I paid £40 quid for Calumet to do it to get a couple of dust bunnies out but it came back with like loads of droplet marks all over it. Never again. £15 for 4 swabs and some cleaner off Amazon is MUCH better :)

Well, I'd start by losing the emotion and aggression in your other thread, then I'd learn not to jump into other people's threads to have a gripe with someone you feel has wronged you in some way. Once you've done that you might get some tips and inspiration from the people on here...

Went in to Jessops before Simon, it's been sent off now for repair. She said it'll probably cheaper to replace it than actually pay someone 3 or 4 hours to work on it so either way isn't bad. 6-8 weeks though!!! What'll I do without my big lens :( Cheers for the response guys

Im not sure Simon, probably not with Jessops but it should have a years manufacturers guarantee?

Yeahh I agree Chris, not good after 9 months is it. It's been well looked after too. I bought one 9 months ago and it didn't work so they replaced it with this and now it's packed up. Jessops will probably charge me more than I paid just to look at it so I think I need to have a shop around

The gold square things on the lens that connect to pins on the camera body? If so I've just given them a wipe and it's not worked =/

How do I do that Andrew?

Anyone guys? :)

Hi guys, I have a Sony Alpha A290 and a Tamron 70-300mm lens. I used it on Saturday fine, and I put it on my shelf, went out with it today and it won't auto-focus properly :S. It will do at around the 70-100 end but at 100ish-300 it won't autofocus. It'll stay blurred but will still take a...

Hi guys, I'm quite new to photography and have a couple of questions about lenses. Hope someone can help :) I have a sony alpha a290. Whats the cheapest way of getting fisheye/wide angle because I enquired in Jessops and they quoted me 400 quid which is more than the camera! Second...

Hi guys, I know sharpness in aircraft is hard for alot of people to achieve. I'm very hit and miss really even in great conditions. Is there nack to it? I do try to keep my shutter speed as low as possible and have a reasonably steady hand. Cheers Lewis

Cheers mate thats cleared alot up for me! I definitely need to give this camera a try :) Cheers steve, that picture is fantastic :)

Guys thanks for the info! I'll deffo have to have a play with it! It does look complicated and I'm just learning. I've been taking photos for years but only just recently got a DSLR from a bridge camera which is when all the technical stuff comes in! Heres a couple more pics: Agfa...
