  1. No worries Glenn. A few months ago now I purchased a near new Canon 40D (semi prof) DSLR body from a photographer on trade me for $1200, RRP at the time was about $2200. I then picked up a standard 18-55mm kit lens for $100 and a 50mm Prime Lens for $120. This setup is more than enough for me to keep me entertained/frustrated, produces fantastic photos and didnt break the bank! Dont want to throw a spanner in the works but take a look at the 40D or 50D if you can push that far. The build quality is far superior to say the 1000D, 450D, 500D. More of a semi prof camera before heading the full frame option. It pays to take your time, and shop around. Let me know if you have any more questions
  2. Hi Glenn. In all honesty I think that when you purchase a new DSLR youre not going to be wanting to put your old lenses on it! Esp when you can get good kit lenses cheaply that produce great results. As mentioned above I think that the focal length will change due to the sensor size of the two cameras being different. This is called "crop sensor" Rule of thumb is to multply the focal lens of your old lenses by 1.6 As above, buy a camera with a kit lens. Its a great way to get started and learn the camera not to mention the cheapest alternative. The 500D you've linked looks to be a very sharp price! It comes with a good wide angle (18-55mm) and a good zoom lens (55-250mm) These will be perfect to get you up and running, producing great results. One thing to look at is the warrenty. It looks as if you have to send back to the seller who then sends it to Hong Kong. Just be wary of this. I know its a more expensive option but buying from a well reputed company can be invaluable when it comes to any problems/questions you may have. Hope this is of some help. Cheers Brett
  3. Very Nice! I love E39 Motorsports esp 540's.
  4. Ive just been down to the local supermarket and on my way in I stumbled across this............I wonder who stole who's idea? Very very similar
  5. Very sharp. Shame its an auto! $3500? he's taking the piss!. Im not looking forward to the day I have to sell my E36. I swear if someone insulted me by offering that sort of money id be round at their house with a baseball bat to knee cap them.
  6. Thats a solid offer! You say you'll still be loosing money but the problem is that when you mod a car to this extent, very rarely do you re-coup all your costs.
  7. Looking good. Very similar to my set up actually I have to do a post of mine. Nothing more rewarding than doing it yourself! Good stuff

  14. Wonder if someone offered him more than the 3k buy now? lol at Brook trying to buy the is lip
  15. Not trying to hijack your for sale thread but your price is extremly high! I would say half your buy now price would be more realistic. Good Luck
  16. 8K Can I ask where you picked it up for that price? Very nice btw!
  17. Have always been keen on one of these for the E36 but just cant be arsed getting it painted. I know they can go on as is but im just not sure if it'll look any good on my car being, shall I say it........dark dark purple
  18. Send Nick021 a PM. He removed his spoiler recently. Your car will look sh*t hot with it removed IMO.
  19. It dosnt always have to be about E30's! Nice car, good buying
