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?

If it helps, I got one of these and use it when travelling.

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.

Cool! I have a 'copy' of remask but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I LOVE adjust & infocus

For us not in the know, are these programs or photoshop actions?

I bought one of these when I was travelling - handy, light and folds away - also works with different bags!

They look like prawns faces. Nice shot.

if you need to re-align after the test is it a send to canon or a diy job?

8f3 PP plugins although 8bf fit most decent picture editing programs. So no not actions but plugins.

They're essentially fancy photoshop filters. I think you can plug them into lightroom or just about any other major image editing software out there.

If you find it's not focusing properly you can use the microadjust custom function to force the focus point forwards or backwards. (5d II's have this I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

If the range provided doesn't fix your problem you'd need to send it away, but I can't imagine that being the case if Mark wasn't having issues with it.

Ok, ta for that. Don't have lightroom but will look into it.

When you do this make sure you test it at different focal lenghts. Your camera will remember each lens you set in it's own memory. So when you change lenses it will automatically adjust. This also works with 3rd Party lenses as well.
You should have +/- 20 adjustments. Take you shots 5 increments apart and then view them. Then when you have wittled it down take another 10 shots at 1 increment steps. Make sure you view them at 100%.
2 of my lenses are +12 so don't panic if the adjsutments seem way out.
Hope this helps.
