You need to speak with Dr Who then - he seems to have a magic tool that will sort out just about anything he points it at ........

Come on Nikon!! You can do it!!!

I'll settle for the same, but being greedy, would a dedicated 1.4 converter be too much to ask as well?

Also, could it be made to hover, to obviate the use of a tripod!
My grandkids will probably be able to buy one, but I cant see Mr Nikonsan knocking it out at £500!

Nothing so grand as your dream Zoom lens Wizzo, I just want a camera bag that does everything! I have about four different bags here and not one is perfect. If I was rich i would get a custom made one

[wizzo]

Yeah I agree Equus! I own, and have owned, numerous camera bags and I'm not sure that there is a perfect bag. I love Billingham and always end up going back to them. I also have Lowepro, which are excellent too, imo. However, at the moment, I just use the Billingham for all of my gear and carry the 'Big Bertha' seperately! Wizzo
