These are fairly standard resolution.

I used a 37" LCD monitor as my second screen for movies, works very well but its at least 1.5 metres away from my desktop. Basically the bigger the display the further it should be away from you as sitting too close to one isn't quite a good idea. I'd say the biggest one should get as a...

I have the Tokina 11-16 and have tried the 10-20, I like the 10-20 for its better range and thus versatility. The Sigma did seemed a little soft in some sample shots that I took but we're talking about 10mm here! Build wise I don't seem much of a difference between the two except that the...

When you say KEF do you mean these? http://www.amazon.com/KEF-iQ1-Bookshelf-Black-Ash/dp/B000EWGI00 glitch, I've seen these on the net and they have great reviews. Still want to hear them in person. Right now its the Creative T40 vs the Acoustic Research.

I once owned a 2.1 Swan speakers which was out of this world and very very affordable. I wish to get something similar to connect to my PC for movies and music. Can anyone advice? Thanks!

I have the Tokina 11-16 and its on my camera 85% of the time (also have a 50mm) :

How is this phone btw? I've been looking at this an Omnia, liked the Omnia for its flexibility and customisation interface. Not heard much about the Renoir. Remembered the Viewty which was quite bad as a 5mp camera phone.

I'll give this a shot as I'm 10 minutes away from Big Ben on bike and 5 minutes from London Eye. I could take photos of these every night if I wanted to! Area : Central London (Zone 1) sex : Male Type of photography : All types (11-16mm, 50mm) Dislikes : I'm not too experienced with...

Ta mate, this sports store is having a massive discount so £40 are now £15, reckon this is a good deal. BTW nice Myspace page.

Thanks mate, that's what I was looking for. Never heard of Carlton and think I'm not worthy of the carbon shaft rackets (probably cost a bomb too).

No worries, yeah I typed $ instead of £. Yeah looking around but still new to the place. I just need some advice on rackets and stuff and hopefully the sport is popular enough to find regular games.

What do you mean UK based crowd? you mean like you're all over the UK and not just London? Throw me a line matey! Yeah I thought I'd try my luck here as there might be some photographers shooting badminton photos or something. I have tried it before and was blardy hard.

Hi folks, I got into badminton last Christmas and am kind of enjoying it but have no idea on the kind of racket I need to buy. To describe my fitness, I'm a former basketball hoodie but obviously due to age I don't have the leap to dunk anymore. Lets just say I'm fitter than most but can...

Thanks mate, but for the Tamron you mean from 17mm up right? The 16-85 sounds perfect and couples with my 11-16 but its not 2.8 and I feel it might be like using the 18-55 all over again (except with the greater range). If that was the case then I might as well go for the 18-105 VR or...

Hi folks, I'd like some advice regarding a replacement for my Nikkor kit lens. I have a Tokina 11-16mm and I love the f2.8. I have been looking to replace my 18-55 for a long time now (had it for over 4 years) and was going to get the 18-200, however I think I caught the 2.8 bug and wish to...
