Latopsdirect do come up with the occasional brilliant deal - I was looking for a new laptop for precisely the same reasons as Prof , I had bought a reconditioned Lenovo T410 and thinking it was ready to pack up after 3 years so I started looking for a new one , I had inherited a bit of money so...

We're having an extension built onto our old croft house here on Skye - to access the house you need to go down quite a steep path and before the clearing work was carried out there was a path going to the left from halfway down the path which remains - the first bit of the frame has gone up and...

Thanks , John - I understand now and you've given me plenty of food for thought - as I said I am more than happy with my camera but I should get better results with better lenses and most of the better glass are ' fx ' - My only ' fx ' lens is a Tamron 90mm DI VC USD which I admit I haven't used...

Hi Guys , My interests are mostly Landscape though I'm happy to photograph anything - I bought my first DSLR 5 years ago , a Nikon D7000 - I'd had to leave my job due to disability and desperately in need of a hobby I bought a Nikon F80 first to see if I actually liked photography - I fell in...
