bifta23

that looks like a film lens...so with the crop factor on the nikon it will not be 30mm more like 50mm. if you are on a budget you honestly can't go wrong with sigma lenses there is a new 28-70mm which is a beezer of a lens and 1/3 of the price of 17-55mm. will look out some links to reviews for you

you need one of the newer models sb-600 or 800. will let you try one of these:up: you'll pick them up cheap on ebay. bought a d200 grip with two batteries from japan for 120 last week

which model did you buy?

flash has the full bifta lens...Nikkor 70-200mm/2.8 lovely

Nikkor 17-55mm

yeah they are clever with their marketing tho' an advertise the s3 as 12Mp must be on the verge of releasing a new model with the price drop

is it an older lens? try setting the aperture ring to f32 as it errors if you are using auto focus. nikon cameras come up with F:EE or similar when this happens. if i were you mate, would be tempted to send it back and pick up an s3 as they are down to just over 600 quid now and you will enjoy the benefits of a more up to date camera.

pixmania are a total nightmare mate… had similar experience and gave up waiting an eternity for a camera and eventually after much hassling got a refund. Heard plenty of other folk complaining about them too Get a refund and go somewhere else.

aahh bugger indeed... just ordered the peeping tom album - hopefully its amazing as it sounds.

got a hold of this last week and it's fantastic – canny recommend it enough wished i could make the second night of zorn at the barbican where he pays tribute to crowley. moonchild is being premiered along with another new piece for choir and ensemble - Evocation of a Neophyte and How the Black Arts were Revealed unto Her by the Demon Baphomet hopefully they are recorded and released later on. Lepeep – reckon you should go along and file a review for us all! http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/event-detail.asp?ID=4299

conference of the birds is fantastic and i've prolly played this more than the debut. om really get under your skin and get better with repeated listens. they have a split 10" coming on neurot with current 93 which is going to be a classic as well speaking about current 93 - tibet's new album black ships ate the sky is a masterpiece. guest vox from marc almond, antony, bonnie prince billy, shirley collins. ben chasny and michael chasmore on guitar and a host of other folk. one of my albums of the year so far!

Buy them all...they are all amazing in different ways. Souls At Zero was the first one I heard and have consumed them all since then. The collab with Jarboe is a masterpiece. And if they tour over here again anytime soon make sure you don’t miss out!

fighting with wire rock!
