yeah well i was thinking Ebay but not sure who to deal with or just take a stab in the dark and just buy the cheapest 20D package i can find!!!

Or do i pay a little extra and just buy the body from a shop and get the lens, card and accessories from Ebay???

<_<

Guys Guys Guys STOP RIGHT THERE!!!

You buy cannon cameras so that you can have their LENSES NOT THE BODY!!!!

With out lense its USELESS!!

Get camera with Good lense. FULL STOP!!!

cheers

Joe

lol

what on earth are you talking about joe

not bad

although it comes with no lens :)

thats a good thing

buy that

and then buy a tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for your walkaround lens

or whatever lens you want to buy

saving yourself money, and you dont get dodgy kit lenses

Yeah i realise that the lens is what makes the photo.

But my point was that camera was pretty expensive considering it didn't come with anything else.

Im in two minds at the moment.

1) Do i just hold off and buy a 20D with the 90-300mm Canon lens

2) Get the 350D with a better lens and go from there!!!

90-300 lens is shit.

it seems like youre only buying a 20d to wank over, rather than use the extra features, so just get the 350d with a good lens

Well no i wanted to get the 20D as its a better camera and i belive that once i get used to it and all the features and be able to shoot in manual mode then i can get better photo's for what i want to do.

I said the 90-300 lens as thats what would come with the camera if i bought it locally here in the shops.

I know its a tad to slow for what i want and didn't plan on using it for very long.

Was going to look at either Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 to start or save about $1200 and buy the Canon 70-200.

No its the photographer that makes the foto, not the camera nor the lens. Both are just an extension of their eye!! :tongue:

But yes lens's are more important than bodies when it comes to sharpness, contrast & overall pic quality.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
