    I Won...

    Amazing effort and a great result, congrats :clap: Sounds way more complicated than my ongoing attempt to build a rocket to get me closer to the moon, I only have a 50mm lens so need to get really close. ;) A few more rolls of extra thick tin foil and my re-entry shield will be complete. :shake:

    Where to buy a battery cover?

    Thanks for looking. Saw that eBay also have LP-E5 covers. Maybe the LP-E6 aftermarket will take a bit more time to produce them. Canon do sell the LP-E6 covers, approx £50 and come with a free battery ;)

    Where to buy a battery cover?

    Hi, Has anyone found where you can buy spare/replacement battery covers for the Canon LP-E6 battery? :thinking: I mean the small plastic 'trays' that clip on the back of the battery to protect from shorting the contacts. Loose change and battery in pocket don't mix well, especially if that...

    Official Batteries or 3rd Party?

    From what I have read Canon have copyrighted the algorithm that is used for the camera/battery communications. Therefore while the 3rd parties might well crack the code I think that places like Amazon would not be prepared to sell them.

    Official Batteries or 3rd Party?

    I've got a 7D and got a second original as a spare at the same time. Since then my canon charger has been 'tidied away' somewhere in the house and so I wanted a second charger till I found the original. I went onto Amazon and got: 1) An "Eclipse Canon LP-E6 Battery Charger for CANON EOS 5D...

    40d - soft focus / not amazing colours

    I have been testing my lenses and body for front/back focusing. The way I did it was to get some blu-tack, some playing cards and kitchen table. I blu-tacked the playing cards upright onto the kitchen table so that they were staggered from front left to rear right. They were spaced approx 1cm...
