Nice choice! The 24-70 f2.8 or 24-105 f4 IS are the two main contenders for lenses. It depends on whether you need the reach and IS more than half a stop. The 24-70 is in the process of being replaced with a MKII so the should be plenty of bargains to be had in the second hand market soon if the...

Are you using the rapidshare download manager? I get s**t speeds on that but full bandwidth with "down them all".

I've just been given a new fancy HP laptop from work with integrated Intel graphics and it plays quite a few games on medium settings with native resolution and a decentish frame rate. Not brilliant, but you shouldn't write it off.

It's just a 3.5mm audio jack. I recently tried to do the same fix, but gave up after the headphones broke for a third time. There are four wires inside the cable, all of which are pretty thin. You can either cut the jack off an old set of headphones and solder the wires together, wrapping each...

You could do it with an RCA to 3.5mm jack fed into the mic input of your PC. You would have to play with sound levels to minimise distortion, then you can use any number of free apps to record the input as an MP3. There are also various USB tape and record decks that can be used, but they'll...

I had a similar problem and it was caused by my router. I couldn't fix it, so took the router back and got a different model. The problem never came back.

Keep a close eye on your kit!! ;)

Most has already been mentioned, but a caribener is pretty handy to have in your bag, or on a strap. It means that you can hook the bag onto a fence or something off wet ground if you don't fancy keeping it on your shoulder/ back during a shoot.

You need a tougher websense policy. ;)

That's my business connection. There should be a 20MB down too but there are 600 people browsing...

For people getting pissed off with rapidshare download speeds.. are you using the Rapidshare tool for downloading? I just tried the flashgot plugin in firefox and got my normal 8-10MB/s download per file, whereas the RS downloader was only allowing 1-1.5MB/s. It looks like their software is...

My favorite lens on a crop camera was the Sigma 30mm f1.4. It is entirely dependent on what you want to shoot most of the time though. The Canon 70-200 f4 is great bang for buck.

Download VLC player or cccp codecs. Both can be grabbed from ninite.com.

That's one in the eye for Canon! It's a good job they haven't released anything on the 5DIII yet as it gives them a chance to go back to the drawing board!

Good call. Even canon folk want to strap the Nikon 12-24 on their cameras. Depends on whether f4 is enough for you though.

Tokina 11-16 f2.8. Great build and optical quality. No other UWA options really.

The Eiffel tower shot is fantastic!

Thanks all That was only at 24mm in a regular lens.
