    Canon 50mm 1.4 missing tiny screws

    Hi Can anyone help me with this problem, I was shooting a pet shoot today with the above lens and half way through the front ring fell off swiftly followed by the focussing ring. On closer inspection two of the screws are missing from the front ring. They are tiny screws and would be really...

    A4 Landscape photo book?

    Can't make up my mind: 5D MkII vs. 6D

    I have a 7D and a 5D Mk11 - the 5D is my no 1 and I wouldn't swap it for anything lower than a Mk111. However, it does occasionally have issues with focussing - only that one of the focussing points decides not work not that it doesn't focus at all. I shoot weddings and yes very rarely this...

    Technical ability or created skills

    I feel that creative ability is a natural occurrence it is not something that can be learnt - it is something that is within you. It is the same with artists, not everyone can draw and paint but those that can and do it well are the ones that produce the images that we want to look at.

    Sturdy point & shoot for a 5 year old?

    I have a Fuji finepix A607 that you can have for the price of postage It has a 128mb xd card in it plus a 8mb that came with it. Think its about a 3mp so should be ok for a 5 year old. Let me know if you're interested :-)

    Help with final decision needed!

    As long as you are happy that with the 2x 40D's you can still achieve what you are after then go for the new lenses
