Camera care systems bags for sale.

These are all like new, stored but not used.
Outstanding levels of protection from mechanical and water damage, plus immediate equipment accessibility. This hard-wearing range is ideal for extreme outdoor conditions. Only reason I am selling them is that I have too many and these have not found a use, yet. Really the wife is complaining that I have too much stuff I don't use.
The dimensions are taken from the CCS website, http://www.ccscentre.co.uk/ , and are the internal
size. They are also on the conservative side. Item numbers listed below are the items on the CCS
website.

1. CCS professional series lens pouch No.1 (Item 280) £10.00 + post
Size 110 x 115 deep.
Features:
• Shoulder strap attachment points
• Belt loops on the front
• Lid that opens away from the body allowing easy access
• Drawstring closure ensures extra protection for your lens

lid for small items, two Velcro dividers. Removable shoulder strap and belt loop on back. Grab handle

6. CCS Snowflake SLR pouch £10-00 + post
Similar size to large Tusker (item 164) but the lid is an unpadded nylon sheet instead of the padded flap.
CCS used to supply British Antarctic Survey and these were designed to protect cameras in blizzard
conditions by stopping snow from getting inside, under the lid. Usual belt loop and shoulder strap
attachments. Elastic on lid could do with replacing if going out in a blizzard. Would be an easy job to
replace.

6. CCS Video bag £15 + post
Designed for big old video cameras but will offer great protection for long lenses (the lens in the picture
is a sigma 150-500 with the lens hood attached. Lots of protection for a long lens.
Internal size 310 x 150 x 100. Internal padding can be removed to add 20mm to each of the
dimensions. Belt loop and shoulder strap with large padded section. Three pockets, one small zipped
and two expanding side pockets closed by velcro.

Obviously, only the bags are for sale, lenses are to give an idea of scale. Please ask if you have any questions. Collection from West Berkshire possible. Post at cost.

How about Silbury Hill, West Kennet Long Barrow. Both near to Avebury.

Marlborough itself has lots of old buildings. It also has lots of interesting people for 'street' photography.

Savenake Forest and West Woods are worth a visit for a bit of natural colour. The local downs have a lot to interest the landscape photographer.

Crofton Beam engines are not far away, unfortunately closed for the winter now. Used to keep the highest part of the Kennet and Avon canal wet when it opened in 1809. The canal itself has interest, lots of locks and other interesting buildings.

Of course the difference between your Sigma 18-300mm and a 50mm is not just the focal length/field of view, there is also a big difference in the maximum aperture available. E.G. f3.5-4 on the zoom, f1.4 or f1.7 for the 50mm prime. Large maximum apertures are really useful to get shorter depth of focus.

The 35mm will give a similar field of view, on APS-C, to the 50mm on film but if you want to have a short depth of focus the 50mm will still do a better job. Might just have to back up a bit to fit the subject in!

My 50-135 has the SDM problem and the problem is that it won't focus at all.
Manual focus works ok but the auto focus does not move at all. There is no hunting for focus and I understand that this is the usual failure.
Basically I use it as a manual focus lens with no problems and have not got around to converting to screw drive, intend to take the plunge but have not go around to it yet.

Sounds like you have a different problem to the usual SDM failure, if the lens focus is moving and trying to focus. Might need to be seen by the menders.
