    If you're looking for a top loader, I find the ThinkTank Digital Holster 50 works really well. Mike

    Bargain? EF 200mm f2.8L

    Thanks for the heads-up guys. I'm covered on these focal lengths anyway but maybe we've saved others some frustration and wasted time. Mike

    Bargain? EF 200mm f2.8L

    Canon 24-70mm f2.8 on a crop?

    Digital Grey Cards

    Just bought one yesterday by Colour Confidence. One foot square, it's made of fabric, grey on the front and white on the back. It comes in a small fabric bag and springs open like a reflector. Seems sturdy enough. £15 Mike

    Air Plane photography at newcastle airport

    The green arrow is a good location - used it several times with my 100-400 and 70-200. It's outside the airport boundary on a public road with a decent size verge for parking. Mike...
