or the Voigtlander bessa 6×9 or Linhof technika

The oul Ivar Mantle classic camera book does come in handy.

Yeh, I will have to get a complete new kit. If they did a digital back for a bronica 67 – Wow but they dont…

Belive it or not I dont like zooms unless thay are good quality. I had a Tokina ATX 80-200 f2.8 about 10 years ago, fantastic lens.

what I possibly will do is look at the 20d and buy a Sigma macro lens, wide – angle and whatever else is left over.

CC’s in town have a 20d for 700. may take a look at this. Will keep you posted

cheers

Have tried Vodaphone 3G and got GPRS only, Have tried Onspeed which uses squid, slightly faster more Zm than Zoooooooooom.

In the end I might just go for ISDN… altough brittas bay just down the road have wireless BB. For work all I need is a terminal session. I must check can I use secure-id for a putty session…..

Type of subject matter:

The delicate type!!! Macro, although I do like landscape. The motor racing days are on hold.

To me lens quality is most important.

Over the years (27 years photography) I have had mostly Canon, the best to me was the T90 and A1, and I have also had Contax the 167MT, with a couple of CZ lenses.

I like a solid camera. I tried the Olympus E-410. felt like a dinky toy. I was thinking of a SH 20 or 30d and then get a good quality lens. Anything I would need to look out for when buying a sh DSLR….

I am living down here two years now and unfortunately I am the last house on the line and was told that the line is too poor for DSL. I need broadband for my work. Project Manager during the day and Sys admin after hours. I am sure to get the jist I need a vpn enabled connection

The FWA connection has a download of 512 k and upload of 64k…. pretty bad. Satellite BB one way ranges from

mediasat 1024k download – dial-up upload. ?370 plus 40 per mth

to two-way

bently walker 512kbps down 128kbps up cost: ?86mth + hw ?960

If I need to do large up;oads or downloads I have a 4 mb link in work. Try using youtube at my worst connection speed of 9k
