I don't know what this means. It seems insulting to me. Why?
No No No Mate, its the sound of the spelling police arriving is all, sorry if you thought it was aimed at you Pal.[/quote]Quite true, no one was poking fun at you Chris, you'll get used to the idiosyncrasies of this forum eventually.

Now have I spelled idiosyncrasies correctly or will the spelling police be back

Tried Salisbury camera club. I was the youngest one there and I left because the two old fogey's who ran it didn't like me very much
Most camera clubs are friendly places where older members will go out of their way to encourage newer or younger members, it's sad to hear of someone who has a bad experience, I personally would have stuck it out just to annoy the old fogeys

So am I to take it that the lock SHOULD stop the autofocus..?
Like John, I don't know Mine doesn't so maybe it does depend on the wear on the clamp, maybe mine is worn, maybe your mates is faulty, I'd be interested to hear from anyone else that has one.

Your prices are probably about right if you buy from a dealer, privately I would think you could pick one up for around £200-£250

PS It is a superb bit of glass, my avatar was shot with mine (bigger pic in my portfolio)

Images posted into a forum thread have to be hosted elsewhere and then linked to in a specifi way that then display the image on the forum page, you can find out how to do it in a "sticky" at the top of the your photos section.

"Sticky" is a term used for a forum thread/topic that stays at the top of a page where it can be easily found.

What you describe is quite normal and locking the clamp does not stop the camera from continuing to autofocus the lens, at least on mine, maybe this can vary depending on the wear of the Clamp: which is there simply to prevent barrel creep if the lens is pointed up or down.

The only restriction on posting images for "non-members" is the number you can post in the gallery per day, there is no restriction on how many you can include in forum posts in the "your photos" section, although people are far more likely to offer opinions on one or two images as opposed to five or six.

It is a good idea to ask for C&C in the forum before deciding if the image is good enough to upload to your gallery (assuming you need the C&C)

Just had a thought, perhaps the Mayans were reffering to this thread and its going to end on page 212012
