Yup, it does, http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-Wireless-Trigger-Receiver-Shutter/dp/B0042TYNJ4 is what I had/have tagged currently if it's a problem I want to solve. So whilst it can be worked around after-market for a handful of dollars, is it a problem I'm going to hit enough to make it worth while fixing? (Canon official is ~$600 (http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10051_157735_-1))
I was/am surprised that the camera focuses at shutter depress as apposed to before taking the photo which just seems logical (to me) in a self-timer mode.
It's the first time I've hit the issue, will see how time & light goes, might be a moot issue until next summer anyhow. Either manual focus for the odd occasion, or keeping clear of the delicious delicious bokeh are 'free' fixes. Any money spent on a camera body that is 5 years old is hard to swallow, vs something I know is future proof for another 5 years, even if greater upfront cost….

Sometimes in life, we get talked about behind our backs by people who should know better. Maybe if these people brought their issues to us, or chose to discuss them publicly, they would see how wrong they are?
Apologies for being cryptic, not something I want to go into, just feeling the need to rant and this looks like the place

^ right place, right time buddy…so rant away!

it's actually pretty easy to do a waywt with a prime lens WITHOUT someone taking the shot or WITHOUT a remote to get the focus right! all I do is…-
turn the camera body sideways so that you don't have to step too far away just to have everything in the frame!
-
"mark" the spot where you want to stand by focusing that spot using AF!
-
turn camera body as far up so that the marked/focused spot is down at the bottom when looking through the camera (should be the spot where your
bootsBirkies gonna be!) -
switch lens to MF & set timer (10sec.)
-
go to said marked point and wait till camera takes the pic(s)
-
done

Anyone experience stuff shipped ems from another country to the US? It was shipped on the 11th. All tracking says is accepted! In the 11th, now it's the 16th! It is supposed to take 4-6 days.. You would think there would be any other tracking update!? It's coming from Thailand
-
Wow snowy. Thanks. So there's no consistency.. If I track it through Thailand tracking it says it is in Allentown and out for delivery since Friday?! I don't even live in Allentown , it's an hour away, and usps tracking says nothing more than that it was accepted in Thailand

After 5 years, my faithful old Samsung 50" TV just died (common fault), exactly when I didn't need a £500 bill

I thought it was meant to be Spring ?

Just last night I had a crazy dream that I absolutely have to share with you…
For some reason, I was in a hardware store where a friend of mine had (foolishly) left to the cash position a pair of my jeans (my 634sr, now very rare. Don't know way he did something so thoughtless, but you know, dream-logic...).
The clerk tells me lost them!
At the time I was in disbelief, then began to mount in me in a devastating rage. I started to disassemble the store piece by piece.
At one point jumps out a package with a pair of jeans inside. They was not my 634sr, but a couple of dime pre-distressed stupid Levi's! One of those "Engineered" models they launched back in the late '90. I was desperate, but all of the sudden, in the back pocket of those Levi's I found the the true owner's I.D. and stuff!
"Ah!", I said to the clerk "good try, but these are not mine!".
So I continued to disassemble the store, spreading on the ground all the goods exhibited…
Then I woke up.
The memory of the dream was still alive in me later, when, checking the mail, I found a message from G. who informed me of the availability of IHSH-78 ... -
I know what you mean Mega. It's 55 degrees now and tomorrow we are supposed to get 4-8" of snow.

Apparently the "NO SOLICITING" sign on top of my "DOG ON PREMISES" sign isn't enough of a clue…I think I need a "SOLICITORS WILL BE FED TO DOG" sign
I've found it helpful to answer the door with, "Oh- you're not my parole officer!" while not wearing pants.
