I have bought all my recent stuff from them. I can't comment on delivery as I go to Norwich on business occasionally and always buy it directly from their showroom. It is quite a large building and worth a visit, so not a 'fly by night operation'! They have always been very helpful and given...

Ahh... Your way is the best. :thumbs: Nigel

Identical matched drives will perform better than drives from different manufacturers. Even if you use mirrored drives you should still back them up to yet another location. I have seen both drives corrupt in a mirrored pair - a number of times! Raid 5 seems more robust but the hardware costs...

Thanks for taking the time out to welcome me! Nigel

Thanks AndrewC for the "Rob Galbraith's" site tip. It will enable me to get better value for money from my CF card purchases and I have bookmarked it. I burst out laughing when I read "spray and pray type of photography" :lol: Nigel

Thanks for your welcome, it does seem a friendly place on TP. I hope I can contribute. Ta Nigel

Hi – I’ve been lurking here for a few months and only recently registered. My apologies for the delay in posting here. I would like to thank the knowledgeable and skilled Togs contributing to the forums. I’ve learnt a great deal from their postings. Your tips have saved me money :woot: –...

I use Plus.net - been with them for years. When needed the customer service has been great! They even have a web camera in their service centre so you can watch them at work! They were that good BT bought them! So are not going to disappear overnight and are well underpinned. However, for good...

Stewart, I had realised the posted photos were not 100% crops showing the softness. However, I was completely reassured by your previous posts as I respect your knowledge and experience, so stopped being concerned about the lens, put it on the camera and went out and used it. So thanks to...

Damn... I drive past it most days! I thought it looked familiar! In my defence I don't get to see it from the water side. You have certainly shown it off well! Regards Nigel

Ah... yes ... the 85/1.4 ... I will have a look at it, as... the Canon 85/F1.2 was a strong draw before I eventually chose the dark side ;) Nigel

Re: "I have used this lens on a D700 FX recently and fully intend to buy one. See examples..." Edward, Thanks for the examples. I particularly like No1... Where was it taken? Ta Nigel

HoppyUk that looks like a good shopping list! Ah, the never ending black money pit beckons... :eek: I took the lens out into the gloom we have had all day and thought to myself 'I really need a bag for this' and 'a decent tripod would be handy too' and so it begins.....

I realise that Cyclone. I'm just being picky/careful. I promised myself a new camera after working late the whole of August with no days off at all. So had the money but no time to spend it. (note to self - I must get a life! :shake:) Still doing too many hours now... sigh ... home last night...

Ok, ok, :lol: I get the message.... Thanks for all your replies (great shots Hacker!) I will go stick it on the camera and use it rather than contemplating my navel (ta Stewart). Not great weather for it down here on the Essex/Suffolk border, very overcast. Now I better try to...
