Off to Peugeot in a minute to pick a coil up for the Vee,
Renault = 34.84 + VAT
Peugeot = 20.22 + VAT
Same part manufactured by the same company. Why can Renault charge so much?
Where as, put £1500 of it away for a year or two and then you've got a 172 almost, I know as a first car everyone wants something nice but its alot of money in the short term.
I've read most of your should I shouldn't I threads mate and I really got the feeling you didn't want the 172, not sounding bad but I really hope chucking your money at the 172 isn't the last resort, cause it could work out expensive in the long run if you still don't want to keep it.
What you really aiming for? and what do you want it for?
To be honest I'd say £2K on your first car is alot, but I haven't bought a first car in 8 years so I could be talking sh!t. If your after a 172/182 in the long run, I'd advise saving a few quid and look for something a bit cheaper for...
How important are filters quality wise? Are you going to notice much difference between the top end ones and cheap ones when only using budget lens? I.e bundle 18-55 and £150 Tamron zoom 70-300.
I've read about ring flashes but they are limited to Macro photos?? couldn't justify affording that, I'm on a budget like you mate and taking photos isn't cheap as I now know.
Is it not true hat some Volvos have clocked close to 1 million? I do think over 100K your asking for trouble unless you they have a FSH but then again you have to pay a premium for them and can probably get a car on 70K for the same price.
I was thinking of something like the Canon speedlite 430x or whatever it is called.
Like you said I don't want to jump right in and waste a couple of hundred and find I need alot more.
Its amazing how much this photography can cost, I thought 400 notes would be enough!!!
Confused!!!
Flashes were m next question.......
This macro lark is really getting to me so I'm going to get a macro lens. What am I going to need flash wise as with my little knowledge understand that the built in flash won't be good enough. What do I need and what does it cost??
OK excellent, didn't realise it wa a combination of the 3, I thought F stop number was the only thing. I did have the camera as close as it would focus. Time to get a bigger kitchen, I think 30 foot should do it:)
I see what your saying, I didn't want to get any of the bowl in the picture though so I had to go that close, I'm only using a Tamron 70-300 lens with a macro function aswell. I heard its not the best lens, just got all excited when I was in Jessops.
So even though I'm at F22 there is still...
I've had a play tonight with water droplets but they don't seem sharp. I think its the shutter speed but i've seen other peoples and they have used roughly the same as me. I got the 400D and the sync on the flash is 1/200th maximum so thats what I'm using, is this the problem or do you think I'm...
