    First L lens...which one?

    I've just bought a 24-105 from Kerso and it's brilliant! I took it on holiday to italy with me and the image quality is outstanding. Whatever you get I'd recommend buying from Kerso, best prices around and excellent customer service. Blatant plug over! ;)

    Help with Mac OS X

    Yes, she's using iPhoto, although it'll be an old version. I'd really appreciate some simple instructions on how to resize, I don't have a Mac and my sister's not the most IT literate person in the world! Thanks.

    Help with Mac OS X

    My sister is living out in Brazil and has an old Mac running OS X. She's trying to email photos back to us but the internet connection speeds are very slow and it takes ages to send pictures straight from the camera, as the file size is too high. Do any of you Mac users know how to convert the...

    Advice photographing a street

    Thanks Stewart, I'm going to try just doing a few shops to start with so that I get my technique right. I'll let you know how it goes and if the results are at all respectable I'll post them on here.

    Advice photographing a street

    I want to document what my local High Street looks like, as it's constantly changing and I think it'll make a good historical project. My idea is to stitch together a whole load of photos so that I can get a long composite of the street. I think I'm going to have to get up early to avoid...

    Newbie flash advice

    I'm thinking about buying my first flash for my 400D and I'd appreciate any advice people might have. It'll probably be used on camera most of all but I'd like the option to be able to use it off camera too. I'm considering the Cullmann D4500-c for £169 or the 430ex or 580ex. Does anybody...

    Daft Question

    Does that mean there's a quality difference between them? e.g. 24-105 f4 = Black 70 - 200 f4 = White

    Why are some L Series lenses white and some are black? :thinking:

    What's causing my dark corners?

    Thanks for the quick replies! Yes, I was using a circular polariser, will that make the effect worse? How can I avoid this in the future? Will a different aperture make a difference?

    What's causing my dark corners?

    I took this shot the other day but I don't know why the corners are dark, especially in the top left? Any ideas? It was taken on my 400D with a Sigma 18 - 200 lens at 18mm, f3.5 and 1/250. ISO was 100. Thanks in advance.

    CF Card Reader Needed

    I'm looking for a card reader too and was wondering if there's a speed difference between USB 2 and a PCMCIA adapter? I think the PCMCIA solution's neater but not sure if it's much slower. Anybody know?

    Were you taking photos in Trafalgar Square, Saurday 26th jan 2008?

    Go guitarist dude! Young love :love: so sweet. Try ringing up the local London radio stations, it's a good human interest story that might tug a few heart strings. How long is "long distance" by the way?

    Best AF setting

    Thanks for your advice guys. :thumbs: I think I'll try using Servo mode and see how that goes.

    Best AF setting

    I recently upgraded my Fuji S9500 to a 400D and I'm a bit confused by the AF options. My old fuji had one AF point in the centre of the viewfinder but the 400D has 9! When I try to take a photo I find it quite hard to get the right AF sensor to register. What is the benefit of having 9 AF...
