Early morning, River Lea

I would guess Chris means Spyder 2 won't calibrate two screens attached to the same computer. I have a Spyder 2 and I've had no problem calibrating separate screens on separate pc's.

At work it took me a while to realise that "FFS" in documents actually meant "For Further Study" :D It's not the talking to myself that worries me... it's when the arguments start :lol:

http://www.fs-driver.org/ Is this any help to you?

Mine have also arrived and look good, got the velcro straps too, certainly great service :clap:

Weird. Just ordered a set via ebay and it now says 40 sold (including mine) and 1 set still available. Maybe he's found a few more sets that were hiding at the back of the cupboard :shrug:

Cheers Will, glad to hear it's not just me then :lol:

Just thought I'd post a little 'gotcha' that caught me out last night in case it's of help to anyone else. I thought the AF assist light had broken as it wouldn't work even though it was turned on in the menu (a9) and conditions were very dark :suspect: After trying a few things without...

:plusone: for Dell Ultrasharp™ 2209WA 22-Inch, great for the price and note it's an IPS panel which tends to give better colour/viewing angles than TN panels.

And if you set e.g. continuous shooting (CL) and set with shutter button locked open using a remote, you can walk away and leave the camera to take pictures only when something is in focus like when a bird lands in the focus zone to feed. Possibly not recommended at a high fps though :D

Are you sure it's not the VR working that you can hear? Mine makes a sort of whirring while VR is active.

I have a Dell 2209WA (note the WA not W) which has a 22 inch E-IPS panel and is much better than my Dell TN monitor. Certainly worth a look IMHO and can be had for about £220 e.g. here

Congratulations Barney12, just got myself one at that price, could resist no longer :D Mine had 18 shutter actuations on it when I checked, but looked pristine and all the bits were stored separately so none of them had been used. I found a 1GB card in it when I got home, an unexpected bonus...

Well done Tracer, I'm really happy with mine, only had it a day but the controls feel much better than the D80, I don't think it's just psychological, although that could have a bit to do with it :D Just need a bit of decent weather so I can get out and practice using it.

I imagine there are one or two kind souls on TP who would generously do you a straight swap of their D300 for your D700 :lol: I have fitted the OpTech strap from my D80, as you say, it's somewhat more discrete than the yellow/black Nikon one and more comfy too. Sounds like the hot shoe...
