    wide angle/fisheye lens?

    I just picked up a Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 from Kerso. Yet to have much of a play with it, but it gets decent write ups. It wont produce the extreme fisheye as per the 10.5mm shown above however, so depends what you're after.

    Camera bag for SLR with zoom & raincoats

    yes i think so but only with some slight jiggery pokery. The bottom section should just about take your 300mm with the divider removed. you could then use this divider to split the upper 'camera' part to divide off a space for your 12-24. Only problem is, there's no velcro on the top side of...

    Places to photograph in london please?

    Highgate is good, but personally I prefer Abney Park cemetery in Stoke Newington. Its wonderfully overgrown and gothic.

    Ideas for Rome

    St Peter's and the Vatican I agree with Glo, early morning or very late at night will be your best chances of capturing the Trevi fountain without hoards of people. you are going at quite a good time of year though, as there are far fewer crouds compared to later in the season when it...

    Lens Repair Service
