This does hinge on how the flash was to be triggered.

An IR or radio transmitter in the hotshoe is best, setting the camera to manual and choosing the flash synch speed and appropriate aperture.

If using the built in flash care need to be taken that any pre-flash is disabled, otherwise the flash will go off on the pre-flash and the shutter will fire after the event.

DOF is all sensor size related.
Don't get in a tangle over this, but DOF has nothing directly to do with sensor size. The DOF of a lens remains the same regardless of what you put behind it.

At normal distances we observe the not quite accurate but real world situation that we are familiar with.

At closer and closer distances that breaks down and the essential factor is magnification.

However, let's not go there again so soon, would someone like to link to the previous thread on the subject of DOF?

If you want waterproof and easy access then there are small Billingham bags that are far quicker than messing about with Lowepro zipped bags.

Most bags are hinged the wrong way. The hinge for the lid is next to the body, which means two hands are needed - one to keep the flap open, one to extract the equipment.

A few bags are hinged so the they open away from the body, thus allowing free access without obstruction.

Billingham are hinged the wrong way, but because the flap is thin canvas it doesn't matter - two leather clips and you're in and equipment can be removed instantly.

Hadley pro is my favourite Billingham bag, with an extra insert to allow the camera to be placed lens down and keep it cradled so the weight is not resting on the lens. This also means gravity helps keep dust and debris away from the sensor, rather than falling on it.

I've moved this to General Chat as it isn't very specific yet as to what the OP wants to buy.

When you've decided, that's the time to start a Classified Ad.

That's one reason to confuse the serial numbers, but also I think many manufacturers conceal their production numbers by mixing up the serial numbers. The same number groups are often used for several different products.

I've removed a couple of posts - please don't start undermining people's sales with price data from other sources. If you want to tell a seller something relevant, then PM please.

Classified Ads are just for the selling/buying process, as per the guidelines.

I still don't see why correctly packaged batteries, as per the specification given, cannot be sent by post. It just tells us how to send them and how many can be sent.
