Really cheeky question..

[Borats Baby]

I was wondering if anyone had a nifty fifty I could borrow for a few days.

Also a tiltable flash gun.

I'm going somewhere on the 6th Dec and these items would be really usefull. My camera is a Canon 400D. Obviously someone local would be best as I wouldn't want anyones kit to potentially get damaged in the post.

Now before anyone goes off on one and tells me to go and buy my own, or what if I run off with it and never come back, I'm only asking, if you can't or don't want to help me then thats fine, please just don't flame me..

Where am I going ? I'm a member on a hifi forum and were having a meet on the 6th and I would like to get some nice piccies of the day. I've seen the results from the nifty, coupled with an adjustable flash and reckon it is the ideal combo for the job, only problem is I can't afford them, hence my plee.

So, can you help me ?

No worries if you can't ! It's not the end of the world.

Think you need to update your camera bag on here, no mention of the 400D!

You can borrow my 50mm f1.8 if you don't find one closer, although I'll have to get it back off a bloke at work first!

HiFi ? well why didnt you say? I am a geek Tog/Hifi buff too (arcam) Sorry.... just wanted say .I dont think the Fifty will give better results than your standard lens , get some good light/angles ect ... and enjoy the banter mate.

 

[Keltic Ice Man]

lol, I always forget the north stretches so far.

Im in Carlisle, BUT if no one closer comes up, I often pass Warrington so would have no prob lending you the f1.8

 

[pearce_jj]

If you were nearer and insured - no problem !

 

[Borats Baby]

I'm somewhat choked by the amount of responses.

Please, I dont expect anyone to go out of their way to drop stuff off for me. I'll struggle to collect stuff during the day, but evening is no problem.

If you don't find a flash closer to home then you're welcome to borrow a 550EX.....it's around £5 by post.
