  9. Apologies, yes, thats what he does. (stilletto and teardrop incidentally) but still, this implies that aside from the locking stows, the other stows are there mainly to keep things neat and tidy? thay play no part in the opening sequence? (Also thinking about the berger bag thread - some people like mjosparky have hundreds of umps with stowless bags.) Sorry if i am talking rubbish - just trying to understand.

  10. BWAHAHAHAHA!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  11. I pack for a guy who freestows his lines and gets fine openings - I have never understood linedump. Now if the canopy is out of the bag before linestretch i can see that making a difference hence its a good idea to have firm locking stows. Why should having the lines free give slammers?

  15. To add to what AggieDave said, get a REALLY loud alarm clock, and here is the key bit.... PUT IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM! That way you can't roll over, turn it off and go back to sleep. Works for me Never try to eat more than you can lift

  19. Just heard the announcement on the radio! Might actually get some tickets!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  20. Just curious but why would this help? Doesn't the hard opening come from the part after the canopy is out of the bag? FWIW - my Sabre opened fine after i stopped messing around with "tricks" (rolling cells into the nose etc) and just learnt to pack it properly..... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  21. This is a bit like skydiving disciplines - its nothing new, someone has just given it a new name. But yes that is Laird, and he is extremely good at it! (but check out the wave - we don;t get many like that in north devon......!) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  22. Thanks - i was just guessing that technology progression would naturally bring prices down but never mind!! Start saving for that 20d then! (or whatever the next one is....) just out of interest, where were you reading about the canon future product lines? (And thanks Billo - that clarifies a lot of stuff) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  23. yeah - it searches more than newer ones as well but i figure that is to do with the body itself and i can live with it. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  24. Hi all, i have a Canon EOS RT (old 600 series but with the funky fixed mirror) which i love and have used heavily for the last 15 or so years, but i am very aware that the AF is WAAAY slower than some of the newer models out there. I think the motor for the AF may be in the lens so my question is, if i replace the lens will it breathe a new lease of life? I am not ready for jumping camera yet, and i want to put off joining the digital revolution until i am ready, largely due to funding issues and i would rather wait till there is a 35mm sensor at a reasonable price. I do love certain features of mine (5fps motordrive and the fixed mirror) and they are ideal for a lot of the photography i do (mainly sports) so i don't really want to get a new body, but am open to opinions. Thanks all!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
