Warm welcome to the forum Luke, would love to see some of your airshow pics when you're ready :)

Been using Ccleaner for years with no problems

at the end of the day, it's horses for courses, but at £100 pa that equates to less than £2 per week, with no initial outlay..... sounds good to me..... not free, but cheap enough, and as you say these big companies supplying a storage service online should be geared up in case anything fails on...

I can definitely see where you coming from, but call me old school in that if anything goes wrong, then at least the buck stops with me. I just prefer to sort my data storage myself! Also, as the OP Fabien had asked the question about online storage for RAW files, I would think the most cost...

Personally, I wouldn't trust backing my files up to anyone other than myself.... long term, as Paul says, the external HD with a 2nd as backup is definitely the safest option! Probably the most cost effective too.

agree with Welshnoob, a nifty fifty is gonna pay for itself in spades for the kind of photos u want to take. Get to know your subjects with the 50mm, then a 60mm or 100mm macro come well recommended.... I have the 60mm and it is quite a lens!

got to agree with Di, in the long term, an external drive would prove more cost effective, especially for RAW size files.

could it have possibly been one of the Kenco teleconverters?

to my untrained eye John, they looking good and sharp..... seems the nifty fifty came in handy!

No worries John, sounds like you had a busy time of it :) I'm only starting off myself even though been taking 'snapshots' for decades!

Be interested to hear how you get on.... got a similar situation coming soon: please keep us posted.

I gotta say I've been using my nifty fifty for the past 4 years, and I would be really happy with the sharpness of your image :)

A secondhand lens maybe an option...... I recently bought a 60mm macro Canon f2.8 from a well known auction site, and have had some decent results :)
