would you class dust as being not as described? All I was asked was if the lens was in full working order. The cost of a service isn't possible. The lens was only £140 all in.

It's a 17-70. The optics were never described as "excellent". I simply answered a query that it "was in full working order". I must admit I didn't notice any dust myself. It's been my walkabout lens for about a year and I've had no problem with it.

I've sold a lens elsewhere and the buyer is complaining there is some dust inside the front element. Would you class this as a "faulty" lens? Most lenses over a few years seem to have this imho.

Not for me, I prefer the original. It looks a little too unnatural to me but I'm sure it'll be to other's tastes.

I sooooo don't get Lightroom. I really need to spend a couple of days buried in a good book and spend some time sorting my collection.

I've seen pics from Valencia on Flickr that seems to be from individuals. Seems ok to me and I doubt you'd be challenged. I reckon it's probably just the standard response. The only issue would be if you were selling them imho.

A friend suggested exporting all of the files to a new location and reimporting. Is there any way of doing this and keeping lightroom catalogue settings? i don;t want to have to reprocess everything.

Any sign of it heading to iPad? I'd kill for a lightroom/aperture app.

It's all down to ease of use. I prefer a better photographic experience rather than pinsharp pictures. That said i feel I think about my photography a little more when using a prime.

I'm an ICT teacher and I recently had a go at running a photography club. Despite how much you know it's really difficult to try and describe that to a group of 15 year olds. I feel like I know my way around the theory really well but composition and the like is difficult to teach.

Germany. Head for the Nurburgring and get a couple of laps in. Adenau is a lovely town as well for a night.

I've got a single catalogue in lightroom but have only recently used it to copy files to a new location on import. My previous images are scattered all over various hard disks and I wondered if there was a way of telling lightroom to copy and organise all of it's current photos en masse...

I've never understood the obsession with expensive cable releases. Surely a cheapo one does the same job as a £40 one? :lol:

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger one of these mainly for the side opening pouch. The space for the camera body looks very big and I worry my ungripped 40d is going to slide around, both horizontially and vertically. Can anyone with the fastpack comment?

I'm running LR2 with a library of 12210 RAW pictures and find it hugely slow to use. Scrolling through the library to find a selection of pics is a chore as it chugs along. Will the spec of my machine be to blame or can I somehow speed it up? Athlon X2 5600+ 2Gb RAM Running from 500GB...
