Is this what you are looking for---"foot for Nikon AF-S VR 70-200mm 2.8 G lens"?? If so, use this quotation to search for a foot on Yahoo (Ebay)!-- China makes them for abt. $25! Just trying to help!

Well, my experience with cataract surgery is different. The first surgery was very successful (my right eye) then I had my left eye done and I was as happy as could be with my eyesight. I had my appointments to follow up on the surgeries and it was discovered that the pressure in my right eye was getting abnormally high and I was advised to take eyedrops to lower the pressure but I was told that the eyedrops would cost in the vicinity of $100 per bottle to which I objected and then given the choice of having a "device" put in my eye socket to drain the fluid causing the excess pressure. I went along with having the "device" placed. Immediately after the operation my eyesight was ruined because I was no longer able to see correctly as my right eye was seeing in a different direction like these green lizards we see on TV, i.e. my eyes were no longer compatable with my left eye--------and it is still the same today. Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment (one of several) and my eye pressure is now 18/18 as compared to normal (10-21). My eye glasses were fitted with a prism in attempting to rectify the incongruency of my right eye but this isn't working so far. My left eye is in great shape and I can still take photos!! Anyone have a similar experience????

I have seen this site listed on this forum: Rick@Discountcamerarepair.com It is located in Colorado and no, I haven't had any repair work done by Rick... of course I'd contact Canon first.

It is refreshing to see photos of Stonehedge taken from different perspectives and time of day.

I think that IR is used by dslr cameras for speedlites - that is as far as I know about IR. As far as using that spectrum to take pictures with is beyond me and it will stay that way! LOL

I agree that Sony has great camcorders! They are also ahead in photo equipment but you have to pay dearly to own these cameras and lenses. Maybe I should wait and purchase older equipment. Sony has been the leader for many years in television manufacturing too. But so far, I have been purchasing Canon DSLRs because once you start with one company you are committed to their lenses, cameras and other equipment.

I also wish that members of this forum were more civil to each other instead of bickering like little children!

There is something wrong with U.S. mail - lately the mail is delivered very late (7:30 pm) and I find that the mail workers are new and inefficient. In fact a mail truck was parked in front of the mailboxes late at night with no one around as I was checking my mailbox due to the later hours -- was there the next morning! SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE MAIL SYSTEM!

1943?? Yes, I remember!

Very nice shots! I like these birds.

That is where I got my UHH name
"Great balls of fire!"

Did you try standard plate (1/4"-20male thread?) If this is the size, it is easy to order one for a few $.

Oe, did you find one since Nov. 29th?

Very exciting activities! We have egrets too in Louisiana but are a different variety. Thanks for posting.

I can symphatize with you but at least it still works on your Pen EP-5. I started ordering flashes hoping to get a Master flash; I couldn't find any advertised with "master" in the discriptions. Poor me, I had to order three flashes of different brands till I ordered the Canon 550EX which is able to be used as a "master."

I have found that I like the results of my photos taken with a flash, especially indoors with poor lighting. And besides, I like to be exploring new things; anyway, I didn't spend that much money on the non-master flashes and I can use them as slaves. I have a couple Canons T1i and a 5D classic bodies to try my flashes on. Lots of fun!!

I hope that your flash returns to it's former self although I think the High speed sync. failed to work in Aperture Priority because of stroboscopic sync problems?

It is so difficult to find a sunpak pro 523px tripod release plate!!! I think that tripod is not worth very much. If you can't replace a part as simple as a release plate -- your tripod isn't worth anything --- sorry, that tells most of the story. I did a search on line for you and came up with nothing to help, and if you want to take a chance of ordering something that does not fit ---- forget about it.
