What lens?
(I helped save b3ta! Jahled Three shades of black, Sun 28 Sep 2008, 16:42, archived)
# standard canon eos350d lens with macro rings from...
hold on lemme get the link...
manual focus of course
edit : took me about 5 attempts to get the stupid thing to stay still! was buzzing about the garden all day and kept coming back to be photographed :D
edit 2 : I also bought uv filter too and remote shutter too, takes alot of vibration out of the 500mm+ shots :D

# I'm going to get a remote shutter, like now *whips out credit card*
Though that one doesn't seem to be compatible with my canon model

# there are a few otheres on there...
I tell you what i did buy which i found REALLY useful... hold on...
level for long distances.. disadvantage = no flash, but long distance don't normally need flash... and...
eye piece but i had to glue mine because its not the best quality in the world... (works a treat but the bit that holds it onto the camera is a bit flimsy!)

# That Fluid Based Leveler looks very useful
simple and practical
(I helped save b3ta! Jahled Three shades of black, Sun 28 Sep 2008, 17:04, archived)
# the flash won't open when you use it close up though...
just something to remember when using for action shots!
edit : I still can't decide if i want to risk my camera on one of these... tripody thing

# they're a bit wobbly
and if it's at all heavy the camera will fall over, probably. that said a wee tripod is dead handy as is a monopod,( if that's what a one legged tripod is called).

# i've got a monopod
i made it myself from a 1980s 3 legged tripod with 2 broken legs, by removing the legs and shoving a broken walking stick in the end :D
I would show you a picture of it but its on my old hd (with 12 years of stuff) which just crashed and burnt a day before i was going to back everything up :(

# has it gone completely tits up
i had one that my machine only saw as a raw data unformatted drive,if at all, i got hold of some recovery software, it found the 80g i knew was on there and it allowed me to copy everything.

# i've got the data recovery software... would you believe on that hard drive!
doh!
i think its more a recognition problem though, keeps wanting to format itself instead of letting me move the data i know is on there...
edit : hang on i can't read - sounds like we have the same problem :D
