So I will take you ON for the spots and dots! LOL
I'm trying to get mine cleaned!
I've found some sensor cleaning swabs on ebay, but I'm not sure about using them. Can't afford an Arctic Butterfly yet and to be honest, some of mine look more like smears, so maybe an impregnated swab would be best...just don't want to scratch it

That's a real shame. What will happen to the history?

Well, my new lens arrived today and I've got to admit, I'm like a kid on Christmas morning

Can't wait to get out and take some shots.

Thanks Bob!!!!!!!!!

So, do you get the framing right in the view finder, or crop it later?

I ask, because if you get the framing right, with aircraft at those speeds, then I'm impressed!

The state my sensor is in at the moment, any shot I take could be an entry

Manfrotto 055 is ideal. Not sure of the price including head but I'll guess at £100 - £125 or so?

I've avoided using tripods for years, but I'm a bit of a late convert to them!
See my previous post about hiding a £50 lens.

I definitely will. I'm very inspired by the macro of the hard disk.

It must be a sturdy tripod though, not a flimsy plastic one.
Would like an expensive Manfrotto or something similar, but that isn't going to happen any day soon

I'm hoping to point the Mrs in the direction af a good second hand one on fleabay.

If that doesn't work, I'll get one myself via the same route
