Thanks for the tips PMN

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the info – at least your excellent maps should stop me getting lost in the badlands of the wild and wooly North 😀 Excellent photos too (as usual), not sure mine will be anything like as good.

Looks like it’s worth me throwing a camera in my bag then – though I’ll feel a bit out of place taking photos wearing a suit and tie rather than jeans and a jacket :o. Likewise, a ‘southern softie’ wandering round the tarn in suit might earn me some very strange looks too?

As regards the lens, fortunately (?) its the Canon 70 – 300mm IS, so on my 350D its effectively 105-450mm. I can see why a prime 400mm would be a little too long there! However, I may just stick with my old Fuji S5000 superzoom as its so much more “portable” on business trips, and quality is adequate. Not sure how it’d look if I turn up to a second job interview toting the full DSLR kit….

Thanks again Paul, info very much appreciated.
