But it doesn't show...

By the way, why's she in a band called "Never the Bride"?

I think if someone needed to have it round their neck all the time, there's something seriously wrong with the way they're changing lenses.

I use mine every other week or so. Not sure if it's a large one or not, it's about the size of a lemon, but does the job no bother. I squash it down and it easily fits in my bag.

I think you'll find that they're essential for stability in flight.

Totally agree with Chris. Although it was difficult judging, I enjoyed it, and it made me really look at the entries. I tried to say something positive about all of them, or at least make a constructive comment.

And I started my notes well before the closing date, so that I didn't have loads to do on the monday.

Galoot was a little more brief than I was (and he went against the agreement we'd negotiated the week before ), but he still commented on each and it was valuable - I looked at my own entry again and thought "oh yeah, there's a bright blob at the top".

So I say keep it as it is.

Older ones have already been teflon coated.

O-ME53 is about £30 - http://www.parkcameras.com/ProductDetails/mcs/ProductID/6511/GroupID/6/CategoryI...

Someone here bought one before, but can't remember who...

Dan

Obviously got no idea how good a store it is, but I was just googling australian camera shops and found this:

http://www.camerastore.com.au/Tamron+SP+AF90mm+F%2F2.8+Di+Macro+Pentax+Mount-details.htm

Works out at £264, which is cheaper than in the UK.

Wow, that's a big difference! I looked on www.warehouseexpress.com .
