Very nice but how are you going to get to those interesting places to take a beautiful photo without the lockers?

OK mate he owns a defender so no probs in getting to those hard spots for photos

But its a Nikon

And theres me thinking a Landy owner would have discerning taste

Tombraider

I had been saving up for a maxi locker for Kimba, but......something else caught my eye and I have bought a new camera and lens.

Magnesium alloy body.....5fps.....10meg......and it works a treat!





Hmmmm.....Nikon D200



Alright....sorry, back to Landies and saving for that locker again.....

mmm i want lockers and the misses want one of those camera. at the moment she has(you will know more than me what they are ) A minolta 7 (somthing) 35 mm film one and a minolta 7d digital (so they are both the same body.)
Best bit is she has given me her old Minolta dimage 7 digital camera.For off road days and stuff

but a fit between us on which lockers or camera

Very nice camera.

I wanted to buy one before a trip I did to South America earlier this year but the back log of orders meant it wouldn't have arrived in time so I bought a d70s and a couple of new lenses instead.

Which lens did you pick up?

If your into candid lowlight photography you can't go past the Sigma 40 1.4, the best slr lens I have ever used, but then again I am a fan of the fixed lenses.

Look forward to seeing some of the results you get with the new setup.

a Defender driver should be using an FM2, or better still something Euro like a Leica

Mr Tombraider -- Nikon = Land Rover (uncompromised and function over form). Canon = Toy/Nissan (built for the masses).

Pedro -- I think 10MB will keep me going, cannot really see the need for increased pixels for what I am doing. The stores love comparing megapixels, but at the end of the day there is very little between 6MB and 10MB....except for the need to upgrade your computer.

At the end of the day, bodies come and go, lenses are the real investment.

Reads -- does she want to jump from Minolta to Nikon? How many lenses does she have?

Dobbo -- Kimba has never really let us down without the lockers and we have been to some lovely places. The lockers are more for the fun

Now for the maxis....
