    D600 - £2000!

    If you look on Amazon UK and the equivalent USA site you will see than the Dollar price and the Sterling price are almost the same, at around 2000. With an exchange rate of $1.6 to £1 it seems to be the case that we in the UK have to pay a lot more for this product (roughly 50% more) than our...

    Big Norman- burglary?!

    Be persistent with the cc company if they initially turn down your request. I had a similar problem with another supplier and the cc company (HSBC) initially turned down my chargeback and gave me the impression that this was their automatic response to any sort of request of this type saying...

    Nikon D7xxx owners thread

    Hi, I have the flashing LED issue with mine and am interested in the "piece of cardboard" solution. Could you tell me where I need to place it (polite answers only;) ) Thanks

    Manfrotto-190XB and 391RC2 Head £39

    Tell them that you know others have got 40% discount and you think that they should offer you the same.

    Manfrotto-190XB and 391RC2 Head £39

    I got 40% refund, would have prefered the head but still £23 for a set of legs that usually retails for about £100 is good.

    Manfrotto-190XB and 391RC2 Head £39

    I have e-mailed them as well via Amazon. If they offer me a 40% refund I would be okay with that. Like you said £23 for a relatively light but rigid tripod isn't bad.

    Has anyone dealt with Panamoz?

    I bought my D7000 from them back in November. They were far cheaper than anywhere else and delivery was very quick (3 days), fully tracked and they communicated with me very efficiently all the way through the transaction and afterwards. I would use them again. P.S. I seem to remember reading...

    Any Tamron 70-200 2.8 users?

    I use to own the Tamron 70-200mm which I found to be extremely sharp, as most reviewers confirm. However, ended up selling it due to the slow AF which was not good enough for anything that was not virtually stationery. Cannot understand why Tamron have not updated the AF to a sonic wave type as...

    Wide angle for d300s?

    I had previously used the Sigma 10-20mm before going full frame & quite liked it at the time. I have recently bought the Tokina 12-24mm to go with my newly acquired D7000 and what a difference - I love this lens. The build quality of the Tokina seems to be far superior to the Sigma, was never a...

    sending stuff to italy

    I have a brother who lives in Milan and he thinks that the postal service in Italy is so unreliable that if he needs to get anything sent by mail he has it sent to my parents' UK address & picks it up when he comes to visit! My advice to anyone considering using the Italian postal service for...

    anyone know if jessops budge in prices?

    I tried to get them to price match a D3000 kit for my brother with Calumet. The difference was £15 but the manager would not budge on price. About 18 months ago they did advertise that they would price match in various photo magazines & I managed to get the same branch to drop their price by...
