I spent years with two inhalers, preventer and reliever. Several years back we changed to one inhaler, the Symbicort Turbohaler and I've been happy with it since. The technology has moved from pressurised "blow it out" to non-pressurised "suck it out" so the technology has responded to the...

I know the weather has gone a bit cold of late but all the same:mad: I know they're not what you'd call a big battery but flippin' 'eck:confused: So these are pre-owned batteries bought with pre-owned cameras and frankly, the power reserve is a disappointment to me: if I take a 4 mile two hour...

Cracking work sir! And though I'm probably not your next customer, do you sell your repaired cameras here or? If at EBay how do we find you?

Having some years ago contacted my wife's opticians - she'd been with them only a few months but was very impressed by their professionalism - because I'd got a floater which was like a black lace hanky drifting round I was quickly assessed and pretty much sent immediately to the local hospital...

me too!

The company chairlady with her full account won nowt this week, I got £175: I really must see how close my account is to being at the maximum. (It used to be full but I leaked some into the watch fund!)

I fear that when it comes to wellies "cheapish" and "comfortable" are uncommon bedfellows unless you have very slender feet. My feet are almost as wide as they are long and cheapish wellies will invariably be narrowish. So I shop wellies like boots and shoes, for wide fit and I'm a long-term Le...

The end of my working life was spent in job centres and at times the stench was appalling. At one location I used to ask out loud for claimants to check the soles of their shoes because, to me at least, it smelled like something a goose would leave behind for people to walk in. Yuk!

Can I offer a slightly different thought? You seem to be wanting your images to "pop" more than they do currently, if so, 1. Colour balance: your M43 camera will have plenty of in-built facilities, image styles, dial settings and what have you. Have a try with a different colour balance...

Well 90% of the film gear has gone (can't get rid of it all can I now?) so with what I hope is only a temporarily debilitating shoulder injury keeping me away from heavy DSLR FF kit the time seemed right to explore the fringes of M43 kit. I've tangled with 'sonic Lumix gear before so somehow...

I buy my Royal Mail postage online and have been so doing for maybe five years: it's easier and quicker. I elect to drop off at my local half-a-mile away post office. I'm not waiting in for a service for which there is a two or three hour wait window. I'm aware that somewhere in the Royal Mail...

Perhaps there's an element of "spray and pray" in both fields? It occurred to me that the arms length camera hold supports the quick rotation "look at me I'm a ninfluencer making content" shot.

Over the years I transitioned from the original 5D to the 5D2. In the past year and just prior to a major lifestyle shift which means I now have far fewer outings with a camera I upgraded to the 5D3: I have better ISO performance options but otherwise I'm not sure I gained much. What am I...

Welcome back sir. I bounced in today for the first time in weeks if not months. BRW can you see the Marketplace forums listed in the index? I can't and don't know if it's just me....

Well I'm ploughing through the manual and, if it's there, it's under a string of words not including "shoot without lens" or anything quite so helpfully obvious. Right now I'm missing the layout of the Custom functions under the 5DII' s menu structure where there were lists of custom functions...
