OK, well managed to do that with my previous idea of getting a lens for a friend that was looking to buy anyway...he gets it a little cheaper, i can buy in HK at cheaper prices when i know what i want! Heavily leaning towards the 16-35 F4L IS now, the price difference is much smaller over there.

Fantastic Dave, drop me a message when you're heading over!

I'll be living in Wan Chai for 6 months, so it's not reallllly a trip as such where i'm worred about carrying stuff. I want to be able to go out at night/whenever and get some amazing landscapes, which the EOS-m won't qutie do as well as the 5D3! I've already downsized from a 1DS3, the 5D3...

Other option is to get something that has a decent demand value, and sell it immediately brand new in box, and then buy one/both when i get out there!

Why's that Norkie? the 16-35 F4L is meant to be 99% as sharp as the TS-E. but with IS and versatility...

Unfortunately i can't, it's an insurance replacement and they will only issue equipment not money! So need to decide in the next few days really.

im guessing you mean 1Dmk4 and want to get a 1DSmk3? slightly confusing post :D

Hey Phil, nice shots in what looks like terrible lighting! Did I speak to you in person at the Amaechi Centre last week? I've never been QUITE sure of who you were :X

they have been processed, pretty much just tweaked the exposure level in lightroom, as i shoot in manual mode so there are dark and bright spots depending where on the court they are, and applied a tone curve across them all :) Some of these were with the 70-200 F2.8 too, 15 and 18 are 70-200 @...

Good morning campers It's made it through the night and eaten a lot more meat this morning and made a lot of mess to clean up! I'm trying to get hold of a local sanctuary now but the emergency mobile is "currently unavailable" Will keep trying!

I will be contacting a local bird sanctuary in the morning, but I could not leave it there when it was obviously distressed but not beyond help with nightfall closing in rapidly. An update on the bird, it's had another feeding session at about midnight, where he took down a LOT more! I was...
