    I'm waiting for the first mobile phone that can have a 400mm f2.8 mounted to it.

    Or not.

    Tayne and I had mobile phones for while we were traveling.
    We through them away about three weeks ago!.
    But now I find I just feel so disconnected from the world without it!.

    I've flicked it and replaced it with a Canon L 70-300 which is very nice. For extra length I can stick it on the 450, for more

    Your Sigma is certainly superb - you got a good one! I bought mine on the strength of similar samples but of course
    it was way too late to do anything about it by the time I got back from my holiday. <sigh>

    I had similar problems with a 30mm Sigma prime and was able to correct the problem "in camera". If you still have the lens check and see if your camera body has micro focus adjustment, you still may be able to get some good shots with it.

    Someone asked me once how to get better pics out of a mobile phone.

    "Use it to make a call to place an order for a camera that can't make phone calls", I replied.

    But sorry Dave, while the mobile camera phones are useful the photos really don't have any depth of field like an SLR... Peter

    Top of the day to you Trev. Watched the sun rise as I drove into Sydney this morning. Ok well lets say I was blinded by streaks of light through a milky bug splatttered windscreen. Note to self. Clean windscreen then can take decent pic with phone of sunrise

    Hey Cowboy
    Hope you have a great time in the big smoke mate.
    And please say G'day to the guy's for me!.

    I think I've found the perfect workshop for me to build the Brough in.
    It's up on the side of a hill in Cornwall just down the road from St. Mary's.



    Don't know why it just seems to have a real me vibe about it!.

    Cheers mate have a great time.
    Trev.

    Nah, not big enough Trev. Don't think there is electricity connected for the Dremmel either. Apart from that, looks fantastic. You could use it as a base while you build a rustic big shed, it has a fabulous outlook.
    See ya at the GTG on Sunday.
    P.S - Do you need a lift from the airport?

    Alan...

    Wish I was going to be there Alan.
    But the Tasmanian Vintage Motorcycle Rally is on the same day.
    Seeing as I'm just getting started with things down here it's a great opportunity for me to display the Indian.
    Just hope it's a nice today weatherwise!.

    Hope everyone at the GTG has a great time.
    Probably be all the better without me rabbiting on!.
