    Thanks Kerriebr, but doesn't that just add a thumbnail to click on to see the full photo in another tab/window. I was originally trying to embed an 800 pixel wide photo within the post itself. It's just that I'm more used to forums (fora?) which use the later vBulletin software. I was...

    Waterproof/Breathable Over-trousers

    You could do worse than visiting your local army surplus store. Both the British DPM and German Flektarn ones do the job at a good price. Both are made of Goretex. I also have some Sprayway black stretchy all day trousers that are quite good, but they do get a bit hot when the sun comes out.

    Digitalrev: trusted dealer?

    Hello from another bit of snowy Sheffield, Crookes is a bit wild at the moment. Never used DigitalRev as they as China based. Might be worth having a look at what Ian Kerr (Kerso) has to offer.

    Olympus E-620

    Cristian, Have you tried giving the AF sensor in the bottom of the camera body a good blow out with a puffer brush? The Giottos Rocket Blower is pretty good, just don't use canned or compressed air. The same goes for the area under the mirror, again be careful as the mirror surface is easily...

    Bausch & Lomb 10x42 Elite Eyecups

    Hi Folks, I've just picked up a pair of very nice used B&L 10x42 Elites 62-4210 I knew when I got them that one of the alloy twist up eyecups was damaged, but expected to be able to get a replacement from Bushnell UK. It seems that neither they nor Germany stock spares for this model as they...
