I might try and get my roller case wheel changed again, 3rd time lucky so will be down your way if I do. I'll be in there from around 3pm I expect.

Cool.

I'll bring a few bits into work that day and meet you somewhere after. I'm usually done by 4:30ish.

Anyone in here use trolley wheels on their kit bag. I use a Tamrac Expediton 4 with several packs and Manfrotto 55ProB tripe and it kills me. (Getting old). It would be nice to attach some wheels on the occasion.
I suppose I could attach a large helium balloon to counter the weight and it could be handy for aerial shots, but that means I'd have to carry a frigging great gas cylinder around with me so it defeats the object somewhat.
Maybe I should get an old market barrow and find someone to push it for me. Any offers? :mad:

Try the trial version of PP pluginTopaz InFocus. It is pretty impressive. (Does help to have a reasonable pic to start with though).
I wouldn't say it is too sharp but he knows how to use light and the strong bokeh brings it out more.

It looks good to me, hardly too sharp. I would normally say stop down a little, but the exif says he shot wide open so who knows. That 135mm is nice :)

Speaking of, anyone have one I could borrow for a couple of weeks in april while I'm in Egypt? Willing to trade my 70-200 for the duration (or any other lenses I don't take) :)

Another vote for Topaz InFocus. The retail price isn't even that high is it? I got it when it was on sale a few months ago and I think I only paid $30 for it.

Hrmm, looking at it now (external link) I see that it's $70. I'm sure you could find a 'copy' lying around somewhere :)

Thanks! I dont seem to get shots that sharp with the 135mm even though Mark did previously when he owned it ???
I could be tempted in to a loan..but im sure you're taking the 85 with you ;)

You must be rubbish then ;)

hehe, kidding of course. Could be that it needs some micro adjusting with your camera body?

Not sure what I'm taking yet, but likely the 85 will be in the bag. Doubtful I'll take the tilt-shift though if you wanted to play with that?

Yep I went a bit mad with Topaz and bought InFocus, DeNoise, Adjust and ReMask 3 and I have to say having tried practically all the competition they are unparralled. I was using the Mask Pro 4 but the new Topaz Remask (unlike the previous one) pisses the competition to the wall.
