I think they do. If I remember correctly I saw some application forms for Qcards there.

I wonder what sort of trade in I'd get for a kit lens....

BTW SS that is classic

AC does not sure about Pro gear. Yes 3 months intrest free then 24% intrest
My avaiable credit with q-card is $14K at the moment. Imaginge how much intrest you would be paying on that amount.
Thats a 1DSmk3 and 35 F1.4 L or 600mmF4 L

And a divorse

interest @ 24%??? :P really? wow I didn't know that! Show's how much time I spend looking thru terms & condtitions. I thought there must be some sort of catch for them to offer 3months interest free permanently. Haven't touched my qcard for yonks, so I just thought be good to dust the cobwebs

excellent, just gotta make sure I pay it off before the 3months is up hehehehe...

I will bank loan the next lens/camera/both.

Q-Card is NOT CHEAP to have

2.5k over 3 months is $208 a week before you hit the intrest

question: is it better to have a silver and gold reflector or silver and white?

Someone from work offered to buy me one

see if they want to buy you a 5-way one, which has silver, gold, white, black, and translucent for filtering direct light

i got mine off TM for $65, 1m across

I got 1 of them. Very good

i was playing around with my 50mm f/1.8 last night. i had one small lamp on and it was pretty dark indoors. however, it did manage to AF lock on various subjects without too much trouble. i think the 40D helped it out a lot. however, the resulting shots (at f/1.8, ISO 800) were a little fuzzy at 100%, and they were also a bit noisy - surprising for the 40D. would this be due to lens IQ? it performs pretty well in the daytime

Remember its only a 1.8 and a small bedroom lamp dosnt produce a lot of light even though the eyes think it does. Was it handheld?
When I do my bedroom shots its 1600 with 50F1.2
What were you shooting
