Added more stuff, I resonantly bought.

I wish the rain would stop, so this boy can go out and play with his new lenses etc....

Kiwicolin - I got plenty of photos taken in the rain using the stormjacket...

Nice shot of a dark time in Paris...

Elemento don't be hard on yourself! It's not the best gear that makes the photo..... It's you that clicks the button, the camera just stores the photo. Today it's not about the cameras anymore..... Invest in lenses and you'll have a blast! I hope to see some shots from you using the tubes ;)

Ron - The snapshot camera does count! :lol

It might be useful to use manual focus when you are using different extension tubes :)

True, but only if you use two or three tubes at the same time. Just one works perfect in AV mode....

Still using my little Panasonic Lumix. I'll get a DSLR one day but for now I just can't afford it.

I take it everywhere though. Climb trees with it, splash through streams, you name it. Just strap the case to my hip and go. :)

I love my Panasonic LX3 too. Wish I could trade it for the LX5.

Bought myself a Canon EOS 20D through a second hand website.

Took some photos with it and it all looks great. Had one in the early days and sold it to buy me the EOS 5D I still have and still is my number one.

I'm gonna turn this camera in a IR camera next year.
