interesting replies guys, thanks ! I went for a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 to see if I get on with it :)

Primes taught me to think about framing a lot more :)

I know what you mean Alan, I've dabbled with primes before and had great results.

Thanks guys, still looking at the 24-70 II for now, seems to cover most of the bases :)

yeah, pretty much ! Woke up this morning with the decision of going primes, now I'm back to the 24-70 II :(

As above really, what lens spends most time on your 5D3 (or any other FF body for that matter) ? I have the 16-35mm L II but would like something with a bit more length. I recently sold my 24-105mm to get a 24-70mm mk2 but I was thinking about adding a 50mm f/1.4 prime now and the 85mm...

hello and welcome :)

I really miss my IV, it was pretty much everything I wanted in a camera. I just couldn't bear to see £3k (plus a 24-70mm lens) sitting on my shelf doing nothing. Digital Rev did a review of both and didn't think it was much of an upgrade from a III, but if you need/want video its always a...

OK, type "LIST VOLUME" and find the partition you created, the do SELECT VOLUME 0 (if your volume is listed as 0). I'm not sure sure how you created the partition using the youtube vid

ok, you need to do the following: in diskpart: SELECT DISK 0 then ASSIGN LETTER = C then FORMAT FS = NTFS that should do it, it might take a while to complete the format, you could even try "FORMAT FS = NTFS QUICK" and see if that will do a quick format :) let us know how you get on :)

ok, load up diskpart, you will get a prompt like below: DISKPART>_ type "LIST DISK" without the "" What is returned ? this is mine :

well, to be honest, you might be better of going out and buying a copy of Windows 7 and installing that. It will probably have 95% of the drivers incorporated into it using windows update. The remaining drivers will probably be able to be sourced from Advent's website (I'm actually looking for...
