And I thought I'd posted a reply to this - my thanks for yours. As you suggested I tried the human route and spoke to someone by phone (moral - email is not the quick fix it once was). Turns out this term is to allow them to print and reprint a book, not to allow them to use your stuff for...

Can someone clarify for me this issue. I used Bobs Books for a recent collection of photos and they did a lovely job. So I planned another one and whilst doing it the software wanted to update. During the process a new T&C came up which included this 4.6 Authorized cewe-photo provider and...

I do find IS to be handy. I've tried my 55-250 with it off and for me it makes the world of difference. That said the 4.5max app isn't so helpful, and, as the AF can sometimes hunt I mostly shoot on manual focus or fine tune with manual. (Or use the body rocking approach). They usually talk...

The last time I tried resorting to a tripod I had a Raynox on the front of my 50-250mm lens and I was using an old benbo which, whilst it's great in so far as it can get into just about any position, it's not exactly wieldy or light. Fortunately the bugs I was shooting were not overly fussed...

Thanks for the replies folks. I shall keep my eye on the 100 then and aim at that when funds permit. Would like to see some of the shots with the 100L IS myself. I think I'm also going to have to really get my head around the flash to make the most of the macro lens. (lots of reading /...

My kit pretty much consists of the two IS kit lenses and a Raynox, and I have to admit, as I've a slight tendency to 1) have less than steady hands, and 2) prefer not to use a tripod, I've found these a terrific boon. However I've recently come around to macro and semi macro (as in not the...

I'm new here myself but I'd say to your 5 points, look again. 1. People - I was shooting in a small group a while back and tried shooting from the hip or just with the camera held loosely down by my side. If you don't wave it around people are more relaxed/natural. Sure there'll be some duff...

Been reading the forum for a few days now. Decided to sign up and join in, though the size of the membership is a tad daunting. Truth be told, rather like when I first started browsing Flickr, you see some of the stuff that people produce and put up here and you're drawn to just sell your...

Pardon a response from a newb to the forums, I also have one of the Yongnuo. http://www.amazon.co.uk/meters-Remote-Control-Cameras-RS-60N3/dp/B001EYJ8F4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1242758086&sr=8-2 though this one doesn't say it works with a 40d, for that you'd need...
