Thanks for the info John. I’m hoping these hot nighttime temperatures are going to fall soon. 18 degrees at 6am doesn’t help [emoji53]

I’m currently trying to get to grips with the new Canon Mpe-65 macro lens and I think I’ve finally found somewhere where dragonflies seem to be. One thing I can’t work out is how can you tell if there’s going to be an early morning dew the next day? I believe most insects stay put until they...

I'd better have a proper measure. If it is smaller than the Slingshot I'll maybe look towards the Trek 350 or the Protastic 350 AW II.

The Slingshot looks bigger? The outside dimensions are very similar. Not checked the compartments dim's.

Yep you're right (couldn't find it earlier). It's the Slingshot 200 AW.

I'm not sure which Sligshot mine is. I've had it about 10 years now. The Trek 250 seems to be very similar to the Sligshot I have in terms of dimensions and I can fit a Canon 5D3 + 70-200 2.8 no problem with a little room for bits.

I've looked at my current small bag and it's an old Lowepro Slingshot which will carry the 70-200 on the body fine but I just don't like the single strap or side opening. What does everyone think of this one. Are these capable of carrying a tripod too would you say without it sliding out all the...

The 350 looks more like the size I’m looking for (I could go smaller though) but for £149 it’s pretty well priced. I have an old Lowepro 450 (I think) which everything gets dumped in which is why I need something small. It’s mainly going to just have just an mpe-65 macro lens and body but...

They look like a nice piece of kit and something I might consider for my main bag when I replace it. It’s a shame they don’t do a really small one as I’m only needing to carry the body and lens with a few bits. I currently have a small Lowepro Flipside but I don’t like the single strap. They do...

Cheers Jake. I'm looking more for something like a rucksack with 2 straps. This looks more like something that goes over your shoulder?

I'm looking to get a new smallish bag to just hold the 70-200 (with camera attached preferebly) which is rucksack type. Can you guys show me what you have please to help my decision. I'm a bit out of touch with what's on the market. I want something good quality.

Unfortunately the IMac has to go as I no longer have the space for it. I was going down the laptop route so I can use it anywhere in the house (and work occasionally).

To be honest I’ve been looking at both the 13” and 16” but just think I’d prefer the extra screen space coming from a 27” IMac.

Thanks for all the advice so far. Interesting reading. As I’m used to a 27” IMac , the machine I’ve been looking at is the 16” MacBook Pro but the price and spec increase form the 13” is around double. Is it justifiable for the extra performance? Seems a really big jump? I’m looking for...

Hi guys. Looking to invest in a new computer. I’m used to the IMac I have so want to keep with Apple but don’t have much knowledge about which laptop is going to be powerful enough. Am I best going for the MacBook Pro (very expensive) or are the MacBook Air’s up to the processing for Photoshop...
