I've dealt with Bristol Cameras several times and all OK, can also vouch for SRS in Watford and Clifton Cameras in Dursley.

Further to the above posting, this is an old, looks like wartime tow truck in a bramble just off the A38 in Cornwall

Thanks Derek,

I'm surprised you were as far away as that, was expecting you to have been 3 to 4 inches

Wow, superb, were these hand held and have you cropped them ?

It is about the updated Firmware, if you click on the red text, it'll take you straight there.

The list of kit is the OP's email signature, similar to mine

Thanks all, it's a superb venue for a natural light shoot with 18 huge windows over 2 large rooms.

There is also loads of sockets for studio lights and plenty of kit provided to use, overall both Em and The Natural Light Space come highly recommended.

Try a hand over the screen or just turn away from the direct sunlight, F2.8 will give you minimum DOF not maximium.

A natural density filter is a good way to reduce ghetto shutter speed in order to get to the flash sync speed when they are as low as they are with our kit, An alternative is a circular polariser.

You don't mention where you purchased the lens, to a degree it doesn't matter, I would if it was mine, return it, as it potentially isn't as described, if you picked it up from a retailer, did they give you a short warranty, if its from Ebay, go through their procedures.

If it was really really cheap, I might not bother with the hassle.
