Thanks for the replies everyone. Seems like quite a mixed response from Canon.

Hi, I have used Canvas Ideas in the past and been happy with them. According to their website they have a deal on at the moment (30” x 20” for £25, plus postage). I wouldn't have thought there is much cheaper than that around?

I think you are right, though you can still make a claim if you made a purchase during the offer period.

Hi All, I am guessing that given HDEW sell grey imports, that they don't qualify for Canon's recent cash back (their website is vague: 'Please note some of our products DO NOT qualify for UK Cashback'). Has anyone successfully claimed for a purchase via them? Why I am confused is that...

I did it a few years back, parked at the Pen-Y-Pass car park, and went up via the Miner's Track, and down via the Pyg Track. While you are walking the first part of the Miner's track there are great photo opportunities of the lake, with the back drop of what I guess is the north face of...

Hi, my fishing camera at the moment is a 450D, and up until very recently have been using it with a 50mm 1.4 (I have the same flash too). For trophy shots I prefer natural light, and shoot in Aperture priority (Av), as for me depth of field is key. If you want both the angler and fish in...

5D MKII at around £1300 ish new from one of the importers is a hell of a Camera. I think you would be very happy with the images coupled with the 24/105 L you already have (that's the set up I use most of the time).

HDWE cameras certainly source some of their cameras from Asia (HK & Singapore).

Thanks for the replies everyone. I did consider the Sigma, but must admit was put off by reviews I have read on the net (supposed focusing issues).

Hi All, I have both a crop body, and a full frame, and use the old crop camera for angling trophy shots (using a 50mm 1.4, and normally shooting 6.3 or 7.1 to achieve the depth of field where both the fish, and the angler are in sharp focus). I have been very happy with the 50mm 1.4 for image...

Hi All, just joined the forum. I recently purchased a Canon 5D mkII from HDEW. I did a lot of reading up on them (various forums, including here), before deciding to use them (significant saving on an import, vs the high street). I asked HDEW a couple of questions before making the purchase...

I used them recently, purchased some Nikon binoculars ('US' spec). Competitive price, and they arrived on time. Good service.

Thanks for highlighting. I ordered from them at the back end of last week. Arrived this morning, very happy with the canvas and the service.
