well guys, there has been some interesting reading in relation to this topic, thanks for the input. My situation is now looking good, moved in to my new home, finally found places for most my cr@p that i have hoarded for the last 30+ years. Got a new lady in my life, 10 years younger than me...

Any one switched from Iphone to google pixel ? My contract has just expired for my iphone 6 and im thinking of changing to google as im fed up with getting notifications that my storage is nearly full (16gb) and the time it takes to charge the phone up etc. I can get a better deal and a 64gb...

Im just going through my divorce, luckily the kids are grown up now and have independent life styles so thats not a worry. It was my decision to end it after 29 years of marriage, her alcohol consumption has got out of control and taking over everything we did. I have tried to explain what the...

My itch that i cant scratch, thats niggling away at me is a canon 300mm f2.8 is I am due a payout soon from a car accident back in May this year, its not a massive amount but should have it covered for a good copy of a used version and possibly a TC to go with it ;-)

Hi Joel, no ive had mine a few weeks now. I do remember ordering it on a Thursday evening and getting an email back from them friday morning saying they have received my order and is being processed. I got another email from them later in the day saying my order has been processed and is...

I bought mine from HDEW (without wanting to start a conversation about tax avoidance etc) I ordered it Thursday evening, got an email Friday saying it had been dispatched by next day delivery, excluding weekends, and it arrived Monday, and got three year uk warranty. Great camera, you will love it.

Ive just had to send mine back to sigma. A while back it stared making a strange noise, a bit like a whistling sound while trying to auto focus, this has progressed to throwing focus out of the window and totally freezing up out of focus, the only way to get back on track was to change to single...

Have you looked at the canon 80D, thats getting good reviews for both video and stills. The flip screen would also be a benefit.

If you are ever out and about not far from skipton i can recommend a few places to go, they are a bit strenuous, hopefully not too bad. Rylstone cross is nice for sunsets, easy walking on farm track, but gets steeper towards the last bit. Embsey crag is also good, you can do the top of the crag...

Thanks, i have ordered one from SRB today. I will let you know how i get one, once i get the chance to get out into the wilds, when the wind and rain stops :-)

Thanks guys, it looks like i will be getting one, its got to be worth having one in my bag.

Price wise for the pro1 in the link is about the same as i have seen elsewhere, so that must be the average price range. Is it worth paying more for a different version ?? and could anyone tell the difference is the big question :-(

Thanks for the link, i didnt realise there are different versions on the same item.

My question is are polarising filters worth the money or needed at all for landscape shots including waterfalls etc It seems that Hoya pro1 are a favourite. Is it worth spending money on them or will a cheaper version like an SRB filter do the same job ?

Some great advice coming in, thanks :-) My map should be here this week so its the start of things.
