With that thread title
(How excited am I?!?!??!),
I was thinking more along the lines of Mae West ...

or as you just pleased to see me"

I like receiving parcels in the post too.

Nice niko, i've got 2 canon 1100d's 1 modded for astro and 1 unmodded.
Let us know how your lens's go, i need to get some more lenss for my camera.

Good stuff niko. any reason you chose the 90mm macro over the 105mm macro? I thought the latter was a better lens.

Hey Niko, nice little collection of stuff on the way there.

Someone said to me recently and I quote,

"Money can't buy you love,
But it can buy you stuff,
And I Love Stuff"

The other Nico.

Nice kit Niko. Are you going to mod the camera to take film?


"Money can't buy hapiness but it can buy you a better state of misery"


Look forward to the results.

Neale.

thanks guys. I've set up a seat by the letterbox!

Bo - I went with the Tamron largely because of price though all the reviews seem to view it favourably compared to the Sigma.

Mill - sorry mate - hectic at this end of town - perhaps best I just post to you.

nico - here's hoping they send it to the right one of us!

Neale - if I pull out all that electronic guff I'm sure I can get a good ol' roll of film in there
