Alas I have been sucked in by Feng's advice and, sadly, actually take on board most of what he says because (whispers) it usually makes sense.

Then he comes out with a "buy two instead of one" statement, and I wonder....... ;);)

:o:o

Well I did sleep in that bit between posting the fly shot and saying "Morning" on Page 14. And then I've been out to Esk and back this morning to put my photos up in the gallery at the Information Centre.

So, any Queenslanders that happen to be passing through Esk (or if you feel like a drive), drop in and take a peek :)

Mmmmmm, Mundial - yummy

Two of my kitchen knives are Mundial, yummy, keep their edge perfectly.

Don't buy a Furi - they suck - stain horribly despite looking after them well :s

oh thanks for the review John.

Mum's got a Mundial knife too, which is why I like them... it's lovely (even though she snapped the end off it)...

I'm looking at these ones...

2 votes for Mundial. Ours are 11years old (a fact I know because we bought them just after Aaron was born)

We have a set of about 6 and a steel. The do need a good going over with the Lansky sharpening kit though.

How can you not!? Every time I pick it up I'm glad I chose it over the 70-200 :p If you're at all a sharpness or bokeh junkie it's like pure black, glassy crack...

Actually the Aussie thread should move house soon also. It's very near 10 000. Probably should move from Member Activities to General Chat at the same time.

Heh, yeah... never thought about its category that much - we have the Newcastle meet group for the meets and there really aren't any others that are arranged via that :p

I keep telling Feng he needs a 180 Macro. It's sharper and mmmm creamy Bokeh also. :p

I haven't shot nearly enough people shots with my 180.
