Hi Jacqui

If you have bought it privately, unfortunately you have absolutely no rights to force the seller to refund, repair, replace or anything else. Your only hope is that the seller shows some goodwill.

Sorry if this is bad news, but that is the legal position.

A beautiful shot Kris, that lens works well in your hands.

Try cleaning the contacts on the lens and the lens mount with isopropyl alcohol.

Hi Cedric

I think there is something wrong with your laptop if it is shutting down when copying files - it should not do this. I'm not sure how you can copy from a SD card to just a hard drive - you need a computer of some sort, or a media tablet (Apple ipad or any make of Andorid powered tablet).

Better still, get someone to sort out your laptop - it really is the easiest way to copy your files. Are you anywhere near to Sheffield? I would be happy to help you.

David

I think you may have started something here Shaun.

Hi Cedric

You will need to let us know what equipment you have so that we can advise the best option. Normally you would connect your hard drive to a computer and insert your media card into the slot on your computer. You can then copy directly to your hard drive.

Hi f248, another warm welcome from me. Your big cat pictures are excellent, I look forward to seeing more of your shots.

Brilliant macro.

Not necessarily my cup of tea Shaun, but there's some very striking and unusual images in there. I particularly like the one of the 'ghost' little girl dancing in front of the crescent of old buildings.

Some absolute stunners in this set of pictures, thanks for pointing us towards it Shaun.
