I say on the way home, this was a detour. I know how sunny it can get here so it was a good spot to see how well it does.
Seems to be ok but will have it handy on Sunday to give it a good bashing around. Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program. Everyday, the universe spits out another idiot.....So far, the universe if winning

I wonder if having the IS on 'continuous mode' doesn't help (as it won't be able to correct for any high-speed vibrations) .... Still, more progress to come I'm sure  Cheers, David  David Hogg LRPS

Mike ugly when I'm sober  More info | Jun 05, 2008 11:43 | #5379 Mitesh, have a look at something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk …ZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem What I might do is shear off the extra filter holder slots on my holder to try and reduce the vignetting at the wider end. It seems I might need a better filter system for 24mm and wider for the 5D. www.mikegreenphotography.co.uk

Plenty of uk sellers on ebay of filters etc. Ironic since I was just about to have a look on eBay. I might just shear mine down to size anyway and just use it as is. If I break it, no harm done.

Did you guys spot this thread about Lee Filters poor coatings batch and storage method/packs https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=514780 Dave, your aerial shots are quiet something but as for using that little heli in canary Wharf.........well I suspect you or it would not last long in freedom. A camera is one thing but just think of the legal question marks over that little beauty flying its stuff around the Wharf area. Still at least you will have plenty of witnesses to take pictures of our bobbies doing their duty with you Maybe even a "shot" of an SO-19 officer bringing it down!Read that one too, bit of an odd thing. Not recommended for storage in microfibre cases. Wonder if there is now a warning on the packaging for the filters? Everyday, a programmer finds a way of creating an idiotproof program.

Its pretty lame at how ALL of this is pretty much essential. No additional lenses are going to be kept in and the 400D is pretty much sold.

Its pretty lame at how ALL of this is pretty much essential. No additional lenses are going to be kept in and the 400D is pretty much sold. This is my minimal gear now. That's why I have more than one camera bag...one to store all of my gear in and one to carry around the little bits I need depending on what I'm doing. I don't think I could carry everything around and still raise my arms up high enough to take a photo http://www.evilkitchen.ca
