    Thunderbird / Gmail / widows issue

    True, also I find Gmail now needs 2 step authentication for a lot of email clients, make sure 2 step is activated in your Gmail account along with random password generation from Gmail itself, this won't change your actual log in details of the Gmail account it's just a secure password for the...

    Thunderbird / Gmail / widows issue

    Tripod circa £100

    I hope this is OK to ask about a tripod, I used to own a Velbon Sherpa 200R Tripod and the V4 Boom Arm but alas they are no longer available this cost me about £100 in 2016 so can anyone recommend something similar Tripod and Boom arm for the same sort of price. Thank you very much peeps. :whistle:

    Lens for a Canon

    OK which one is best as in terms of quality pictures ect the 17-40mm L F4 or the Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens, I think the 15-85 as it's newer and has more focal range for me. It's a minefield :eek: Thanks for the help it is appreciated, oh and if anyone has a link for the Canon...

    Lens for a Canon

    OK I shall buy the lens I need and not worry about resale, but EF-S would be better as they are for crop sensor cameras, but if I buy an EF lens I would have to multiply the shortest focal length by 1.6 so a 17mm would be a 27mm :oops: :$
