    The Photography Show - is it worth it?

    WEX in London is pretty good, lots of gear out to touch.

    Cotswold and Panamoz

    e-infinity are definately competitive here in the UK but I haven't tried them yet; have had good experiences on the whole from HDEW and Cotsworld so far. I like these as they offer 3 years warranty/cover where as I think its just 1 year with e-infinity.

    Cotswold and Panamoz

    Has anyone had any luck getting an email reply from Cotswold recently? I used to get quick replies but now I haven't had any response to the last 2 queries I sent.

    Premium bonds winnings.

    A dissapointing month for us, just circa £250; we were hoping for higher as had a big household bill to pay out for.

    Black Friday or Not?

    I hate how black Friday in the UK has morphed into a Black month...I don't think you get as many special deals as the shops want you to think. It's just too much noise, like others have said to offload excess/old stock.

    Used equipment bought from MPB, Wex, Park Cameras etc

    I have had a rough time with buying used camera gear over the last 18 months from stores (no issues trading in mind). I bought an EF 70-200 F4L IS II from LCE which I had to return due to an intermittent communication error with the camera. I then bought a EF 70-200 F2.8L IS II from LCE which...

    Grey or UK?

    I've never had that situation but then I think both times I've ordered, its been shipped from stock that they have had at their depots as delivery was quick.

    Grey or UK?

    Just following this up, going the Park route (they have offered £110 more than mpb) but on the Used Sale Form you need to confirm and warrant that "The products were purchased inside the EU. You also acknowledge that we reserve the right to require documentary evidence confirming this to be the...

    Grey or UK?

    Yeah, I've done so before as well but I dithered today on a trade in (OM-3), ended up cancelling it but have now changed my mind and the re-quote is much lower :ROFLMAO:.....Live and learn.

    Grey or UK?

    Just following on from this, has anyone had any issues trading in grey gear to UK camera shops. I have had success with mpb who didn't bat an eyelid but has anyone had any success with Wex/Park/the others?

    Grey or UK?

    Agree; a few years ago I always used to buy used but recently used prices tend to be more than new grey which has forced my hand really. I've also had a bad experience with used gear from actual stores so that has pushed me this way. Can't fault either of HDEW or Cotsworld Cameras at this point.

    Grey or UK?

    Mission accomplished so far; just got to act not too excited when using the camera for the first few weeks...
