Exactly what I was thinking.

Wonder how many they did get back?

Probably a few dim people sent them back. I'm still looking for mine, I bet I spent one

Cool simple shots!

Meeting up about half 7 to catch the golden hour of light then head into town center for strobist bits with Scott after ..

Still hunting for a good location tbh, shooting a mk5 fiesta on throttle bodies and maybe a mk6 fiesta st that 200 bhp!

Cool. Should have a good time.

Do you want the car rig to try out also?

If you don't mind dragging along that would be cool!

Do you have my addy?

Oh yeah have you found the flash bracket yet?

Nope. Everything else even junk I dont need, I cannot find it.PM your addy over. I can see if I can head off before teh traffic.

Not to worry, I'll just use the flash on the hot-shoe mount!

PM on its way .....

I know this sounds daft, but are there any 3rd party battery manufacturers/sellers that are more reputable than the rest?

Need to get some more juice for my 5DII, but im not sure if i would prefer to buy one Canon battery for £65, or get two 3rd party batteries for about £30.

Ask Kerso, I got my Canon BP511A for £42 delivered compared to over £75 online/shop elsewhere

Already got a quote from kerso, but he is no cheaper than highstreet on these, plus there's the £10 postage etc.

I'm in the same quandry...

I have bought a cheap 1DII battery out of necessity, however the bloody metal clip is back to front so it doesn't fit in properly

I really need a new 5dII and MKIII battery if anyone sees any good deals

Soooo, who's gonna have a crack at the Strobist food assignment?

With my 1D Classic, I got three batteries. Two original Canons and a third party high capacity battery. The Canon ones last about 40 shots but the high capacity is great and lets me go on about two days shooting easy.

I just removed the end cap from one of the older batteries and swapped them. Works a treat. I can bring one along or pop round sometime and we can swap em around.

Hey fellas just checking in, hope the meet went well yesterday don't think I have seen any pics yet.........have been away all weekend camping in Salisbury great weather!!!

Did get a chance to pop into Reddot Cameras on friday morning and bought a Leica CL with a Summicron 40mm f/2, will pop up a few pics shortly of the little beauty.
