That's pretty much standard for the Guildford club scene. Only 2 and they're both *****. At least we've got the nice pubs and bars to fall back on :thumbs:

If it's of any interest to you, I've got a mint A200 for sale here: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=215764 Well within your budget, leaving more money for the inevitable accessory lust that follows buying a first camera :nuts: It's built in the same vein as the...

Hi Sean, Such a good idea for a project, keep it up as I'm enjoying reading :) On a side note, I may have been seeing things but I'm sure I saw you out in Guildford on Monday night?? In Casino. Nearly said something but held back just incase I was wrong - it was dark and I was drunk :bonk:

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=215764 [/Blatant plug] :P It really is an excellent camera for the money though.

Thanks for that Alan, really helpful advice. I mainly shoot wildlife (generally not fast-moving subjects though) and landscape, and now that I'm in London more I'd like to do more street photography, which I would feel more comfortable doing with a less conspicuous camera, as well as it being...

Second hand 40D?

Right, so I have a decision to make...do I or do I not jump ship and get a Panny GF1? :help: My current kit consists of: Sony A200 18-70 kit lens 75-300 kit lens Tamron 90mm macro HVL-F42AM flash I love the camera. I think it was excellent value for money and have got some lovely pics...

Thanks for the comments :thumbs: Think the reddish streak may be your monitor as have checked it out on my laptop and iMac and can't see anything :thinking:

Thanks for all the comments guys :) It's a close-up of the needles on a pine tree, taken with Tamron 90mm Macro. Have now switched from photobucket to tinypic and resizing seems fine, I've enlarged the poetry picture so you can see it without squinting now! Have misplaced my USB cable for...

Hey guys, been offline for a while now and just came on to see people starting up 52's for the new year. Hope it's not too late for me to join in with the themed ones, if it is then just let me know :thumbs: As you can tell I've never done this before :P Playing catch up a bit, so will hopefully...

I'll have a punt with some macro :)

I have an A200 as well and the first extra lens I bought for it was the Sony 75-300mm f4.5-5.6. It's a great quality lens for the price, with build quality and image quality (according to the many reviews I read before purchasing) higher than the Tamron/Sigma alternatives. I picked it up for...

If you don't mind me asking, what problem does your wife have with you buying used glass? Does she know a good deal about photography herself? If not, I'd suggest making your own decision about whether or not to buy used, as it could mean you end up with a fantastic quality lens in mint...

I bought a Panasonic FZ18 from ebay last week and it turned out the seller lived just down the road from me, so she dropped it in to my work the next morning and I paid cash. Lovely :) Its a great little camera, really good build quality pretty much all around and the image quality is as...
