Planning ahead

[simpo two]

Just a toe in the water...

I'm swapping e-mails with a bride-to-be (stoppit!) and she asked if I had another camera of equal quality in case the main one broke on the day...

I can borrow a Canon 10D at a push but wouldn't feel confident using it for an important occasion, and it doesn't have the lenses and flash I need.

If it's a deal-breaker, are there any PH D70-owners in Essex/Suffolk who might be prepared to lend me their body (stoppit!) for a day? It's highly unlikely to be used.

Just go and buy a D2X - you know you want to!







I'd offer to help, if I were a bit closer (honest!)

[Ian_H]

TBH even if the bride didn't ask about a second body, I don't think I would shoot any wedding without a backup camera, hell I don't even shoot motorsport without a second body.

All IMHO of course.


Cheers

When I get married, I think I'll insist on a back up body, too. Sounds like a great idea. Will keep her permanently too, methinks!


<Phnar, phnar>


Mrs Beano probably won't agree, though.


Oh - I see, a second Nikon? That'd be nice too!

"I'm swapping e-mails with a bride-to-be"

My lucks out then?



Good luck sir (both body and body wise).

[imperialism2024]

You could borrow mine... except I'm probably a few thousand miles too far away...

[beano500]

Useless fact.

When Mrs Beano and I do finally agree where to get married (probably next year), it's more likely to be in the States than Essex/Suffolk border. Or maybe the Car-RIB-bean or Middle East or.... well who knows, but sadly not East Anglia (and I don't think we could possibly afford THAT level of expenses, before you ask, John!!! )

So if we can't get Get* or Two to do the important bit (and for some reason Mrs B doesn't think I'll be capable of taking a few snaps) perhaps we'll have to ask you, Derek! I'll bring over the spare body, and a couple of lenses, and the macro kit..... OK ?

* "get Get" - geddit?

No problem. I'll share with the bride and you can have the sofa. That way you only have to feed me

Hmm I'll have to brush up on my skills by then... I can't pass up a macro kit

Hi Simpo, YHM

Well I owe you a favour anyway (kind of ) As long as there's no date clash: D100 suffice?

Intersting offer! I have 3 D70's to choose from so far, the nearest only 25 minutes away - but if he's out, I migt try my hand at a D100. Thanks; watch this space.

The power of PH eh?

[trackdemon]

Indeed! I may still want to borrow that ED of yours at some point Last ebay one I checked has gone silly money - currently £160+£7.50 postage. I missed one in Brentwood for £110 a couple of weeks back - gutted!

[V6GTO]

This is intriging.

I'd like to borrow a couple of 1D mkIIs', a 24-70L f2.8, a 70-200L f2.8 and a ring flash indefinately...can anyone help?

Could I borrow a D2X for 2005-2007?
