I'm testing out the Sierra beta on my 2009 Mac pro. So far no problems. Everything seems to work very well.

Hi jockwav, I have the Canon 2X Extender Mk2 that i use on the 70-200 f/2.8 is mk1, and it gives great shots, slightly soft at the edges, but if you stop it down 1 stop,this crisps up. I have used this extender when i had the f4 version of the lens, but found it too restrictive stop wise, and...

Thanks for the kind offer re the meet up in London, sorry i cant make it, as i am recovering myself from a heart attack that i had recently.and still waiting for a triple bypass op. So im housebound at the moment.

Hi Nigel, Hope your keeping well, I sort of recognise the first shot, is it quite close to both of us?

I just looked on the Sunwayfoto website, seems like they havn't produced an L plate for the 7D with grip as yet.

Now all i need for my 7D mk2 is the appropriate Arca/Swiss fitting L plate/bracket to go with the camera plus the grip. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

I had a looked at all the options, took in the discussions above, read the review of the Meike grip, and was just about to pull the trigger on the E-bay deal, when i decided to have a look around for the bank holiday sales. Seems like hdewcameras has the best new deal on it at £155 plus free...

Thanks for that Bob, I'm still undecided whether to go for the Canon grip, ideally would like to have a look at the Mieke grip "In my hands" as it were, but there are no local shops that stock them in this end of Kent. Ah well i have until pay day to decide.

Seems like HDEW are doing a bank holiday sale on the 6D at £795.00 until 1st Sep! http://www.hdewcameras.co.uk/canon-6d-body-only-1167-p.asp

Thanks for that Trevor, thinking of going for this deal: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111653270669?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT If im going to get a grip, might as well have the other stuff for a small price more.

Would that be the newer MK-7DRII, the one with the built in wifi? could you tell me how sturdy is the construction, especially the baseplate/tripod socket please.

Can anyone recommend an after-market grip, or is it better to bite the bullet financially, and go for the BG-E16? The reason for asking is i am not sure what the quality/materials are like with the non-canon type of grips, in all my Canons, i have always bought the original grips. I also intend...

How about starting a "Windows 10 Problems and fixes" thread in this section, it would probably be a help for those of us struggling with the upgrade.

This is a discussion thread for all the gear heads and addicted G.A.S (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) people to confess there sins and tell the world their stories of woe and hair pulling, of not being able to speak with like minded photographic shopaholics since the new ruling has come into place...

Sorry to hear that your not feeling too well, good luck with the mouse. Glad it arrived ok.
