Do Not take this as a serious article by the Daily Mail, Oh that's right in that paper it cannot be serious can it. I'm with hacker on this one except I don't get my rocks off with animal porn, or do I, humans are animals aren't we. Put the web cam back Hacker & enjoy your wildlife filming until...

Thanks Bill, Looks good I'll check them out & try for size.

I have returned to my passion of motorcycling, I want to combine my photography with this but I don't want to carry expensive gear without good protection. I have a small aluminium case but it will not fit in my panniers as they are rhomboid in shape. I am looking for ideas to find decent...

I know that we have previouse posts about poor internet sales but another reminder will do no harm. I have to warn people about "BITESIZEDEALS" whether .com or .co.uk. I have now read posts about this company on this forum but alas to late so here's another warning that this company will debit...

Not a backup but 2nd body, so thats 2 1dmIIn's both same set up & both used.

No you won't do any damage - use it as you wish. :thumbs:

I had the same problems as you describe Wayne, I was at that time using Jessops nimh's and a cheap fast charger, all these batteries are now in the bin. I got new ones (cheap as well) from 7 day shop along with a smart charger & all is well now -oh joy.

Have a look at Think Tank Photo, they have a system for carrying the camera on shoulder straps instead of the neck, I have the backpack 360 rotation & the pixel racing harness & they work really well. The op-tech straps also make life a lot more comfy...

Hi Mike I use a manfrotto junior geared head with my MPE65, this allows movement in one direction only so achieving constant alignment in the other 2 planes. With my newly accquired 100mm macro & ring flash I find a simple ball head on a monopod works very well & gives me a lot of free movement...

I understand you kindness in taking away my problem but in honesty as much as I would love to take up your offer I would feel so bad at passing on my problem to you I just wouldn't sleep at night, my stomach would tighten and projectile vomitng would ensue, this would cause worrying from my wife...

Hi Bob I'll check the EXIF data, but not used at all recently & never in damp, & yes I do have a digital multimeter. John Just checked EXIF data Bob - it shows all data correctly - canon 600mm f4 on an eos 1dMKIIn (hope this helps you to help me Bob)

Thanks guys, I tried Lehmanns today Paul ,but will have to wait untl monday. I will try cleaning contacts Rick but afraid to say it's not an IS model. I will post the answer if I ever get one. cheers - John

Heavy it is,but how it compare with others I don't know. I use it on my monopod also & find it brilliant, it makes carrying a bit difficult but we have to make some allowances.

Not tried the CB head but I do use the wimberley which I would not change, well made, perfect balance & smooth as cream to use, if prices are all in one ball park then for my money - go for the wimberley.
