I know

dammit

The Aussie Bride calls it 'bonding with the dog'

The dog calls it 'food'

I call it a bloody shame.

Excellent work Slimfast ... I forgot about our country-wide Postie bunk-off. No wonder I never got no mail this mornin'. I did post some tho'. The stripper shots would be great if you can contain yer excitment. Hard fer a young lad I know :-) That kinky kenko is a fine buy.

I had quite a buying spree this AM. I will report back later when I recover.

What I don't understand is why a one day strike changes next day delivery from a saturday to a tuesday...

If it gets delivered by your 'normal' (as apposed to abnormal :-)) postie, A 'Special Delivery' will normally be delivered an a Sat, along with your normal delivery.

So looking forward to the 'striptease' - I'll be interested in how the Kenko (Don't they make coffee???) performs - I'm looking at it myself to work with both my Sigma 70-200 and my new Canon 135L

We have had no problems with deliveries round our way, all our posties must be breaking the strike action! - Maybe it's because we live in a very respectable (expensive) area :p :D :D

Yer talkin' Dorzet there lad, so it can only be extensive and long-standing in-breeding leading to an addled gene-pool too dumb to deviate from their normal Mon-Fri activities. Or maybe they just forgot?

That's what it'll be then!

I live in the 'posh' part or 'Dorzet' down near Canford Cliffs & Sandbanks (well about 20/30 mins drive from said locations) The posties don't want to upset all the 'nobs' livin' down here in their huge mansions :evil:

i've got a kenko 2x tcon and it performs very well (its MF on any of the lenses i'd want to use it on but that doesn't bother me :))
here's an example.(unprocessed, except for desaturating it).. shot with the 350D, 100-400 and tcon (on a tripod)
