don't get too excited there old man, wouldn't want you to go doing your back in lifting that lump

Looks more than a little bit desireable

I'd love to Matt, but I've got to be very doubtful we can make it at the moment. :headshake

I've no doubts on that score having seen Matt leaving his 1DS MK11 out in pouring rain all day at Chester Zoo. Despite being ****ed on by the elephants and a couple of baboons it was still firing on all cylinders. :icon_eek:

I do need a waterproofed lens though to be really safe.

Yeah and the camera was still working well too :coat:

Congratulations CT. I am glad it has arrived and your initial impressions are favourable. BTW when you give Jan the 20D please get her to show you how to set the white balance correctly

Well I'm now totally in love with this camera. I think I've pretty well got to grips with it by playing with it and just referring to the manual when I was stumped. Now I just want to get out an use it and it's chucking it down. I know it's weather proof, but I'm not.

I did just manage this serious shot though..

Spot metering - I can't tell you how much I've missed that.

The Op/tech neckstrap which IanC very kindly got for a few of us considerably lightens the weight even of this beast hanging round your neck.

Thats looks like a self potrait of you waiting against the window the night before it arrived

I am really pleased for you buddy, I know it will be looked after and above all used and enjoyed. Now all we have to wait for is some seriously good photos to warrant your outlay.
