Thanks. Having just googled that the answer was much easier than I ever imagined. Cheers again.

I took the plunge on the 100-400 last year before going on safari. It was the best decision I made. A great lens which I am never far from. It is a bit weighty though so maybe bear that in mind.

Hi All, Can anyone recommend a free program for basic photo edits such as red eye removal. Info needed for a friend who has a basis digital compact and no desire to invest in elements etc. Thanks, Dave

The phrase "What was all the fuss about?" springs to mind. Lenspen sensorklear pro kit appears to have done the trick nicely with an absolute minimum of effort. Thanks everybody for their help and suggestions. Dave :)
