POTN Aussie Club #7 - Feng, where's my invoice?

He says they are based in Melbourne but if no stock will ship from o/s which i was ok with. i might give it another few days.

Hi all.

For those of you who own a legit copy of lightroom 2, how much did you pay for it? I am seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on a 27" iMac and that means starting to buy legit software. *shudder*

Can someone enlighten me on where the cheapest place to buy legit mac software is?

I see the full version of LR 2 goes for about $600 aud! Gasp!

Any tricks from the mac owners among us?

We did a group buy on here about a year ago for LR2 through Feng (wakko). I paid $121 for my fully legitimate student copy.

Or, yeah, as Mic said, if you really want to, you can still get a heap of stuff illegally.

I have five

Can't get into that link though, without signing up. (No idea how I know that...)

Hi Guys, fairly new here .. but ..

Any idea how strict adobe/scholastic are with regards to student editions? From what they write on the stickers on the boxes, it seems like they do all sorts of checks just for you to be able to register it...

2ndly, anyone have any idea what these are like? I have done basically zero strobe work, have a ex580 and some cheap hongkong wireless triggers to play with, and am wondering if that kit will offer a range of alternate uses/setups etc. i guess im thinking versatile and durable - i'd prefer not to drop $250 on something that will be next to useless as i shoot more flash..

Cheers
Ash

Can't see, and I'm not signing up to see...How much is it?

So I'll get rid of one of my 550EX's... these will work as master or slaves with 420EX, 430EX, 550EX or 580EX but wont work as a master with the 430EX II or 580EX II's

I've got 2 .. one is as new, with box and instructions etc and still has the $999.00 price tag on it..

$350 inc post for this one..

The other one is without box and has a few minor marks on it and the external power plug socket is missing the rubber cap... still works fine..

$300

Whichever one sells I'll keep the other as a backup..

Umbrellas blow over easier than the softboxes they sell

Is this dumb post week?

"If they were the same price, which would you choose, the 70-200 L or 100-400L"

"Is "bokeh" even really a word?"

"Must the Lens be Canon"

"Poll: Which prime for the 1D Mark III (APS-H)"

Deadset. It seems the lens forum is full of morons.

Sounds like the guy I bought my 5D MKII off, zero communication from him after sale and then bingo just as I was starting to be concerned it arrived.
