    I was looking at getting some CF cards from Discount Digital Photographics, and was wondering if anyone had had any recent experiences with them. Their prices on CF cards seem quite good - at least by Australian standards. (http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au/)

    Still enjoying the G11

    I went out after work to look at the Webb Bridge in Melbourne after sunset, with a view to coming back later with a DSLR. Unfortunately, lacking a really wide angle, you can't really get interesting shots inside the bridge with the G11. I'll need to make another visit with the 5DII and the...

    Sigma 120mm-300mm f/2.8

    News that's a couple of days old already: http://www.dpreview.com/news/1106/11060105sigma120-300.asp What is interesting is that this is the first time I am aware of Sigma launching a lens with some sort of "splash-proof design" (sic). I would be interested to see if they update lenses like...
