Your not paying for a jpeg file, you are paying for an image and for someones skill in taking it. Would you buy an oil painting by its weight of paint used and nothing for the skill to put it on a canvas? If you dont like the price of an image try and going out to take it yourself, you may...

WWE ? Why are abreviations used so much on here? Is it too much trouble to type out whole words? Brian

I had trouble with a 300mm coming adrift on a MKII body on Skomer one year. I found the spring loaded locking in the body would occasionally stick in and not lock the lens in place. All I did was to put a drop of very fine oil on it and make sure it was free, not had any trouble since. Brian...

A friend owns a 450D and took it to Peru a couple of months ago where it failed on her. I think it just "died", luckly she had managed to wangle a spare 450 body from Canon ( she knows people in high places) which she had taken with her which behaved with no probs. Her dead body was taken to...

The way I look at things is that I can't be as good as I think, or like to think I am. One motor mag saw some of my work and said they were good, but they unfortunately had a photographer at the meeting. But if I went to another to let them know. I did but nothing came of it. Silverstone Race...

Dont forget the Pentax Spotmatic II. Ive got one and I liked it a lot.
