Ill try and find out what it is for you!

Thank you all for your replies and info. Ill pass it on and keep you updated on how he gets on!

Apologies if this is the wrong forum and perhaps someone might be able to move for me if required. My girlfriends uncle has an Leica M3 and various kit he is considering selling and asked for my advice. Unfortunately I am purely digital and do not have a clue. I was wondering if anyone could...

Taken the plunge and ordered a 5d mark iii from panamoz! And while there I appeared to have unintentionally clicked on a 135mm f2 at same time! Whoops! Can't wait!

Just a quick update bought myself the ds212 and and 2 no. 2tb hard drives! After a day and a half I managed to get it all up and running (including setting up port forwarding on my router (Neil you would have been proud of me!) I did find it difficult but now it's set up its working great and...

Gigabit Ethernet will be my next lesson request another time have seen the words a lot with nas but again don't understand! Looks like I'll be spending some money tomorrow on the synology and drives! Will update on how I get on! Really appreciate your advice and explanations!

Brilliant Neil thanks you'd make a good teacher! Starting to click now! Think perhaps the + version would be too much if the rest of my kit is weak. Would you know the model etc of the Samsung drives you bought? Don't worry about it if the info is tucked away somewhere. I see there are...

Thanks Neil! Was bit concerned they would be rubbish ones! Sorry very green with nas. Would you recommend any drives? Also bit concerned the + version might be bit of overkill for me. What I'm aiming for is storage and my family being able to remotely access my photos. I have to date about...

Thanks for your replys! Was looking at online 1. Due to laziness of having to back up on to hard drives then taking one off site 2. Cost of multiple hard drives capable of taking all the pics 3. Being able to access the pictures from anywhere. Hadn't considered the home network server will...

Hi Everyone I was wondering if anyone could recommend a online storage facility. Doesn't need to be a photo sharing one just somewhere I can store my jpeg and raw files without reducing their size. Looking for at least 500GB. Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone Am having the the age old decision of whether its worth upgrading my camera or glass (or possibly both) I have a Canon 550d and a 24-105mm L. I mostly take landscapes and pictures of my 3yr old daughter Fancied the 5d mark ii for the better low light capabilities (taking...

Is it worth you hiring them and giving them a go? I was recently tempted by the 70-200 F2.8 non is and hired it for the weekend but found it surprisingly heavy. Really glad I tried it first before spending all that money

No unfortunately not but is supposed to be mint and comes with a battery grip and couple of memory cards

Thanks for that Gunnar that's what I was thinking but couldn't decide if it was going to be a major improvement!
