dazza, you've nailed it there. That is a good answer. I take pictures for pleaseure and for profit. And the ones I take for pleasure largely are better quality, more arty and more keepable than the ones I do for work.

Didn't queen overtake the Beatles recently as the most successful band ever? To give Queen songs to a bunch of hopefuls is only ever going to prove disappointing. Queen have four decades of experience, Freddy Mercury was an outstanding performer. How can they compete? Stacey and the twins...

I'd guess it stands for Wide, Normal and Short Telephoto, which would probably mean 35mm, 50mm and 85-105mm, and I would guess, 'Use W position' would be the mode to use, when it is in auto

Canon UK, Fixation or Lehmann's will all fix this common problem. Not sure of their exact location, so you'll probably have to post it

I also have an old ESO1000F, keep wanting to get rid of, but I'd rather have the camera than the £20 its worth. Yes it will take all EF lenses, but not EF-S. If there is a convertor out there for these lenses, then they will work although I'd guess focus and aperture would have to be set...

In fifth gear going downhill, i get 999mpg
