Thank you all for your feedback.

More specifically for anyone using a home made rig. Have you ever found that the suction pads you are using have marked the paintwork?

You could try shopping around for an old stock FVL36. I got one from Jessops for £36 ;-) The 42 is better if you can stretch to it. I've not used a 58 so couldn't comment. I have a 56 which works very well. The focus assist is really usefull and both the 36 & 56 work superbly via wireless...

Noise handling with the A100 is an aquired skill. There are many schools of thought, including those that think it's unusable over iso 400. Personally I don't subscribe to this idea. The A100 is perfectly capable of producing good results at high iso and it records a staggering amount of detail...

That's my point. In this instance it's irrelevant whether you lead the class or are just an also ran. The important thing is the class. Sony have been been busily filling their lens range from the bottom up, which makes sense because they've been pulling in the consumers upgrading from the P&S...

Possibly, reinforced by the fact that the latest flagship P&S from Sony has a G lens, but I not so sure. As I understand it the white G lenses are still being made for them by Minolta, so they are paying them licensing. Sony and CZ already have a long standing arrangement, so they may have...

Spoiler for some new Sony lenses at PMA: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-10186271-39.html And as I have suspect for a while now, the G is silver. I think there is a theme here and a new hierarchy with G as the lower pro grade and CZ as the highest.

I guess they were probably thinking "We need a colour that will reflect the suns rays and reduce expansion whilst also providing a corporate identity which distinguishes our product from all of the other white lenses on the market"

I have one of these on my A700 and I'm very happy with it. It provides excellent protection, doesn't affect the preview quality and doesn't look like I've glued an piece of tat to the back of my camera. :thumbs:

Ivan Denisovich used to say exactly the same thing. My how he must have laughed on his way to the Gulag. So, define "wrong" for us.

is probably the Stasi.... http://www.itproportal.com/articles/2009/01/05/uk-police-now-allowed-hack-your-pc/1/

Enjoy, I love mine.

Ah! That well known offence of "failing to respect your authoreetay". :lol: Don't get me wrong, I do not envy the job of the police one bit. The world is full of a**eholes and you must get to see the worst of the worst of them. But don't you think that when Joe Public gets stopped and...

The knife is irrelevant. Yes, there is a whole other debate there which is very valid.... When does a monopod become a weapon? When does a car become a weapon? When does a bottle become a weapon? When does a pocket knife become a weapon? But that is not the question here. If the police had...
