Hehe, nice shot! Nicely in focus and the colours look great. :thumbs: I love Demoiselles, they look so pretty, but close up they are a bit evil! :)

Last year, my wife and I walked 2660 miles from the Mexican/US border, through California, Oregon and Washington and in to Canada. It was the adventure of a lifetime. Physically and mentally the toughest thing we have ever done, but oh so worth it! It has taken me a little while to put...

Wow, thank you for the support, it's greatly appreciated! :) I've not dealt with CAF charity cheques before, but I'm sure that would be fine. Will PM you. :thumbs:

bump :)

Me and my wife are going to walk from Mexico to Canada, starting on April 26th this year. It should take us just under 6 months to cover the 2650miles all being well. All self supported, with feet the only form of transport and a tent the main accommodation (I’m sure we won’t be able to resist...

Great shots! I think the 3rd is my favourite with the matching colours of the grass. :thumbs:

I had this choice to make and ended up going with the E-P3 due to the changeable lenses. I would have preferred the build quality and viewfinder of the X100, but as I needed a landscape lens and a wildlife lens (System to be used for hiking) the E-P3 became the logical choice. If Fuji bring out...

mmm, shiny new toys! :D Have ordered a remote shutter, and a load of B&W filters to fit the 12mm. I also need to get a few spare batteries, and am waiting for the JNK leather skin for the E-P3 to be released. I am also considering getting a leather half case for it. Fist impressions are...

I have only had my E-P3 for a couple of days now. I have been a DSLR user for many years, so I have always laughed at the whole holding your camera at arms length thing of p&s cameras. But the touch screen focusing/shooting of the E-P3 is actually really usable! It allows you to compose a...

Thanks for that. Will get a few BLS-5 batteries for my new E-P3 and my wife's E-PL1 then. Are there any third party BLS-5 alternatives out there worth considering, or should I just go genuine (despite the cost)? I did consider the Oly 75-300mm, but the f6.7 on the long end was just far too...

Silver E-P3 Olympus 12mm f2 Panasonic 100-300mm f4-f5.6 Ordered! :D Thanks for the heads up on the stock. Can't wait for it to arrive. Now just need to order some spare batteries, filters and leather skin. Edit; Can anyone confirm that the BLS-5 Battery works in both the E-P3 and...

Where did you get yours from mr.spaceman? An import I presume? I can't wait for it to go on sale here in the UK. Going to pick one up together with the 12mm f2 as soon as they are released here. Already have a silver VF-2 to go with a silver E-P3 :D

I'm planning on getting the E-P3 when it goes on sale. My intended lens lineup for walking an travelling etc is; Olympus 12mm f2 Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 Panasonic 100-300mm f4-5.6 That shoulder cover all my landscape, wildlife, low light, portrait and general shots. :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I need it to be quite long (I need to get a pair of iceaxes in there!) :)

lighter and cheaper? I know there are storm and explorer cases which are basically the same thing, but what I could do with is something like a Peli case in terms of the design (A fairly long and thin one, say 100cm x 50cm x 30cm ish) but it doesn't need to be as durable or heavy. Basically a...
