  1. Indeed I'd like to emphasize the point. Generally people buy into a system, typically Canon or Nikon. If you buy good quality lenses, either second hand or new, they will last as you upgrade your camera. If you buy a budget lens, firstly you'll be unhappy with the results, resulting in you not using the camera much. Best to buy an F2.8 pro lens at a standard focal length (50mm on 35mm system or wider for sensors that are smaller) Oh and while I'm spouting, don't get fixated on mega pixels, to a certain extent a red herring to market cameras.
  2. First thing is how much money are you prepared to spend? I use Nikon D3 bodies which are a bout £3000. Nikon's flagship camera. I doubt you want to spend that much. Lower down the range (and I only know Nikon really) the D300 is brilliant. At the consumer level, The D90 has had good reviews and is affordable. Out side of Nikon, Canon have a good pedigree of lower end cameras, someone else may have a working knowledge of Canons. Either way, lens choice makes the biggest difference to image quality, The more light down the tube the better. Look for lens's with lower f-stop ranges, unless you buy apro lens with F2.8 throughout the zoom range, you'll be looking at 3.5 to 4.5. These numbers are very important as they affect the focus aesthetics of any image and determine how much light is required to take a picture. Second hand lenses on Ebay is agood place for cheap quality lenses. For a standard mid ranges zoom (35-70mm) expect to pay about £250. Spending as much as you can afford on the lens is something you wont regret. Good luck, Happy shooting. If you go the Nikon route, PM me and I can give more advice on selection.
  3. Never a truer word said in jest.

  5. How were the deer killed? Was it by shotgun/rifle. I'd be more worried about people discharging wepons in a public space. littering is one of my top ten bugbears (funny expression that). Along with guns in the park, obviously. It's a shame the arbtalk sensor machine works so well, we'd all like to have some choice words for these traitors.
  6. It's dark outside
  7. I'm an angry kid Bob. your an angry kid too. we're all angry here. We need anger management. And some sponge cake maybe.
  8. Good luck with this one. I don't think you'll need it as it looks pretty cut and dried. If it were me I would start a counter claim straight away for the time and inconvenience this is costing your business. Usually a counter claim from your solicitor shows you have intent to take it all the way. start with claiming top dollar for everey second he has taken including the first meeting, time to read the letter and the time on arbtalk. I might also throw in a claim against him for how long it's taken to read the entire thread and type this post. Peter's future letter thing had me in stitches.
  9. His Calves will only get bigger.
  10. I thought I started this thread. Didn't I?

  15. I think Post no. 28 was very profound. I agree in a funny way.
  16. I don't work. I'm a millionare playboy. Seriously. I have no work.
  17. Funny as a funny thing in funny land. Who leaves kids that age alone for long enough to do that? Unless of course that was the intention.
  18. I'm leaning towards this myself
  19. Chap here in Essex does waste managment and timber. Two of his skip lorries are LOG 1 and LOG 2.
