Does anyone have a Canon 1d series camera, In Glasgow?

[mrjames]

This will probably sound completely bizarre but does anyone have a 1d series camera who lives/works in Glasgow. I have a 1dmk3 and i've left my charger at my parents in England and I really need to charge my battery for a shoot on Thursday (so no rush and i'll see if I can get them to post it up to me), but I was just wondering if one of you TP folk would let me charge my battery

If you do, I will be forever (and I mean forever) in your debt, else i'll have to do the shoot with a 550d (boo , hiss...)

perhaps if you ask Calumet nicely?

I'm sorry I can't help either (not in Glasgow nor do I have a 1D) - but for those that poo-poo the idea of a spare battery, here's a time when it would buy you continued shooting...

Hi

Do you have transport? I'm in Lanark and have 2 fully charged LP-E4s sitting on my desk. I don't mind meeting you halfway tomorrow afternoon or evening and letting you borrow one of them.

I will definitely invest in a second battery now but I was toying with the idea of trading in for a 5dmk2 so I never really wanted to commit to buying a second battery, I travel a lot so having such a big camera is a pain sometimes, and the charger is humungous

Hey Neil, many many thanks for the offer but unfortunately I don't have transport so I think i'll have to politely decline, sorry, but thanks very much for your generosity



The shoot has now been rescheduled so i'm not quite so desperate
but if anyone does help me out i'll sort you an 18x12 print (or smaller if you prefer) of your choice of image from my flickr
