Thanks folks

Hi all, my 17-85 lens has been showing an Err01 Communication problem....... Is it worth a repair? Any ideas on costs or what recommendations to replace it with?

Thanks folks, decision made.......hand luggage it is :-)

Is it safe for my 60d and lenses to be packed in their camera bag inside a suitcase in the hold on a plane or would that be a crazy idea? We are flying to Australia and we are quite limited for hand luggage space. Not sure what to do!

Thanks for all of your input and feedback on this thread. I've found it all really useful. I've still to experiment with the bbf but I will in time. Thanks again folks Merry Christmas

Definitely handle both first before making a purchase. It's like taking a car for a test drive really!!! For a long time I had my heart set on a Nikon but ended up with a Canon after handling them both. The Nikon just didn't kind of 'feel right' in my hands whereas the Canon was just lurvley ;-)

I like this one .....

Thank you ;-)

Yeah the ceiling was about 20ft+ up!!! The crop was done on my phone whilst sitting in the Lowry theatre in Manchester watching Diversity :-) What did you change out of interest, it looks much better ;-) Excuse my ignorance.........what is drl?

And another........

Here's one......

Well, it went ok last night, I clicked away 100's of times and came away with a good number of decent (for me) action shots. I was using full manual mode too which was brave of me :-) Perhaps a little too much noise on some, which I couldn't see on the night on the camera screen unfortunately...

Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on :-)

That's the plan!!!! They tend to work their way around the dance floor perimeter in an oval shape so I'm planning on positioning myself on the end of one of the 'straights' or just around the edge of the corner

Thanks mr, I really appreciate your help ;-)
