Thank you for the info. I've been to Tamron's website and registered my lens now :)

Hi I'm sure I read somewhere that Tamron offered a 5 year warranty on their lenses. Does anyone know if that is right because in the one I just bought (Sony fit 18-200mm) and the warranty card only says 1 year. Any one know about the 5 year warranty offer?

Hi Looking for some help! I'm thinking about buying the Tamron 70-300mm. Heard good things about it....and it's cheap! Any one got any thoughts on IQ etc and what the focus speed is like? I've got the A33 so hoping that the 7fps will work nicely with it. Thanks in advance for any...

My little tribute pic to Steve Jobs. Not a day goes by that I don't use my iPhone or iPod. Genius. RIP. http://www.flickr.com/photos/xanaduflipper/6216707261/

Remember to some southerners, anywhere past the Watford Gap is 'Up North'! ;)

Tagging the photos always helps.

I normally use Park Cameras, Devon Cameras or Amazon. Had good service from them all (and they're in the UK! ;))

I had the same experience with 'Camera World' (www.cameraworld.co.uk). First time I used then the item came within a couple of days but I then ordered a lens from them - the website said in stock but when it didn't show I called them and was told it was out of stock due to the Japanese...

I always shoot in colour then convert to B&W afterwards. As the camera doesn't know how to cope with black or white as they aren't 'colours', if you use a B&W setting what you tend to get is lots of grey!

Hello :) Don't worry, mine hasn't been out of auto for long either. These forums are a great place to learn/pick up tips though.

Still come up quite a lot, my mum & dad live in Longhoughton. Nothing beats the Northumbrian scenery for photography :)

I hope he has camera insurance, but he may be able to claim for any accidental damage on his gear on his house insurance in any case. Oh and by the way - I'm from Alnwick too :)

Great idea and so simple! I'll get some silica gel packs to take skiing this January. Can't wait to try out the panorama setting on the A33 in the Alps :)

It's not a shoulder bag but I use the lowepro flipside 200 backpack which holds my A33 with 18-200 attached, 18-55mm & 28mm prime + other bits n' bobs. They do a larger size, think it's the flipside 400 which might suit your needs.

thanks, probably won't go for the 'manbag' option though (a) I'm not a man ;) and (b) want something with camera bag padding so it's nice and protected. will check our the Lowepro though :cheers:
