discussion, gear, and photography journal
Martin
I'm Martin (aka martybugs or mpot), a photographer based in Western Australia. I have been interested in photography for many years, and this blog is where I share some of the things I have photographed, learned and discovered along the way.

The blog contains photographs and photography projects, equipment reviews, tutorials and tips, and various other photography-related articles. There's also plenty of material covering some of the practical problems and experiments that come with photography, along with the occasional post on subjects that don't quite fit into the usual categories.

You can keep up with new posts using the blog's RSS feed or subscribe to updates by email.

I hope you find something useful or interesting here.

Hi Martin
I found your blog in researching an error 99 with my canon lens 17-85mm, which seems to be a not uncommon fault with these lenses. Your blog directed me to a man in Brisbane, Peter Parnell, who has successfully fixed a number of these, and most recently mine as well, for a cost of $95 plus postage, much cheaper than canon could do and I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone with a similar lens problem.

Thankyou Martin for your blog, and to Peter for his expertise and great service
Paul

@Paul: Thanks for the feedback.

I'm glad to hear you have your 17-85mm lens repaired, and I'm happy that my blog helped to put you in contact with Peter Parnell in Brisbane.

It's stories like yours that make the time and effort I put into my website worthwhile ;-)
