I’ve been very absent from PB’s of late too- not that anyone noticed :o Hey Stiv, I get your PB feeds on facebook and they’re are always entertaining. Keep it up….

This lens ait bad…. I’ve had a play with one. Good sharpness all round and better AF that previous model. CA can kick in some situations but easy to remove with PS or Lightroom. Tamron make some good shit and are underrated imho….

Rob, the Sigma 10-20 is a bargin compared to the Nikkor 10-24…. sposed to be pretty sharp. Quite like Sigma’s 8-16 too… Are you getting the Nikkor AF-S 70-200 2.8 VR II…? Damn nice… what body you using. The D7000 is pretty tasty…

Hey Rob, aint been to PBs for a while- but you’ve got some great pics of NZ. Where was that farm you were at, central NI? Next time you’ve heading over here drop me a line- im based in Wellington. Cheers

Definately New Zealand…………. and in the long term….. China

Not bad pics for a compact camera… just goes to
show it’s not the kit but the shooter that counts ;-)

Bummer Lee you lost your D80… what the f*** happened?
I’ve been off the radar a while and missed that. What sort
(who with) insurance policy did you have….?

[Kapa]

Wooooo…. I gotta get to Latin America some time soon….

….back to cameras….. RR, sounds like DSLR’s arn’t what your
after. There’s a new series of “A” series Canon compacts….
….A630, A640…. the A710is aint bad. 7mp, a sharp little lens,
6x zoom, 2.5 inch screen, viewfinder and Image stabilising to
healp with interior shots. My pics though for compacts are the
Panasonic/Leica Lumix series…. 28mm lenses, image stabilising,
6-10mp, sharp lens and screens…. check out the FX01, FX07, and
the cool new LX2…….. cheers!!

For a nice price, I’m sure they could tailor
you a special “straight-jacket” jimmy boy…..

But we still beat the shit out of our contemporaries
across the ditch…. ;-))

Czech out ……. http://www.venere.com

Good site with maps, feedback etc……

Be prepared to be ripped off though…..
The Praguers are good at that and have
no qualms about being off-hand either….

…it tastes how it sounds….. Nuc-lear…….Lebanon has more famous sons…

…..is not the “Bekaa” valley more famous for a more famous strain than Arak…
……Hashish ? and AK47’s……!!!

I am pretty sure there was an american guy who walked the entire length of the Congo — and then write about it for Nat Geo.

Not to get confused with that american guy who tried to “pirogue”
down the Congo….. but didn’t make it….. and still wrote abook about it.

Nice one Lee. Thanks for keeping us in tune. Great to hear
you’ve ‘come back alive’. Looking forward to the snaps and stories…..

[Kapa]

Good stuff Lee…. soundslike all going smoothly at the mo….

How long have you got there…..? Looking forward to the articles…..

Cairo gets slagged all the time, but personally I like it….

With a only a week you have to move fast….. I’d skip going all
the way down to Aswan and just go as far as Luxor (IMHO, a much
more relaxed and friendly place than Aswan)….. hire a push bike and check
out all the temples…. fuck the feluca’s though…….
