Mifsuds were excellent to deal with when I went there, a proper family business where it seems that customers actually matter! And they had a selection of film gear if I remember correctly.

The 70-300 is well worth looking at, possibly my most used lens as it's so portable and easy to use. I've got the 50-140 which feels so heavy by comparison and ends up only being used occasionally. Both take the 1.4tc. I used to have the 100-400 (I think you had one) and really don't miss it's...

I agree totally.

Thank you both, very much appreciated!

A few photos from a grass track and a motocross meeting over the last couple of weekends.

I guess you can't see the classifieds yet, but I do have one for sale there. Post a bunch of replies or threads (I think it's 50) and you'll be able to see it....!

I guess meeting people might be a good way to get motivated after such a sad loss, so maybe consider joining a camera club? I know it has helped me following a loss. You say that the countryside around you isn't spectacular so might you be able to turn that into a positive feature? Posting...

That's a very kind offer Nod. I'm usually a XXL, so I'd love to try the larger one - wanted thread about to be posted! How very generous of you!

Under heavy braking I find my buttock cheeks grip most things pretty well, although I'm not sure if you wanted to know that.

Thank you for your replies. Obviously I need to try a few on! Keeping cool while keeping safe is so important (I've had over 20 operations following a not-my-fault bike smash) so I don't ride without decent protection, which makes summer rides a test of endurance...

I'm one of the happy Epson 8550 owners. Yes, it is expensive to buy but man it's cheap to run and actually comes with a FULL set of inks that lasted me many many months (I can't remember but think it was close to a year, with me printing A3's almost all the time. I think mine is now about 2.5...

This is what Cornwall is like in the summer - we just don't go to any of the places tourists come here for. We walk to the supermarket and there is a lesser known beach we can walk to too. Yesterday we had to drive to Cardiff for a weekend (yes, and I had to wear a suit, tie, socks and shoes all...

I've never tried a mesh jacket (not even sure I've seen one in the flesh) What have you got and what should I look at if I want to get one? Ant advice much appreciated!

Another way to look at it is that you saw it, so you are seeing as a photographer, which is a very important thing. I've just been away on holiday, didn't take my camera out with me a lot of the time for various reasons and saw many photos that I would have loved to have taken had I been...

I don't remember ever crossing you, but did get a couple of short 'holidays', mainly for unintentional mistakes. Promise! Back to Colin, he will, along with Cobra be missed by many.
