      Four bays, will cost a lot to ship it over i think pal, pretty heavy also. You would most probably save money buying it locally used on Ebay or even brand new.

  16. For those of you who are ignorant of such matters did you know how important regular maintenance is for your computer and other electronic devices? especially In this day and age when the devices are getting more complicated and more prone to the elements. You all remember your first car? or the car your dad let you drive right? the first thing that he should have taught you (besides not running out of gas) was checking the oil the tire pressure and the coolant level at least if not more and if like me you went into the service of your country you were taught the proper maintenance of your weapon and your kit. Well the same is to be said for your electronics if you treat them shabbily and do not maintain them you will be spending a whole lot of money you cant afford or you just will not have aforementioned electronics.througout my life I have been taught several things which somehow managed to penetrate my thick skull that men tougher than me made sure I knew despite myself. #1take care of your tools and they will take care of you and the one that REALLY stuck with me was from my time as a combat medic in the army, If your gear is broke dick then the men you are supposed to take care of will die along with if your weapon isn't properly maintained then YOU will die. pretty sobering eh? We spend a lot of our hard earned time and money to enjoy our hobby and I would be remiss in the way I learned to learn one do one and teach one if I did not bring up the reality of good old-fashioned preventative maintenance checks. I really don't think the industry has been able to teach this due to roses law but I think the time has come for us to learn what it means to be good stewards of not just our conspicuous consumption of electronics and the ecological impact of what it does to the environment but if you take into account that the industry is feeding us iPhones proce3ssors PCBs etc at an incredible rate that we really need to look at the long term. and by that, I mean trying to make what you have last as long as possible and not go right out and camp out at the apple store for the new iPhone or the Verizon store for the new galaxy etc. there is quite a few very simple ways to maintain your equipment that will keep your gear working just as good as the new stuff and make it last at LEAST 5 years as long as you don't listen to the fools and let the mob rule and rush out to get the newest gear (ooooooo shiny).I have had a note 3 now for 5 years now and even though I treated it somewhat cavalierly my big old brick of an Asus g75vx rog laptop got me through close to the same until it died a month or so ago we need to all take a certain responsibility in life to leave this planet a better place or at least not screw it up for the next guy as much as we can and part of that is just simple maintenance. its pretty simple really just think of how you like to be treated and the amount of respect that you need to feel validated in life and reserve some for the next guy take care
  17. quick tip from one photog to another chemical hand warmers. keep some in your gear bag and your body and lens as close to them as possible not only will they help with the o-rings they will also extend the life of your batteries, ice will definitely be your enemy because it will get in behind the o-rings and cause mold on your lens. also try your best not to use a telephoto lens and btw they are NOT waterproof only resistant and also not ice resistant, good luck
  18. oh and sorry for that to have happened to you even though not technically yours still sucks to have something stolen like that
  19. there is a HUGE secondary mkt in russia believe it or not plus they are wipeable and can be used as throwaways
