Nice case Darren...

**mR_CaESaR** · 17-09-2008, 10:14am

How much did the 1510 set you back if you don't mind me asking?

And where did you purchase it from?

cheers

**kiwi** · 17-09-2008, 10:25am

I don't mind - I actually got it from Teds Camera's here in Brisvegas for $320.

I've also ordered the lid organiser for another $50 to put all the little bits & pieces

I was a little stressed about whether it would fit it my sports kit, and really happy with how it's panned out - it was fun "pluck and picking" the foam. Though I might sooner or later get dividers as they can fit in a lot more apparently - but - they are over $100 extra.

I did not really want a bigger case if I did not need it, though 1650 was going to be the next one up.....plus it will make a nice seat on the sideline.

I bought it as after lugging my gear about with a backpack was starting to wreck my back !!

This is not 100% photography related but it is going to help me when I head out taking photos especially near the airport so I can hear what is going on and when planes are going to be taking off and also keep an ear on the weather.

I just got my light tent,(80 cm) ... as in this thread http://www.ausphotography.net.au/for...ght=light+tent and I really need to some spatial awareness training.... it is really quite big lol, I could fit in it. Much better than it being too small tho.

Looks pretty good quality, so will have to have a play later.

Thanks for the heads up Adam.

**BLWNHR** · 19-09-2008, 1:39pm

Hahaha, yeah it is pretty darn huge. They are pretty god for the money!

here's my latest toy!! w00t!! Portable power!!!

First attempt at a style i'm trying to copy... too bad the unit seemed like it needed charging as it wouldn't fire off my third strobe..

What a very uncooperative model i had!!!

You can bash the pic all you want, its purely a test, not really worried about the blown highlights etc.. i'm just trying to get this particular look, but i'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.

Lani, Adam... do these have a brand name on them? Was looking at something that looks exactly the same (even comes with the black, white, red, blue backings) at my local photo shop. They were "Kast" and had a logo on the black carry bag. They the same as these?

No logo, Michael..... actually nothing other than the tent and backings, I couldn't work out how to fold the damn thing back up lol. Possibly just the same thing but without a logo stitched on. It is probably not as good a quality as some of the others around but as I am not sure how much I will use it, it is good value for the price. How much are the Kast ones?

Well the Kast 80cm one was $99!! So I'll be getting this one off eBay too. Ordering one right now actually....

Not going to use it that much either so if it's slightly poorer quality who cares. As you say it's no doubt from the same factory without the logo anyway...

Thanks for the reply

Anyone know the best place to get cheap mem cards?

Haven't had much time to use it, but first impressions are that its a great little camera, it seems to have all of the functionality of my D300 just with the different build and AF system.
It's awesome with a nifty-fifty fitted and the high iso performance & metering are really good.

The video function is really great, bit of a novelty for me, but fun none the less
