Do you have CF cards in stock ?

Cheers

Good god man! I know that BBC political correspondant John Sargent had a bit of a crush on the iron lady but she does nothing for me.
She doesn't even have the supposed "extended duration" effect. It's just sheer bloody terror.

[Onyx]

Here's my official appeal for anyone in the Hills District or bogan areas of Sydney attending the meet. Wanna carpool? I'm in Kings Park (more bogan than Hills), and needing a ride. Will shout your petrol.

[Onyx]

and some other photography + PC hardware related items.

This drive looks awesome! I bought a similar ext drive from the US - minus the card reader and Firewire links, and it's been a fantastic piece of kit, daily backups are no longer a chore but enjoyable!

Highly recommended for anyone who has the need for an external hard drive and/or flash card reader!

[spada]

Hi

[radar]

Hi Birddog,

I'll be there, my first Sydney mini-meet , see you there. Gotta meet some of you before the AW

If there are any other Newcastle D70users that want a lift, just PM me.

Cheers,

André

[samester]

Time to get myself out to a meet - i'll hopefully be there sat morn!!

Onyx, i can give you a ride also. I'll be coming through from Rooty Hill, only about 5-10min from Kings Park.

[Andoru]

The meet starts at 2am?!

[Glen]

The meet starts at 2am?!

Birddy doesn't like latecomers either

[Glen]

Andoru, normal hours are 8am to 1pm, the 2am start is for Sigma enthusiasts

[Andoru]

Sorry Glen I'm obviously missing something here.

"Sigma" I presume refers to something else beside the lens manufacturer right?

[Nnnnsic]

"Sigma" I presume refers to something else beside the lens manufacturer right?

Why would you think that?

[Andoru]

So...er...anything special happening at 2am Australian standard time?

[Glen]

Andoru, standing joke that the normal hours are 8am - 1pm (with people dropping in any time between those hours), many started buying VR lenses so it was suggested an earlier start to view those, then others purchased sigma lenses so it was suggested even earlier start for those. Just get there between 8am - 1pm and you will be fine. You will meet nice people, see rare and exotic plus standard lenses, enjoy scintillating conversation, enjoy good food and generally have a pleasant time with regards to good company and all things photographic.

I am soooooooo coming!

I don't have digital equipment though. (Don't mind playing around with other people's D2X )

[Bruno]

Hey,
Its been a while since i've been to a meet, if there is any room i'd like to stop by for a while.

cheers

[stubbsy]

Sadly (or perhaps forunately for my bank balance given the EXTRA SPECIAL specials) I won't be there this Saturday

stubbsy,
We will call your name in a roll call

[HappyFotographer]

I'll see if I can convince my man to let me come again. Sean has another early home game, so he might just let me.

If so, I would love to have a play with some macro lenses. I am currently selling off some stuff from a "no longer participate in"hobby in the hopes that one day I will own a macro of my own........can anyone bring a lense or two I could play with?

Cheers
Deb

[HappyFotographer]

Happy Birthday for Saturday then Matt.

Can't make this one I'm afraid. It's my birthday that day and Sam has something in store.

Yippee

Hope it's a good "something".
