Oh so you bought them? Nice! How much did they cost? I know one of them was $200, or something like that

I got the full set of Jessops ones (i think that is what they are) for like $70. Nice and solid, pretty clean and autofocus works quite nicely with all three stacked together.

But i did keep looking at the 20d they had, except it was a bit out of my pricerange at $1100, especially when i can get a new body only 30d for $300 more

Whoa! take a week off and there's another 20pages to go through!

Hmmm... okay I must have been thinking of something else that was $200.

30D body for $1400? I think you usually only get a twin lens 400D kit for that amount. Whereabouts is this, I'd like to know what they can do about a 5D

1400 is a great price on a new 30D body though

wonder what they'd do for 3 5Ds? Helen needs one too eh?

Alright, it was really $350 instead of $300 but its my weekend and my brain is fried right now

Pretty sure that place came up in this thread a few pages back when all the 5d discussion was about.

My dad is convinced on a 5d right now as well, im still focused on a 30d though.


On a side note, has anyone had any experience dealing with Prolab at south bank? Ive got a bunch of slide and 120 film sitting here waiting to be develeoped and southbank is easier to get to without a car than Photo continental.

Unfortunately I don't know much about Prolab. Though after this weekend I'm getting about six more rolls of print film done, and I'm getting fed up with Fotofast. I'm missing half my Dawn Service shots because they forgot to print or scan those frames... And that's not the first time either. Why is it always the shots I'm most eager to see that they forget?

So yeah, Spam, unless somebody else can tell you I'll look into it and get back to you.

Cool, i was thinking about heading in there tomorrow while i have a chance to.

Was also checking out there website and i cant find anything about them actually processing film for non comercial customers One would think that given Teds Camera house in town is refering customers needing slide and other format film developed there, they would do it. But im now a bit cautious about going in there with a bag load of film if they wont develop it.

"Though refusal often offends, the least you can do is ask."

That's what I usually say in that regard. Though yes, that's the vibe I got from their website as well. If they say no then I'll ask Hugh from QSMEE where he gets his slides done when I see him over the weekend. Being a school teacher I doubt he'd have the time to do it himself

Presuming that my final interview for the RAAF is a success in 11 days I am planning on buying a 5D when I finish officer training Which should be just after the new one is released.

excellent... mmm 5D2 loving (or whatever it's going to be called).

I've decided I'll only get a TC-80N3 Timer and a Hoya Pro1 Digitial Circular Polariser for two of my lenses this time, so whoever wants to order, let me know... I guess if someone wants to do the order, I don't mind splitting the freight.

Let me know... I'll probably place an order later on in a couple of months. Cash flow is a bit tight to order the tripod I want.
