If you look on Amazon, you can also read the user feedback on many models.

Recently, manufacturers have concentrated on appearance

I don't care who designed it (styled it) it is what is inside the casing that matters

I am not totally convinced by your crop.

Presumably there is a ship somewhere in the original photo :

These container cranes are interesting bits of kit and IMHO I think the photograph would be better if it told the complete story - i.e. containers moving from ship to shore.

You need to sell some of your long lenses

I use a Verbatim 2tb drive.

It is designed as a RAID system - 2 x mirrored 1tb but you can use it as a straight 2tb.

Main advantage is that it has a large built in fan.

Most external hard drives do not have fans and get very hot.

I did have a Seagate 1tb drive but had to send it back because of the dreaded 'click of death'

I have used UPS from the States to UK for something heavier than 2kg.

Cost was possibly circa £60.

The Pentax one is very well made, fits easily, never comes off and as said by others makes the dioptre adjustment very easy to operate.

An excellent article from prsjnb.

My first macro lens was a Sigma 105.

I then bought a Pentax 35 macro for those occasions where I could not get far enough away from the subject matter using the 105.

This tends to occur when shooting indoors.

I have three of them - excellent

Buying from SRS works out slightly cheaper

I used to shoot video using an almost pro grade Sony Video 8 system.

But I have not taken any for more than 10 years.

I think the novelty of moving pictures wore off.
