Ahh bless you George for chiming in, as far as I recollect it was George whom told me about the RRS foot Gordon..............simply I've never bought the tripod to stick the lens on that's why I don't own one..the lens is a handholder's dream ( leastways to a simple lad like me).. Ha ha and Gordon thanks so much for the reply, I'm proper dog ruff right now, mind The lads at work let me come come with a rather nice offcut of carpet , pulled from a skip..................... so after a ten hour day on site the thing is now cut and laid, hmm make that 12 and a 1/2 but my lady is smiling like a cheshire cat so i'm a happy train wreck if not my own worst enemy
So glad you are sorted buddy...that's lovely, Forgive me not knowing you own a DO ii, I adore this lens but know I have so little knowledge compared to your good self
Lads it might be here or maybe the 1DXii thread, but as an aside, in one of the two threads Both George and Bob @ canon Bob( could someone link Bob into this please if i'm astray, I really am taking a beating) talked to me about battery chargers............... think Bob actually pulled one apart actually. it was to do with the lack of a 12V input in the DXii charger and chrging Canon's batts in a camper...........
..........................anyway my good lady told me today that there was a case where a NON canon charger set fire and incredibly sadly burnt the owners house.......does anyone have any details?
Sort of an awareness post lads and also digging for more info, forgive me but i'm simply to clattered to dig but would also like folks to be aware, if all this is true , it's an extraordinarily sad tale , which I can't back up as yet. It would break my heart of this happened to a fellow member here especially as you 'orrible lot have been so kind to me thank you
take care
