shot was a crop, originally landscape but preferred the portrait look so cropped it literally top to bottom.

Shot in Av mode ISO 1600 to compensate the slow aperture but still only around 1/250 shutter speed.

Unpaid shoots hmmm all my shoots are unpaid lol, except for my club work and wedding work, I make cash through licensing the gig images, the joys of being a freelance. Have hit a bit of a creative block recently so going to do some fashion work in e next few weeks and give the gig work a break this month. Think the summer festivals this year has been long and wet and a little draining creatively. Will hopefully find my spark again next month

Think it might be spot on actually and maybe a little motion blur...

Took the dog to the sea tonight just before dusk to give the new teleconverter I bough of Mike from from this forum a quick run through.

Really pleased with it, might need a little AF adjustment but really love the af speed of the teleconverter.

Never given the speed of LR much thought until this thread. Just set the cache to 20gig on a seperate hard drive and now its much faster It was only set to 1gig

Cheers cabstar
No worries

VHS v beta had nothing to do with marketing, it was down the VCR / tv rental companies choosing VHS first for rental after v2000.

Betamax / beta cord sold more machine domestically but the rental market was bigger hence its downfall...
