For those lucky people with new purchases Congrats..... and to Kym I looked forward to seeing your new friend at the meet.

I've been saving a bit outside our normal budget.
I also 'mortgaged' Fathers Day, Christmas and my next birthday. Nel was good to me

Just got in the mail off ebay a set of 2 remotes for my D300, one cordless and one ....errrrrrrr...corded for $27:00 including postage. Looks good and works well up to 100feet away, same focus controls as the D300, looks well made, gotta be happy about that. lol lol lol...the cordless remote with it's little retractable arial looks a bit like a walkie talkie for a Gnome...or a certain Gumby

This is going to be my "carry every where, put in the backpack" camera for when I dont have my DSLR with me but see something worth photographing.

Looks like you did get a good bargain. They say the RRP is $399.00. Good on you and yeah, thanks HN...LOL They are handy to have on you at times. Like at dinner with friends, to have in the car in case you come across something out of the ordinary. Very handy.

I forgot this until I saw it in my bag tonight, the other day one of my work mates gave me a monopod.

He found it while he was cleaning out some of his old boxes and didn't need it any more.....

**Helen S** · 09-08-2008, 10:15am

Great stuff Paul, on both counts. You'll have fun with your monopod and it doubles as walking stick when climbing up big hills (well mine does

).

Ben, nice piece of equipment.

Benq is a good make with great colour. I still have my V772 CRT for getting correct colour on my images as it is superb for it.

Great buy !!

Hardly Normal are usually overpriced to say the least - rip-offs if you understand some of their business practices - but their specials can be great.

I have found them to one of the few places that will readily price match..to a degree, but apart from specials their prices are often over the top.

Hi Guys. My new Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM has arrived today. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.

Can i be your new best friend

The 200 is probably my "dream" lens, it'd produce crazy bokeh for portraits.

I've gotten my first dream lens (85 1.2), maybe one day i'll be able to get the 200 f2
