Wow Jude, thanks for the very informative post. I'm in the UK. Looking at the tracking mine should arrive in a couple of days, eagerly anticipating them! Have been away from Head-Fi for a few years but googled to see what the opinion of the Zolos were here. I backed CrazyBaby Air before and...

This is why I still haven't had mine repaired... I just have no faith in the J Diles side of livewires anymore!

Borrowing a 350d and kit lens for a week. A couple of snaps.   I find it very hard to use in modes other than Auto to be honest! I'm not happy with alot of my pictures, but I can never pin point why... The lens isn't an IS lens, and keepinng steady enough is tricky...     No...

Lovely shot James444!

I considered a K-x... I'm now thinking Canon T2i now. Arghhh, time to look at Pentax again. K-7 is out of my budget though - T2i is pushing it! :(

Oh I couldn't find it when I last looked    Thank you!   Keep an eye over there please folks, I will ask my questions in a thread over there from now on.

(Excuse the rubbish pictures, just so easy to snap on the E71 and email straight through to my Photobucket account from the phone )     Brilliant album IMO!       64gb Jailbroken iPod Touch & FiiO L3 LOD, FiiO E7, and Earpeace Livewires T1.   Shame my Livewires have...

Lovely pictures people... That panorama is stunning! Well done    Yeah, I think the kit lens, and a 50mm prime will start me off well, with a 18 or 25mm soon after, and a something-200, and something-300 in the future (or just a very fast good 300?).   What lens do you guys think would...

Thankyou for the information. That is a gorgeous picture!   One thing I have noticed is camera equipment holds its price very well... I just looked at the 7D, and while it's a £1000 body here new, I can't find a used one under £900... Unlike iPod's and computer stuff, where you can normally...

I hadn't considered that, but after some reading, I now understand that a 50mm on a non-full frame camera won't actually give me 50mm, but a 28mm or 30mm will be much closer...   A 50mm prime on a non-full frame would be actually about 85mm right? - so less wide angle?   Would the kit...

I think i'm going to start with a Canon EOS 500d and the kit lens with AF and IS, which will probably get the most use?   The 500d does HD video, a novelty, but may get some use, and the camera seems to be very good in low light and at high ISO settings too... I just figure I can't go wrong...

Why is there such a huge price difference between f/1.4 and f/1.8 50mm prime AF lenses?   Is there a huge difference in ability and image quality brought by that small difference?

Canon 500d here I come, at long last!

Quote: Sorry, just always seen this as the photographers hang out, but I guess it really is a pictures only thread like the portable rig thread.

    (A truly incredible album IMO!)   Excuse the awful pictures, but it's just so easy to shoot them on the Nokia and email them to my Photobucket from the phone!  Huge thanks goes to Shane, a fantastic guy at http://www.lambayrules.ie/ for the E7 loan. I'll be writing a review...

That is one insane portable rig!   Primarily a hotel room/away-on-business-rig?

Shane at Lambayrules is awesome, i'm getting to sample the E7 for reviewing next week :)   Thanks alot to Shane! :)

I'm getting an E7 at the end of the week for review.   Can you expand a little on "amazing" please?   I'm all excited now you've said that! :)

What are they?

Just hot glue I think?

Android on that would rock...   The Dezire is the closest you can get to that right?

Nice little rig with the Cowon! Looks very sturdy too... Might have to get one when I get some new customs :)

Picsssssss please!

Me too...   Step by step guide?   Only really wondering one thing... if you cut the wire short at the LOD end, taking some out, and soldering wire to wire would create a weak point? Or did you cut off at the LOD itself, and resolder to the pins, cause I struggle with soldering them :(...
