Very many thanks, Bob. From a quick scan, it looks like I should stick to the MRC ones, then, - but I'll study more closely later. Grateful thanks.

Could some kind person tell me what the 'E' range of filters indicates, please. I have some F-Pro, and am aware of the XS range, but cannot find out anything about the 'E' ones. Thanks.

Slim filters seem to be all the rage these days. I can understand their use with wide angle lenses, but for my new 50mm-upwards lenses I would prefer to buy the conventional ones with enough thread to stop the lens cap from falling off. The more so in the case of one lens that has no bayonet, so...

As I mentioned in my opening post on this thread, I have been trying to re-find a list which I previously saw which I took to be of 'Official' Canon Dealers. I was disappointed with the "Where to buy" page on Canon's website which locates the dealer nearest to your postcode and shows it on a...

Hello Louise, I've never bought a usb stick from 7dayshop, but all other purchases have gone smoothly. Sandisk is a respected brand for usb and camera memory. But seriously, as long as you get one of the known brands from a reputable source, you are very unlikely to get any problems. Your...

Hello Louise, Firstly, just make sure that it's a DVP-SR760H player. Have a look at the screenshot attached which suggests that the socket is on the front. There are loads of USB drive brands, and in the end it's more or less a matter of personal choice over shape, colour, whether it has a cap...

Louise. - If it's a model 760 player, the usb socket is at the right of the front panel. I really think that this is a better option for you than discs, where you are running into file compatibility issues. If you've got the usb stick that you were talking about, why not copy a few of your...

Well, it confused me ........... I fear I might be too old and tired to spot the subtle difference.

Thanks for that, Jason. Your link works now for me. I was believing what appears in the attached screenshot. Unfortunately this is not the first time I have experienced problems with the Canon website which I feel can reasonably be expected to be rather more "friendly". It sometimes takes me a...

Hello Jason, yes, that's the one, - it says "We apologise but there is no software available for your product." Yet the issue is described in detail on http://www.eflens.com/ef-lenses/ef_40mm_f_2_8_stm.html and on a number of Canon's other websites.

I'm in the market for a 'mint-ish' one of these (sorry if as a new member I'm not supposed to say that yet!) but have become a bit unnerved by what I've read about early versions this lens on the internet, needing a v2 firmware update. The Canon UK website says that it isn't available any more...

My thanks to 'twist' and to 'Canon Bob' for their help. Camerapricebuster has been added to my saved urls as it will be helpful in looking around for the best deals, which, judging from the prices, I assume to be non-grey. I suspect that I might be going wrong with the Canon 'where to buy' since...

I thought that Google would soon find me a list of Canon authorised dealers whose stock is official UK and with Canon warranty. In fact, I think I've found it before, but all I can find now is a page which takes me to a map of the UK with pointers to specific locations. That sort of thing is...

Louise, A further thought ........... modern DVD players often have a USB socket, and can be set up to play pictures. My DVD recorder also does this. So, can you take a peek at Dad's DVD player, and perhaps note the model of that too. If the DVD player will play your pics from USB, then that's...

Thanks, Nod ! Now, can you help me find my white stick ? I'd like to check the model number, though. Thanks and regards.
