I have one of Naneu's 'Urban Gear' backpacks. It fits all of my gear, comes with velcro tabbed padded dividers, has a tripod carrier on the side, and has room for a notebook PC as well.

They have a good range of other bags too.

Has anyone heard from him 'off-line', via PM for eg?

Graham,

I can't vouch for the 12-24 for want of personal experience. However the 50-135 is excellent, as are the FA31, DA 40 and DA 70 primes.

Well done Kris - very timely too seeing the discussions about the virtues of this and other lenses with roughly equivalent focal lengths.

What works for me firstly is that the set looks superb in BW - there really was no other way to portray these images. Secondly, to repeat David's words - keenly observed. It's the "little", human aspects of daily life that you've picked up on so acutely and so well.

As for the 16-45, it is also my walk-about lens. It was my first non-kit lens, and still perhaps the most versatile.

Go onto one of the photo-sharing sites that use databases to sort their images by camera and by lens, and do a search on that lens. Have a look at what can be achieved with it in the real world of taking pictures. Do the same for any other lenses that interest you. I know pbase use such a system, and while it is not perfect, it's a place to start.

Should be able to turn off the feature in BIOS that tells the PC there is a floppy drive in the system or not. That way, it will never waste time searching for it, at boot-up or any other point.

Mike,

As I recall, Colt had a Peacemaker model?

Martin - The pacifier would be a child's dummy.

Although, pacifier and peace have such lop-sided connotations - witness Pax Romana (cue Womble, stage right ) et al...
