SRB Griturn are making me a T2:6x7 adaptor so I can use them with my CCD.

I suspect there'll be quite a bit of new kit announced this week as it's "Focus on Imaging", the big photography exhibition at the NEC

just picked all this up on ebay for £70, stacks of cokin filters, a minolta 7000 SLR, tripod, a bunch of lenses and quite a bit other stuff too!
 
Re: latest buy's & heads up on new gear..

cheers Andy, i reckon those cokin filters alone would have set me back at least a £100 and there is 3 or 4 sonly alpha compatable lenses in there too, i think there is also a converter in there for using minolta MD/MC lenses with the sony's too and the md lenses are stupid cheap on ebay.

Re: latest buy's & heads up on new gear..

i use the hama63 tripod, thought it was a class tripod for the price until the wind blew it over this morning and smashed the lens on the camera.....not meaning to put you off or owt mind :) , actually it really is a decent tripod and has served me well for about 8 month and has been put through all kinds of shitty weather and came out on top....survived one or two big waves too.

I was going to ask what kind of tripod you were using mate - is there any way of weighing them down a bit?
