hehe you ladies got stitched up there ! :> Nice shot to boot. C.

My dad got thrown out of the Russian Embassy in Bulgaria about 20 odd years ago (in the middle of the Cold War). He had a camera around his neck and thought this building was a hotel and was just popping in for a pee, only when he literally came flying out of the door after being tossed out by a...

Seems I need to man-up and deal with the weight :) C.

Theres a few Indian firms around here, one of which if I recall are a building company and their logo on their van was 'You've tried the cowboys, now try the Indians' Another Indian pest control company used the slogan 'Sikh and Destroy' They amused me :> C.

Very interesting stuff there, thanks for that link. Some of the facts and figures are amazing, using tolerances down to 1000ths of a mm is mind blowing. Theres certainly a hell of a lot of work that goes into each lens, they are far from 'just bits of glass' C.

Yes I have the f/4 version unfortunately, but you probably have a point about the balance, as of course the 70-200 doesn't get longer with the focal length unlike the 400. Thanks for that, I will look into that shortly, and yes I think I have totally caught L Disease now :> C.

Neither of the above! I think im going to have to get a monopod at least. Ive just had 10 mins buggering about in the garden and my arms ache, but apart from that Im loving already and Ive just convinced myself that I need to buy one of my own, as giving it back to LFH is going to be hard...

Hi all, Ive just received a 100-400mm L IS and blinking flip I cant believe how heavy it is, my 70-200mm L IS is quite heavy but this baby weighs a ton! I cant wait to test it out this weekend at Brands Hatch, the only down side is the fact I've got to give it back, as its a rental lens...

So it is, can see now Im at home :> C.

Ooo a DTM Merc, is that Jamie Green I can't make it out on my iPhone (I'm at work). Nice shot very siimilar to the 100's I have of these monsters. Don't forget the British round of the DTM is at brands on the 30/31 of this month. Lewis Hamilton will be there too doing some demo laps in his...

My contender! C.

Ive just got my upgrade to LR2 email from adobe, I think Ill upgrade when Ive got my head together having just woke up, although I think £85 is a bit on the steep side but as LR is great its probably worth getting as I cant afford PS CS3, let alone know how to work it :> The performance issues...

Just had a fish around in LR, come up with these, nothing special mind you. They do need cleaning up a tad, specially #2, I just havent got around to it yet, Post processing drives me insane. C.

Nice, hopefully those nasty bullies are locked up in a 'cell' now :> C.

Ive been using FF for ages, love it. As v3 is on the verge of release I decided to read into it and found this video: http://people.mozilla.com/~beltzner/overview-of-firefox3.swf ...... And wow theres some tasty stuff built into it. Impressive stuff. C.
