No problem, my grip actually saved the day yesterday.
Took the dog and camera for a walk along the beach, took a couple of shots to be greeted with no memory card inserted (it was in my laptop back home).

Lucky for me I always keep a spare in the grip.

Well I suppose the price may be a little high.
Calumnet have them on EBay brand new for the same price .. a little less actually.

My Tom Tom can't, they keep adding roundabouts, adding and taking away roads and other general messing about.

Last night I was offered a mint condition Bigma for £450 and I must admit to be in 2 minds as whether its worth buying.

I have my Sigma 70-200mm APO EX f2.8 with 2X Sigma EX Teleconverter plus the Pentax F* 300mm f4.5 and 1.4x Tamron teleconverter.

Im just wondering if the Bigma is going to be any better at 500mm ?

I have the 72B 90mm adaptall 2 mount macro lens and it works fine.
I am also 99.9% sure that one will work with it .. but not having one Im loathed to say 100%

I have just bought a redsnapper tripod and monopod.
They are both on offer atm and it worked out with the special prices that I basically got both for the original tripod price (and I was going to buy it at normal price anyway).
I have heard nothing but good things about them, their ball heads are supposedly excellent as well.

Edit: Goodness, theres a lot of prices in that statement.

In the past month alone the seller has had 4 negatives all for non reciept of goods.
4 negatives out of 141 sales in a month is not a great percentage, especially as Ebay no longer allows the seller retalitory feedback.
The buyer now holds all the cards and can trash a sellers rep in an instant with no fear of comeback.

I had to leave mine in the UK as I only had hand luggage on the plane.
It was either the flash or the Pentax F* 300mm f4.5 and as I had a AF-360 here anyway there was no contest really.
