I bought a Canon 300 2.8 on ebay recently, tracking information was uploaded and working during delivery, but when recieved it didn't update the ebay tracking. Took about 3 weeks, messages to ebay, feedback left, etc before Ebay released the money to the seller! Put me right off trying to sell...

Cheers, it was a bit of an expedition to take it in the end! Removal of the bottom of a Tequila bottle, sourcing a tequila worm, run to the beach by Zodiac, treck up a secluded dry riverbed in the arse end of nowhere to find a cactus to then find a rattlesnake had followed us in the 10 minutes...

I was hoping to get out and get a fresh picture but work has got in the way! Turns out I'm not shooting ultra wide as much as I used to! Canon 5Diii - 17-40F4 L (@17mm, closest to 16mm I have) Taken January 2024 in the Antarctic. Antarctic Bliss by James Anderton, on Flickr

Okay, shoehorn time! I've hunted through the limited back catalogue I have with me and here's a smoke spring o_O Taken at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2018. Smoke Spring by James Anderton, on Flickr

I'm keen to jump on this, but I'm out in Mexico at the moment and closest I've got to 16mm is my 17-40 :oops: :$ Am I going to get away with that or am I out of luck?! If it's close enough to get away with it I'll get a photo in :D

Hey, welcome to the forum! Abandoned sites that people visit tend not to be advertised because quite often they're accessed based on a bit of a legal grey area. Also when Urbex was in the height of fashion, if people advertised the location of a site it would usually be inundated with people...

Just to follow up on this post, in the end I opted for the Dell XPS-15, I decided as most camera bags I'm looking at come with the slot for a 15" laptop and it's pretty small as far as 15" machines go, I'd be better off with the larger screen. I went for the 4K touchscreen version and I must say...

No doubt like many of you, I've never managed to find the perfect bag and despite havunh about 4 camera bags so far to cover most situations, I'm now after a bag I can use for travel! I'm after a backpack that will happily house the following and be airline hand luggage compatable! 1 pro size...

Thanks for the feedback! I've still got a 5 year old MSI which does what I want it to, but I travel a lot and that's one of the key factors in upgrading as I want something I can carry easily and has enough beans to edit on the move, occasional video editing also! I'll keep an eye out on the...

I'm looking for a new laotol that's a bit smaller and easy to travel sith over my 15" MSI. I've been looking at the nre Dell XPS-13 as an option, has anyone got/used it and how do they rate it if so compared to other options? Early stages of looking so open to other suggestions!

Hey, I'm also Northants based! Welcome back to the forum!

I'm also going to be in Vietnam for around two weeks from the 14th of January! Then off to Thailand/Cambodia after! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for further suggestions ;)

Ideally to use it for transporting gear while travelling and for storage of my kit when in one place but also to work from at times. I work at sea on ships/super yachts so often travel to random locations which makes it impractical to take multiple bags. At present I am using my Pro Runner 300...
