That's what I thought but I'm sure that I've seen it in stock somewhere recently - I just can't for the life of me remember where it was. Could just be me going crazy though. Seems odd that it hasn't been released here yet though as I'm sure that they were released about 18 months ago...

Bit of a random one this but does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that has the Canon BR-E1 actually in stock? I've tried everywhere that I can think of and everywhere either shows as not having stock, having it available to order or, in the case of Mifsuds, showing that it is in stock but not...

So I reported it to Amazon and they appear to be denying everything. Interestingly they have said that they source all their stock "from authorised suppliers, directly from the manufacturer and reputable sources." They have also said that they "don't have any more inventory of this item and...

:LOL: I meant direct from Park Cameras haha - learned my lesson about buying from Amazon or any of their third party sellers...

I've not yet heard back from B+W themselves (presumably because it's the weekend) but I've decided to just go ahead and request a refund from Amazon. There's no way that this is real what with the weight discrepancy and also the code / model name on the box not adding up. I'll try to get in...

I liked mine - only sold it as I moved to full frame. I'd agree with the above though - an ultra-wide angle lens is a bit of a specialised tool but if they were definitely going to use it then I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.

My thoughts too - they'd have to change their whole business model with regards items that both they and third parties sell... Looks like I won't be buying any more filters from Amazon then... Must just be chance this time as the others I've bought were all from them too and they all appear to...

That was my thought - the weight was noticably different between the two even before I put them on the scales and it isn't one of the models that they make in something other than brass. I have two 72mm XS-PRO UV-HAZE 010M filters and they weight precisely the same amount (31g). That's a good...

It's possible I suppose. I don't think I have any local shops that would stock B+W filters. I live in Ashford, Kent so I think the nearest would probably be London... Thanks for the link - much appreciated. I have the boxes for the other filters in the loft so I'll compare them with this one...

I have bought a few B+W filters over the last few years, the most recent 2 of which from Amazon (themselves not a third-part seller) - one was bought this week and one in January. I opened the most recent one today and am not convinced that it is a genuine product. Below I have put a couple of...

From what I've read the 6d is definitely a step up from the 5dII - I've recently bought a 6d and am very impressed with the quality of the images in low light compared with my previous camera (a 70D). I'd say go for it for now and then see where you go from there :)

I'm impressed by mine - massive step up from a kit lens. Nice and sharp too in my experience even at f/2.8 (although is sharper if you stop down). The only one thing I had to get used to was not inadvertently holding the focus ring whilst it was autofocusing as it moves.
