    Canon Spare Parts...Help!

    I've lost the 'Extension System Terminal' cover from the side of my EOS 1D Mk III. Does anybody know of somebody in the UK who can supply me with another one? Here's hoping.............

    You're right. No use at all, but thanks for taking the time to post anyway.

    Photoshop / Vista Issues?

    Has anybody got experience of whether Photoshop 7 works with Vista 64bit or should I go for 32bit? Anybody know whether Adobe Premiere 6.5 will work with 64bit please?

    Canon 28-70 f2.8 L vs. Canon 24-70 f2.8 L

    I can't think of any reason in the days of cut-price equipment retail why anybody would contemplate buying a secondhand professional, and hence invariably well-used, lens that might have been dropped, kicked around etc. Buy the 24-70. I did.

    TFT Screens

    Having finally decided to upgrade my screen, I'm confused. Several screens: Lacie 324, Eizo Flexscan S2411, Eizo S2111W & NEC Spectraview 2090 & 2190 all get good reviews, have (fairly) similar prices but widely different brightness and contrast rates. Are these rates that important? An NEC...

    Canon 300/2.8L IS

    Has anybody bought one these very recently and if so, where did you get it from? I've had one on order since 29 April and am told that Canon have supply problems with none of them in the UK. How can this be? Is it not a simple matter of putting them on a 'plane in Japan and unloading them...

    Sensor Cleaning

    I'm bewildered at the diversity of Sensor Cleaning Kits on the market. Having tried several 'professional' cleans at 40 quid a throw and found spots left, I've decided to have a go myself. The thing is, I'm a little nervous of sticking pads, swabs and the like inside my cameras. Are there...

    Error 99 in EOS 1DS MKII

    The lens has a UV filter. The Camera's only had 5500 or so actuations so I'd assume it should be okay as its been well looked after. I had an old EOS600 which sat in the airing cupboard for three weeks to dry out! With a trip to Sri Lanka, not to mention wedding jobs, I'm hoping it works...

    A Canon 17-40 F4L is weatherproof, is it not?

    Error 99 in EOS 1DS MKII

    My 1DS MkII got a bit wet yesterday at an airshow and then started playing tricks culminating in the infamous 'Error 99' code. I thought EOS 1 series bodies were supposed to be weatherproof. Admittedly it got quite wet, but my EOS 1D MKIII got just as wet and was fine. Has anybody got any...

    EOS 1D Mk3 vs EOS 1DS Mk2

    Just a thought: Does anybody have experience of image quality of these in comparison to each other. On pixels, then the DS Mk2 should give the better picture but the D Mk3 is 14 bit. Upon launch, Canon said that the "EOS 1D MK3 will give better image quality than any previous Canon camera."...
