Oooh yes, it is awesome in it's addictiveness :)

Slightly different way of doing it would be to use a braided wire cable to secure the camera to the strap - basically a backup if the carabiner or connector fails. Sorry for the awful iphone pics, but you get the idea. I actually use a climbing stopper with a couple of s-biners...not sure...

Have you looked at the Think Tank Retro 20? They also do purpose lens changign bags as well.

My 85mm gets way more use nowadays than my 50mm simply because the IQ is better, but as mentioned it can be on the close side - but I like a tight crops so it kind of suits what I like anyway so it's a matter of taste. If I could only have one of them I'd probably go for the 50mm though....

Goes to show what you can do with some sticky back plastic and a couple of lamps....time to get all Blue Peter I think :)

I totally agree. I provide feedback where I think I can add something rather than for the sake of it, I find it makes you think a bit more which benefits you just as much as the OP....and I can find bad photos just as interesting as good ones, if I didn't I'd have to delete most of mine ;) It...

Agreed but most folks don't like to cause offence so it's easier to say nothing rather than post negative feedback. I think most forum users have seen even the best intentioned crit end up with internet war. Personally I only comment on photos that interest me, sometimes the crit is positive...
