Anyone interested in a seldom used, as new condition, 50mm F1.8, make me a reasonable offer and it's yours. Complete with orignal box etc. Going to upgrade to 50mm F1.4 for the USM when I'm shooting Volleyball.

Canon EF 100-400L F4-5.6 IS for sale Perfect condition! PM me

Gah... all this stuff for sale! They're the ones I want, too. It's all very tempting but I'm trying to save my hard-earned money for a 400D

just a tip yuztoo, get your photo printed, take a blank sheet the size of your photo, and then shop for a big enough frame. You can then, if needed, get a mat to suit the frame, as i have found ready made frames to be a bit difficult to match with the inbuilt mat. (if they have one)

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember that when I'm ready to shop.

Today was a very hectic day for me indeed. Me, my wife and Connor welcomed the latest addition to the Lewis family. Stella Maree came into this world at 12:47pm 20/07/2007. Attached are photos of the main attraction as well as the the Lewis Clan with their newest member. I won't go into as much detail as Luke did but suffice to say that i feel for what he and his wife went through.

Has anyone used a Sigma EF-500 DG ST E-TTL Shoe Mount Flash (Guide No. 165'/50 m at 105mm) for Canon EOS with E-TTL II? At around USD150 it looks to me as a fair replacement for a 430EX.

oh and congratulations, lovely family

My god, there's babies popping out everywhere.

Congratulations, Stuart!

I think Nigel (NerdyNigel) on this thread has one of these.

Congratulations Stuart on the new addition to you family.

congratulations Stuart.

Anyone else going up to the WideBay Inernational Air show in bundaberg in 2 weeks time?

Congratulations, Stuart!

Thanks to everyone for there congratulations. I know it takes a lot out the woman having a baby but none realises what mental exhaustion the would be fathers endure. I am totally knackered, although staying up until 1 in the morning wetting said baby's head doesnt help

Ill join in and also say congrats Stuart. Bet someone wont be getting much sleep for a few months now.

Oh and Feng, i see you laid claim to that box of goodies on OCAU. Ill buy the ricoh rangefinder out of it if you want to sell it. Ive been looking for one to use as a film point and shoot for a very long time now and was about to make an offer on just that until i saw that you have offered to take the lot.

Connor, sorry for forgetting to congratulate you. Here we go ... "Congratulations on the arrival of the new baby". I am sure your household is enjoying the new member of the clan. Lots of smile ... or rather happy crying? Well, with children both parents have their moments I am sure.

Hope your older children gotten their Harry Potter's last book. I saw lots of happily jumping children at the sales' opening. Now, I was a bit blushed when asked by Peter Beattie if I was a photographer. Not sure what to answer to that one?? (he was just asking for someone to take a picture of the security guy with him with the cam phone). A journoulist saved the day with the offering and leaving me more time to take Mr Premier's photo instead.

Hope your days been good and lots of photos. Great day out there. Clouds and sky were very nice.

Peace
