What about the granite pans as advertised on tv, shows them cooking alsorts including a bread wrapper and it not sticking i think it is a JML product ?

Just had quick look, there are plenty of PS3 repairers around the uk that do the yellow ring of death. Iown a x-box and they get a similar fault the red ring of death and all they do is take it apart and run a hot air gun over it. the cause is the joints break on the board & when they run the...

can anyone tell me of any any other lens that fit Eos canon apart from sigma, tamron I mean more like fd lens, pentax cheers andy

Not to confuse things david, can i ask where you get the 500 rule from because from all the searching on the net about astrophotography I've only seen them mention divide by 600 or 400, i been using the 600 one next time i go out i will try 500 to see what it's like, like you say you need to...

that's what i was doing , I was shooting them in raw and then turning them into tiffs but I can only do this singulary which is a long and laborious job when you have a lot of frames, that's why i asked if the could be done as a batch

Hi Is it possible to use the camera video function on a tripod for astrophotography, or would i have to get a ccd camera cheers andy
