    I just ordered another lens as a present to be used by the family. I got a good deal for a wide angle Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 for shooting landscapes. So now I got the following: 1. 18-55 IS for generic everyday use 2. Tamron 75-300 DG APO for wildlife and macros 3. Pentacon 1.8/50mm for portraits...

    Thanks for the kind comments. I still have a LOT to learn though. The more I read about photography the more I see how little I know. This are the EXIF values recorded: Shutter: 1/60sec Aperture >f/1024 ISO 400

    I got a very old and very cheap Pentacon 1.8/50mm manual focus lens to try just for fun. Below is an 100% crop or a portrait I took today.

    I got a UK model after all (3 months old, originally purchased from Argos) as stated above. I am now looking for a telephoto lens. Will this do? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_rdc=1&item=330333757236&viewitem=&salenotsupported or can you suggest something else for £130 max?

    Opinions on Canon 1000D

    I think you are right. I hadn't seen the Argos price before or I would have not considered Ebay as I already have: 1. 16GB + 8GB cards 2. Card reader 3. Tripod and really only need 1. Camera bag 2. Extra battery Which I can buy by themselves easily. EDIT: Just checked and the Argos camera is...

    Cambelt Change, Nr Birmingham

    I would highly suggest Jamsport. It's around 1 hour from Birmingham but I went there from Warwick and did not regret it a bit.

    What would you pay for this?

    You can have a good 182 for 5000 with the same miles and all the belts done.

    whats the litre of gearbox oil the clio sport 172 ph2 can take ! advice asap

    It is supposed to be 3.1 Changed mine a few days ago and it took around 2.8 to 2.9 as most times not all of it drips out when you empty it.
  21. micloi

    Couple of 182's i've seen.

    Washer jets probably removed because of the leaking problem. Cup badges could have been added easily as well. If I would consider selling mine, with 35,000 miles and with both belts done (+ much more including a new clutch and a 9 months warranty left) I would be asking less of what what they...

    Some photos I took with my new SX1 IS (purchased recently from a forum member)

    Full 20x zoom on a tripod, using the full manual mode for setting the aperture and shutter speed myself. After that I cropped the picture in Photoshop and played a bit with the colours.

    It is a stuffie mate. Thank you all for the comments and tips. I will work a bit on the photos and maybe try to get rid of the blue ball and try some cropping with the 1st one.
