Thanks for the tips. We went up to Wex in Manchester today. They gave us a full tutorial on the current tech and demonstrated a host of bodies and lenses. I think we were there for over 2 hours. We ended up raising the budget and will probably go with a sony A6700. It was more affordable...

Gawd. I think a shop visit is needed… I have a 7d with 50mm, sigma 10-20, 24-105 and the 100-400. He likes the 100-400, but it was heavy to lug aroun kennedy space centre this summer.

I dont really use my camera much anymore so I’ve been letting my lad use it. He has a pretty good eye and has said he wants his own set up. With his 18th coming up we are looking for ideas. The technology has really changed since I last signed on here so i am not sure what to go for. It...

Thanks sep. I'm surprised it's so easy.

We've moved from windows to MacBook today. We have 2x 500gb Weston digital passports formatted to windows that are full of photos. Any recomendations how to transfer them to a Mac compatible external drive?

Managed to get hold of them in the end. Got a quote half the price of fixation and Johnstones. Half the turn round time too. Sent it off last Thursday and expected it all back next Friday. It actually arrived yesterday and the repairs and calibration appear to be spot on. The few test...

Cheers peeps. I'm not getting far but I'll keep looking!

Thanks George, But that got me through to the same call centre.... The guy got 90% of my details wrong and I ended up giving up.

Is there a direct dial number for the canon repair centre in Elstree? I tried the number on the canon website and got an asian call centre. I want to send my kit off for repair but want an idea of cost before I choose Fixation or them. EF100-400 needs to have the locking ring replaced...

Thanks for all that....I've never seen so much pooh in one thread lol. What i've read is that you can't use things like bleach so how do you clean a loo? Or unblock a sink?. Also how do you clean up after DIY jobs etc....?

Shes found a house with a septic tank as opposed to plumped in sewage drains...been reading up on this and it looks like you are limited in what can goes down the toilet......So anyone have one and what are the pros and cons?

Thanks Yall, Planning is going to be an issue as the house is in a conservation area. It's a Bungalow....Probably 80's or 90's build. Roof looks quite high although its a Hip roof. Only other points is that if we made an ensuite up there I guess we'd have to move the water tank too (which...

Mrs has found a house she likes.....Me, I Hate it but, With some wortk it may be acceptable. One I dea I have is a loft conversion. So simple questions..... Who has one? How costly is it? and how complicated?

Was feeling a bit of guilt this morning....

Hmmm went back to the shop on the way home tonight....think I might have to flip a coin.
