Pretty much, if it's USB 1.

Even USB 2 isn't particularly efficient.

Thanks, ive just never transfered so much in one go so not sure.

Anyway i might go to bed shortly and likely wont be on much tomorrow (maybe on my iPhone) going into the city to get away from my Mac, Will probably take 1 body and the 85mm (Havnt used it in a while) and try get some shots.

Head out to Martin Place Angus.
It's all Christmas there and bound to be some interesting people to shoot!

So long as it doesn't rain

BTW, i have listed a Computrekker bag in the sell section if anyone is interested.

And some B&W tax whilst we are at it!

Any difference between the 1B and UV?

Skylights are just UV filters that give a very slightly warmer tone.

Bags it!

I know there isnt much chance but ill put it out there anyway. Im simply wondering if anyone on here would be willing to lend me a camera (Any Canon DSLR) on December 5th. Got an award ceremony to shoot and i have to get up and get a prize so i want a remote set up getting full stage shots so i can get one of me (And the people who go up in my lot as i have to drop the camera about 10mins before my prize and for 10 mins after)

Would ideally prefer an XXD Series or Above but an XXXD Series would be fine.

EDIT: Would happily pay a small rental fee.

Thanks

Lets try this one more time now the geek speak has settled down

Who should I use for out of warranty Lens repair ?
The auto focus on my 50mm f1.4 has decided to die.

OF...I have used Canon Melbourne for an out of warranty repair on a camera. They did a great job but not cheap. Unsure about lenses. You must have someone closer by though. Good luck!

Am I the only one who immediately thougt this photo was a bit naughty or does my mind reside somewhere near the gutter?

Usually my mind is in the gutter quiet a bit, but this time i just saw a beautiful photo with a great conversion

I've got a Skylight on my nifty, and can't tell any difference at all. I just use it as a UV (IE element protection.)
