I like your thinking 61........ Wonder if my pension pot will stretch to a nice Cerbera or possibly another Tuscan so I can grow old disgracefully (and loudly) Lovely motor car Sir - well done.:cool:

1) Four-post lift to put in the garage. 2) Garage to put the four-post lift into. 3) Set of new calipers and coil-overs for my current car. 4) Some new batteries for my 7D. Simple soul aren't I?

Actually Jon it really is - as long as your heater is up to the job. A lot depends on whether the designer got it right in the first place and the draughts are kept to a minimum, but currently I'm snug with the lid off and the side windows up - keep it above 30 and the rain goes right over the...

Anita - Carbon Monoxide detector - same type is fine. Just a standard battery operated one from any of the DIY sheds will do - just follow the mounting instructions on the pack. Replace the battery every year. Dave - might see you about. We're just back from a week at Ullswater in our...

Another Vertex 300 AW user here. Excellent solution to the space and comfort connundrum.

Thanks for that Gary - will bear that in mind, should the need arise. :thumbs:

I'd be interested to know too - keep us informed Gary if you don't mind.

Thanks a lot guys. That's just what I needed to know. Now to get out and use it .........

Morning all, Just picked up a lovely 5D mk1 at the weekend and want a bit of reassurance that a teleconverter can be used without fouling the mirror assembly ? Just putting together a bag with all the full-frame stuff and segregating the crop lenses so that incompatible stuff is kept...

GGS (or GCS) glass screen protector - fits very neatly and does a good job. Not too expensive either if you get them off the 'bay. Plastic film type are pants in comparison.

Hmmm, thanks for the replies guys. Looks a bit of a challenge doesn't it ? Not willing to put more into the camera than it is actually worth so I think I'll just return it to the back of the cupboard from whence it came. Thanks for the info.

I've got a Canon 300D lurking at the back of the cupboard that is in excellent nick but it is unlikely to find a new home as there are so many 400's and 450's about at great prices. So, I was wondering how easy it would be to convert it to IR? Is it simply a case of adding a filter or does...
