If your pockets are very deep I hear the Canon 14mm II is worth looking at:)

THIS is a flash bracket! I was interested until I saw the price!

That's what I'm doing at the moment. Just starting to regret selling my 40D as the extra reach was useful at times. I found I wasn't using it much so I sold it but now have found that on a couple of occasions I'm missing it. TC is a Canon

Cheers for the replies. Many thanks for the diagram and explanation Stewart, it was the 1.6 squared that had me confused. So looks like I'm possibly in the market for a cropped body again!

I mainly shoot landscapes and portraits. For this I use my 1Ds MkII and am very happy. I occasionally shoot sports, my kids at sports day etc. and indoor events, school play etc. I recently sold my 40D as I wasn't using it much. I now find that my 200mm f/2.8 isn't long enough. Using a 1.4TC...

Has anybody had any experience of using these speedlight softboxes and how do they compare to the Lastolite Ezybox? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/24-60cm-EZ-Fold-Hot-Shoe-Softbox-Kit-for-Speedlights_W0QQitemZ150349395009QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_StudioEquipment_RL?hash=item230185b441...

Used them a couple of times. I have no problem recommending them.

As has been said, if you're a buyer neither of the above offer you any protection. For higher value purchases I only pay via BT and ask for a name, address and land line phone number. I then call the seller and make sure everything sounds genuine. For very high value purchases I only pay cash on...

Yeah, but I'd sooner know for sure beforehand. I don't want the hassle if there's going to be a problem. So would like to know if anyone's had personal experience?

Nobody got anything to say, good or bad? If I go and collect, how can I tell from the box if the body is UK sourced?
