    Need help with my decking plans

    eniacs, nice decking, I like the smooth finish style. Few questions for you, or anyone else with similar decking... 1) What decking board did you use? (or is it just normal treated timber?) as the 2 major timber merchants near me in north Manchester only seem to sell decking board that is...

    Camera suggestions for hill walking/backpacking? weatherproof?

    Hi, I currently own... Sony A65 body Sony 16-105mm Lens (SAL16105) Sony 35mm Prime Lens (SAL35F18) ...which I rarely use :( I've only used it a couple of times this year, as I generally don't end up taking it places as I always feel its either too big and heavy to carry, or...

    These pans any good?

    Thanks, the main differences I could see... Tefal = Heavier/thicker. Rubber/silicone handles and looked like better rivets holding the handle to the pan. They were in TKmaxx (at £15-£20 depending on pan size), so I dont know the normal price though. They were called 'Tefal Total Non-Stick...

    Soundbase / soundbar for inside a media cabinet?

    Thanks gEd, I don't really like the look of the tv sat on top of a soundbase, and the media cabinet currently has nothing on either shelf (all dvd's / blurays are all ripped to a NAS elsewhere and streamed to the TV). Hence me wanting to put some speakers in the shelf area. From your advice, I...

    Anyone got any advice about whether a soundbase will sound too boomy inside a media cabinet? (on the shelf).

    Soundbase / soundbar for inside a media cabinet?

    Hi, I've got the media cabinet in the link below, and now need to get some better speakers for the Samsung TV. Budget is ideally around £200 to £300, although that can flex a bit. http://media.pinesolutions.co.uk/images/products/808.827.1.5.jpg I don't really have the space for a full...

    Which lens for backpacking with a Sony A65?

    In the end I managed to pick up a 2nd hand Sony 16-105 complete with a hoya UV filter for £249 (with 6 months guarantee). I got it a couple of weeks ago. It's in perfect condition, and is a great lens! I also got a spare expro battery as suggested. Thanks for the advice everyone (especially...

    Which lens for backpacking with a Sony A65?

    1 at the moment, so that's a good point, thanks. Are OEM off the rainforest ok? or go for Sony only?

    Which lens for backpacking with a Sony A65?

    Space, weight, and hassle. I'm only taking hand luggage.

    Which lens for backpacking with a Sony A65?

    Thanks for the advice, and links to reviews. I'm going to bob into my local camera shop for a chat and to see what they have, but at the moment I'm leaning towards the Sony 16-105 you mentioned. I like the 16mm wide angle aspect of it, plus it also gives me a fair bit more reach than my...

    Which lens for backpacking with a Sony A65?

    I only want to take 1 lens, so taking 2 primes, or 1 prime and a zoom, isn't really what i'm after. The latest tamron 16-300 does get a good write up, but is also at the top of my budget (max £400ish)... hence wanting to check other options. I'll check out the Sony 16-105 and Sony 18-135, as...

    Hi, I am going backpacking for a few weeks and want to take my Sony A65 and only 1 lens! Any advice on which lens to take/go for? budget is few hundred tops (say £400ish, although naturally I'd prefer to spend £200ish lol) I've currently got the kit lens 18 - 55 (SAL1855) and a DT 1.8/35...

    Decent OSX-compatible Mouse?

    I've got the anywhere MX and its great. Works perfect on osx too. I imagine both mice you mention are great mice, and its just a choice of size/form factor/portability.. rather than 1 being better than the other. Personally i'd rather have a portable mouse, to go with a laptop... but if...
