Hi Steven,

Thanks for that, I used to get everything from Micro Direct, they're just up the road in Manchester. They've got the Icy Box IB-318StUS-B USB 2.0 / eSATA but no Firewire. It's looking like I may have to forgo the Firewire, I just thought it would be handy for copying from the Macs we use at work.

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace my external HDD by building my own. I'd prefer eSATA connection (SATA II) but would like eSATA, Firewire and USB2 for convenience, preferably with support for 2TB drives and good reliability.

I've seen the CIT 35M17SEF but it only supports up to 1.5TB, Novatech do a reasonably priced one but it has no Firewire connection. Any advice/recommendations much appreciated.

TIA,

John

I've been reliably informed that "Light goods, Peckett 0-4-0" is a Peckett number 1370 built 1915, also known as "May" now owned by Chris Beet.

Agreed some really nice images there. Sorry for the delay, it's silly season in work, I'm still looking for a better job and to ice the cake my PC in playing up

Well it's a hard act to follow but here's some of mine, apologies for any similarities:

BSA A10 or A65 I'm really not sure.

A really enjoyable day despite the weather, great to meet Alan, a real character

Hi Harley, Thanks for the offer, I see you're sorted with one already. TBH I think I may just keep the K10D, welcome to PU.

John

I'd second Mike's opinion, I had the Sigma 24-70/2.8, a fine lens but wanted something a little wider. I bought the DA 17-70 from a PU member and it hardly ever comes off the camera.

John

Hi John, welcome.

John

Tamron-F AF1.4x Pz-AF MC4 and Teleplus 1.5x Pz-AF SHQ, Teleplus Pz-AF 1.7x SHQ. The Teleplus may also come re-badged as Kenko, Promaster etc. The SHQ (Super High Quality) TC's are only available s/h AFAIK.

John

A very nice set Cliff, congratulations on the new lens.

John

Looks like one of the Falcon lenses.
