    Morris photographic (has anyone used them?)

    Yeah their service is second to none. I've used them a few times and last order there was an issue with a product, and the spare part to get things back on track was with me the next day. No complaints here, I'll use them again no hesitation.

    ebay canon 1D mk2 batteries

    I just shot ANOTHER 500 today at knockhill on that same battery, still on it's first charge!!! Yes it's now indicating low, but that's now over 2000 shots off a single charge, 95% shot on AI Servo with IS lenses. I'm happy! :thumbs:

    ebay canon 1D mk2 batteries

    I recently bought these from ebay for my 1D Mark II and I'm blown away with the life and the fit for the price. Definitely recommended! I've taken about 1600 shots with the 70-200 2.8 IS on AI Servo and it's still showing full on the camera. Very good fit and sealing.

    Canon or Nikon?

    I went from a 30D like you, to two older pro bodies ie. 5D Classic and the 1D Mark II. I couldn't be happier. I really can't see me upgrading unless one of these packs it in. Brilliant combo with more than enough pixels for me! I've got the 1D2's best autofocus out there when it matters for...

    eBay Flash Triggers for 580EX II

    I went with Phottix PT-04 II triggers. Basically newer versions of Cactus triggers. They've been really reliable for the price. I bought more after trying them. I've got 4 now.

    Inside info on Canon 24-105mm L

    one of my favourite bits of glass on the 5D. It does everything I'd expect a great f/4 IS lens to do, nothing more, nothing less. For everyday walk around shooting, it's hard to beat.
