BHD - Saturday 12/09/09 - AM
« on: September 08, 2009, 11:04:46 AM »
Hi all,

Just a thought, if I don't go to DUB (most likely tbh), I'll be heading down to BHD for the morning. Top level at Ikea.

Anyone up for it?

Got a company gig on Saturday but was thinking of taking a run up on Sunday if anyone's about.

Be nice to meet some of you.

If Sunday's a good day I reckon I could be there by about 1-ish

I'd be up for meeting on Sunday as well at BHD. My lens is away for repairs next week  :'(, so I might as well make the most of the good weather and take advantage of the Ikea mini cafe. I'll probably be there from 10 or 11 onwards.

Dave, you can borrow my 70-200 f4 if you want, no problem. Just let me know.

I went down and stayed until about 11.30 or so. Here's a couple of photos:

Sorry I didn't make it down, ended up in Dublin! Colin, I take it you were using the 100-400? What do you think of the lens, now that you've had a go in some good weather.

Yeah, so far so good. Seems as sharp as my 70-200 f4. At 400mm it's pretty good too, though of course it's a little softer there than in the rest of the range.
