I bought both LR3 and CS5 extended educational versions about 5 weeks ago at the same time and they accepted it no problem

Tim Your pics are 1st class and your comments appreciated, I might explore this further Best Regards

when I said that IQ and AF was poor with the sigma 120-400mm beyond 350mm, I meant IQ and AF was poor with the sigma 120-400mm beyond 350mm (up to 300mm I found it to be quite satisfactory, I have used other tele lens (zooms and prime) including a medium term borrowed Canon 300 f2.8L (which I...

Im having a bit of dilema in this regard, Ive been advised against the 100-400mm but am on a budget so cant afford a 300 2.8L, I had a sigma 120-400mm and used it last season for motorcycle racing, performance was OK up to about 300mm but by 350mm the image quality seemed to tail off and the...

Ive been using a 5D mk1 now for approx 6 months and just love it, my 50d is hardly ever used now (only keeping it for the motor cycle racing). Had problems with dust on the sensor so had it cleaned and have more or less left my 24-70 f2.8L on since, the image quality with this combo is just...

I had a chance yesterday to play around with rf 602 that a friend of mine has which he hasnt used (Nikon) and this seems to work so I ordered a set from ebay last night + flash difusser from elemental, looking forward to getting new toys! Many thanks for your comments, greatly appreciated

Id love to develop my skills in this arena with a view to doing some MTB and outdoor portraits. I have one EX580 and have to get some gear, can this (or the appropriate canon IT trigger) be used as a master with cheaper units from the likes or sigma or nissin, or am I going to have to splash...

This is brilliant!, giving it a bump so I can find it again later

Yes, have you contact details, can you post them please?

Many thanks

Ive just had a look at the Pen E-P2 bundled with the panasonic pancake lens at SRS, its £999 "eek" thats a lot more than the GF1. I really would like a compact(ist) camera that can achieve quality images for carrying around, I always end up leaving my SLR at home and wishing id brought it +...

No spanner, in fact the opposite, I had written the pens off unto I read your comments, I guess I need to research a bit more and get both models int hands Comments greatly appreciated

now this gets more complicated! very fair points you make here and very interesting to see comments from a pen owner

Folks, very interesting reading, Im still leaning towards the GF1 on the basis of faster AF, and great reports re quality of the panasonic pancake lens, I havent had the opportunity to hold or play with either model thats why I raised the thread. Many thanks for the response
