    20D power pack

    Graham My preference is simply to carry a spare battery. I must say I don't think I've ever had to resort to the spare when I have gone out with a fully charged battery.

    macro photography

    macro photography

    Hugh I am a similar age to you and also have heart problems and can empathise with the weight issues. I am so pleased with the 105mm Sigma that I purchased a Kenko Pro 300 1.4X converter to go with it. Because the Sigma is sharp the TC works well with good results and retains AF. My gear is...

    Help choosing a lens please.

    Your assumptions are correct, a 400mm lens would give 400X1.6 = 640mm in comparison to the Lumix 432mm. The min focus distance of the 170-500mm is 3m.

    Excel hyperlinks to photoshop

    John Yes I did but I am puzzled as to why Excel does this and does not follow the assigned file associations. It would seem that it is neccessary to remove MS Photo Editor from your system in which case the expected file association is adopted, or the intervention of another program forces...

    Excel hyperlinks to photoshop

    As an experiment, I inserted a hyperlink into an Excel document and I get the same problem as John. Hyperlinked pics open up in MS Photo editor whereas all other pics open up according to their file associations. Pxl8's solution regarding removing MS photo editor seems very likely to work...
