i dont want to be part of it and would like to know how to close my member ship down or could you do it for me thanks

I've had a look at your posts and cannot find anything that suggests people have been rude to you.

If you wanrt to close your membership I can deactivate your account, although I'm not sure what prompts you to need me to do that.

Alternatively, you can just watch for a while until you see for yourself that this is actually a very friendly site. You don't have to post replies if you don't want to, but you're welcome to do so should you wish.

No quote I'm afraid, just a blank box.

Perhaps somebody already had all the parts to repair it.

I keep them safe at home and, should a hood be needed, use a cheap ebay one that's dispensable.

What do you keep them at home for? They are the perfect hoods for the lens they came with and should be used all the time.

Genuine lens hood costs lots, ebay one costs little, therefore break cheapies and preserve genuine item for important jobs.

That and the lenses sell for more with an original hood.

I suppose where I don't agree with this is that if we are out making images, then I assume it's important. Otherwise, why bother? It is tempting to keep kid gloves on when using equipment, but it's designed to be used. I don't really buy it with a view to not using it and selling it again.

I have no idea to what you are referring, but in a general sense comments should be constructive, helpful and courteous. See the guidelines.

This is not the same as not liking something, but if that's the case explain why in a courteous, helpful and contructive way.

I have found the Met Office App for iPhone to be very useful. Forecasts for the next few days, plus weather and satellite maps.

Here's a sample image from last night's studio session. 10 photographers, many of them beginners, all trying out ideas and various props.

There seems to be lower resolution (the ability to record fine detail) in the Tamron image. To be sure though the Tamron shot needs lightening slightly.

A good qual;ity bag should need very little cleaning. I was in a cafe once and the waitress dropped a load of chicken curry onto my camera bag. It cleaned off with just a damp cloth and didn't even stain.
