    ebook reader

    A couple of month with the WiFi off. I think a lot of people miss the point of an eink device. Its designed to mimic paper and print which will always be a lot easier on the eyes to read for long periods than a ips or lcd screen. I have an Asus Tablet which I sometimes use for reading the...

    Just finished The Naked God, the final part in The Nights Dawn trilogy. Highly recommended sci-fi. Started on Girl with the dragon tattoo, for a change of genre.

    Sigma

    The lens its self is (only) about 1.7kg so just over 2.3kg with a body and the weight it pretty well balanced towards the body end of the lens. As long as you aren't holding it in front of you for long sessions it very usable handheld, the OS works a treat. The Auto focus also works well in...

    canon or nikon

    SLRHut

    Saw that, opted to get the same from WEX. I'm a firm believer that if it looks too good to be true it usually is. Granted I may miss out on the odd cracker but it significantly reduces the chance of getting ripped off ;)

    Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3

    I'm sure you would have enjoyed either, I've been in the same boat and last night ordered the 150-500mm, decided that 1/3 of a stop difference was less important than the extra 100mm. I look forward to seeing some of your results :)

    Bag for a long lens + body for walking.

    Right after much pondering I'm about the pull the trigger on a Sigma 150-500mm lens, but I've decided I'll need a different bag for while I'm out and about. I'm not a gym type so I tend to keep a bit of fitness by hitting some of the local walks regularly and I don't tend to take much gear...
