went back to the shop today and asked them to try the lens on another body. it was focusing but very slowly and intermittently so they replaced the lens without question :-D I did check the contacts and everything looked shiney and bright, both on the lens and camera so didn't try cleaning...

I'm hopeful they will sort it, they've been very good in the past. I'll see what they say tomorrow. Thanks for the replies

Oh dear :-( do shops have to warranty used goods I.e. fit for resale etc. They are a very good local shop that I've used a few times, just wondering if I'm relying on their goodwill or if there's a couple of months warranty on shop sales?

I could do with some help with a 2nd hand lens I bought last weekend. Its a 17 to 40mm f4 L and its on a canon 30d body. I've taken about 20 to 30 photos with it over the last week and its worked fine, tried to use it this afternoon and it will not work when the lens is in AF mode. The camera...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBDj-t6OVQg Link to one of the several DH runs at Innerleithen. I've ridden a few of them (slowly!) and they are mostly under tree cover so you may struggle for light. worth trying to find out which of the courses they are using and look through some videos on...

when I had a 17-85 (from new) it suffered terribly from it. Hanging round my neck when walking it would extend out in 4 or 5 steps. A wide rubber band around the inner/outer barrel join held it in place with little effect on the zoom operation. Only a bodge but it worked

Thanks for the help guys, I've updated the version of DPP to 3.9.3 and installed raw codec and it's working great now. Just need to find an version of EOS utility so I can update that too :-)

Thanks, that's a kind offer :-) I'll try updating it first and see if that works. Thanks Andy

I've installed the version of DPP from the linked site and it will view jpegs OK, but won't preview the CR2 files from my old 40D. Do I need a raw plugin or something to view Canon RAW files? cheers :-)

I've bought a 2nd hand canon body that came without the software discs. I'd like to get hold of DPP and EOS utility as I've used them before (I uninstalled the software when I sold my old camera) and I'm missing it as the software was useful. I've looked on Canons website and there is a...

Thanks for the info :-) I'll have a look at those models cheers Andy

Are TP camera straps generally available or just done as limited runs/group buys? I can't see a 'forum shop' as such but remember threads about straps branded with the TP site logo. If they're not readily available can anyone recommend a good strap for a Canon xxD body please. I've had the...

Cheers guys, didn't know about the sigma 30. Definitely worth a look A 30 to 35 mm on a crop body is roughly comparable to a 50mm on a FF body right?

I used to have a 'nifty 50' prime that I liked, but it was a little too long for most things I used it for. I also had a 28mm f2.8 that was a better focal length but was very slow to focus and a bit soft. This was on a 40d body How does the 35mm f2 compare to these two primes for focussing...

also have a look for a small microswitch in the hotshoe.. this has come up before, the result was that the microswitch in the hotshoe had stuck down so the camera though there was a flashgun mounted in the hotshoe and was disabling the onboard flash. Not sure what camera it was on though.
