Yes please Paul. That would be grrreat mate.
I'm splashing out tonight and ordering an EOS C-Mount adapter for the G-Star. Hopefully I can get it express posted and have it by this weekend. I can then use our 300mm lens with the camera.

Thanks again Paul. That would be better, save me fretting over the post arriving on time.
Have I told you lately that you're a top bloke?

Josh,
You are going to have the best time.
We all have a ball at Ron's.
Good company, dark skies, you couldn't ask for more.

I hate to say it, but I'm kinda hoping that pulp mill goes ahead because we'd get to see Phil and HRH Liz more often.

Bug spray is a MUST at Ron's... not to far from a creek!
But the skies easily make up for it!
