Sainsbury's Detergent is "Vegetarian & Vegan" - please explain ?!
I understand the desire for everything over here have to be organic free range all natural - but it does beg the question of who is planning to actually eat the detergent ...

David used to be a total organic food skeptic but has recently discovered organic broccoli and organic milk. They actually have some taste, like real food even.
how well does organic milk froth for coffee?
- Nick Takayama
actually I haven't tried it. It is $6 for 2L, lovely and super creamy with floating oils too. Should froth well I reckon.

Just sent my 135 f/2 lens back to Canon. This will be the fourth time it's been in for repair for the same autofocus problem. This is getting expensive.

so it stops autofocusing?
- Ivan Makarov
Dang, I remember when you had sent it back the third time. I don't think I've heard of anyone having as many problems with this lens as you have. The heck are you doing to it? =)
- ronin
I think I'm just using it a lot. But it should hold up better than it has in my opinion. It just won't autofocus. I think it's the focus ring because it doesn't manual focus either. It's my favorite lens and I use it to shoot with probably 80% of the time. Hopefully it comes back quick. I may also just have a lemon of a lens. You never know.
- Thomas Hawk
Maybe they should just replace it with a better copy.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
That would be nice John. We'll see. I doubt they do that. I think they like being repaid over and over again to repair it.
- Thomas Hawk
I doubt you're using it too much. You likely don't use it more than a wedding photographer who shoots 2-3 weddings a week using mostly one prime.. It shouldn't give you this problem.
- Ivan Makarov
I wonder if mine has issues, what happens?
- Paula W
for the first year it should be under warranty Paula. But after that it's not. I'd watch it. If you are having any trouble at all close to the end of the first year of ownership you might want to think about sending it in. It costs about $175 every time I have to have it repaired.
- Thomas Hawk
You've almost doubled what you paid for it in the first place, right? That's gotta hurt.
- Almond Dhukka
I sent my 50 1.4 in because the focus stopped working. It works now, but it's not like it was. The ring is sticky, and it doesn't focus as fast. When it dies again, I'm just going to replace it. And take the old one apart.
- Jeremy Brooks
Well damn. I'm finally getting this lens in a couple of weeks. Hopefully yours is an isolated event - never heard of this happening.
- Blake Caldwell
get a Nikon - they just work...wait a sec, maybe that's a Mac...uh...never mind
- johnny action
Blake, it's the best lens I've every used. Even with it's horrible repair record I'm not disappointed I bought it.
- Thomas Hawk
I loved that lens when I rented it. It would really suck to have to send it in multiple times for repair.
- Jordan Hofker
Woot, thx Thomas - again, can't wait.
- Blake Caldwell
Thomas do you find you have to step back when trying to frame shots with the 135 ? I guess you are used to the focal length now so probably change lenses if you want something wider/closer ?
- David Pascoe
My leica lenses never had autofocus issues.
- Ricardo Liberato
David, exactly, I've got a 14mm, 24mm, 50mm, 100mm macro, and my 135 that are with me whenever I'm shooting. Lots of lens switching but mostly I shoot the 135. Zooming with your feet though is one hassle of primes over zooms and is not always possible.
- Thomas Hawk
Autofocus is your friend dear Liber, remember that.
- Thomas Hawk
my canon 28-135mm hasn't auto focused for about 6 months now. out of warranty. is that what they basically charged you every time you sent it in?
- bluetick
yeah, about that. Manual focus wouldn't work either on my 135 f/2.
- Thomas Hawk
my favorite lens as well, hope you get your fixed
- tomms
th, you ever use a 1.4x extender with the 135mm? would you recommend it?
- tabbr
yeah, I've used it. Don't really like it. But I usually don't need that little bit extra bit of reach. If I do I'd likely use it on my 70-200 f/4.
- Thomas Hawk
Woah, just got my repair quote for the repair on my lens. Canon is repairing it free of charge. That's pretty cool of them.
- Thomas Hawk
Very cool
- Alex Scoble
Yay, Canon...that's great! I have to say, the 135L was my favorite lens and the one I miss the most and really only got to use it a few months before I sold my Canon gear and went all Leica.
- Susan Dennis
That's good to hear.
- Jeremy Brooks
That was nice of Canon to fix it at no charge when it's no longer under warranty. Moves like this win points with the man upstairs.
- tabbr
It was nice of Canon. It was the 4th time it had been in for the same problem. It was nice to see them recognize that and offer to fix it free this time. Normally the warranty on repairs is 6 months.
- Thomas Hawk
i dont like the extender either, ive used the 1.4 and the 2x and it felt like i lost a lot of the sharpness, which is what the 135 is known for. and because im shooting on a crop camera, i get the 1.6 anyway
- tomms
Never heard of a leica lens going in for repair four times. Not even twice.

so Zano, are you using these on your new dev machine ? I didn't realise you could do it all via keyboard shortcuts too.
- David Pascoe
from Bookmarklet
Yes I am using these features on the new box. Particularly like the half screen snaps for some comparison tasks I'm doing. Keyboard shortcuts are needed for snaps because you can't do it via mouse on a dual screen setup. Are you on Win 7 too?
- Zan Aung
I tried 7 in Virtual box on my vista desktop but that was just to have a look see. My desktop won't nee d upgrading any time soon, so not sure if/when I'll get to run it.
- David Pascoe
Well if you're happy with Vista then I hear there is not much difference. But coming from XP is great :)
