    7D....

    Long story short... I want to get back into photography after about a 5 year gap. I used to own a 7D for about 3 years, amassed a bunch of great L series glass etc... Sold it all gradually years ago as I fell out of love with it due to various other things (motorbikes are expensive) I've been...

    Sigma 100-300mm F4

    Absolutely incredible lens. I'm so shocked by how sharp it is, the IQ is just absolutely unreal. Focusing is fast, no need for IS so far, just so pleased for the money. Blows my 100-400L out of the water. Will post some samples soon

    Sigma 100-300mm F4

    Stunning photos Stuart. It arrived this morning and so far despite terrible light it's quite surprising, not missing IS at all. Ah I went for the other, they currently have two, yours which they described as in slightly poorer condition cosmetically, and a mint condition example for 30 more. I...

    Sigma 100-300mm F4

    Yeah I've heard a lot of bad things about Sigma's after sales etc. I've got it from MPB, and they say if I'm not happy with it I can return it for a full refund within 7 days, so I'll give it a shot and see how I get along with it. Oh another note, can't recommend MPB enough.

    I think it's your lens I'm getting off MBP!

    Sigma 100-300mm F4

    This one will be mainly used on a Canon 7D. I think I'm going to take a shot at it. It's a decent price and worst case scenario I can sell it in a few months and not be down much. I've heard pretty much nothing but great things about it.

    Sigma 100-300mm F4

    I've been looking at a few reviews etc for this, all seems to be very positive, and a few sample shots that I've seen are excellent, but that doesn't mean much in reality. I'm looking for anyone with real world experience with it. Any problems? Hows the IQ? I've always been concerned about...

    phone charges

    That's good to know, she's getting charged the 11p a text it costs from overseas. Quite pleasantly surprised that I can text overseas and not get charged, I didn't realize that was the case.

    phone charges

    I'm texting someone who's currently on holiday in Cyprus. I'm with Vodafone on a contract, and I'm apparently not paying any extra to text them, surely its 11p like it is to text from Europe back into the UK? Or is it free/included in my text allowance, to text Europe? The website doesn't make...

    Food that makes you go......

    Jalapenos on anything myself, i even put them in my beans on toast, go through at least 3 jars a week. Full fry up, but minus the hash browns, and add chips instead.

    Download limits

    Everything you do on the internet, from gaming, shopping, watching videos, email, it all counts as "downloading and uploading" and all goes on your allowance. As everything you view/hear is technically downloading, it just isn't being saved in the conventional way downloading is known as, this...

    Download limits

    Playing games consoles online uses very little data, even with voice chat. As all the visuals, physics, the entire game, is clientside, all the connection is doing is sending information regarding locations, where each player is in relation to others etc... The voice chat is lowish quality so...

    Locating a place in Northern France

    Good guess but unfortunately not, Houlgate has a much smaller population, this place was moderately large, over 2k population anyway, quite an impressive town.

    Panorama. All constructive criticism etc... Welcome.

    I cant remember where I shot this panorama, only that it was on the northern coast of France, somewhere between Boulogne and Le Havre. We drove a long way that day and visited many, many coastal towns along the way, and I unfortunately cannot remember where this was shot, if anybody knows, feel...
