I've just received the cover. If they ever come back to ebay I recommend it to you all. The photo's don't do it justice at all. I'll do some better ones of it, and show you later.

Hi,

That's handy,

the seller of that remote is "no longer a registered member of Ebay".

I have no idea why, as he received feedback even today??

I've ordered a waterproof cover off them, which I'm waiting to find out if I'll still get. I'm hoping that it's just some technical error.

Oh well, I may have to get my money back off of Paypal at some point. Anyone had experience of this? Is it a simple case of emailing them?

I'll give it a week and see what happens.

Cheers
Liam

Hi,

I just measured it at 900mm, which is fine for my needs at the moment, just to eliminate camera shake on macro photography, but if I needed an extension lead to that I'm sure I could pick one up for next to nothing from one of my local shops.

Cheers

Hi,

well it arrived this morning. For a quid it's exceptional quality, right down to the gold plated jack!

There's a good solid indication between the half depress and full depress, so it'd be pretty difficult to take a picture accidentally when you only want it to autofocus. The bulb facility is nice and smooth as well.

No complaints at all, and there's lots of them available by the look of it. Best quid I've spent this week, and my first equipment review..

Cheers

At last, a place to use one of my useless facts..

If you're taking a picture of the Humber bridge, you have to remember that the tops of the two pillars (if that's the right word) are 1 1/2" further apart than the bases, because of the curvature of the earth.. which will result in the same thing happening..

Sorry..

I'm never going to that into a related conversation again in my life, so have to use the chance wisely..

Cheers

Liam
