I see you are correct, adding 5.5% to the transaction at checkout does seem a little unscrupulous. Given the addition of the surcharge there prices don't really compete after al against other online companies for example WEX or Clifton. I guess its upto to each buyer to make there own choice.

How does the tamron image quality compare with the 15-85?

Discounting the fact that the 17-55 is f2.8 rather than f4 and the relative sharpness of each lens does the 24-105 f4 produce punchier colours/contrast over the 17-55? This is my aim, to buy a single lens for long term use and general images of my kids playing. The sigma 10-20 is great however...

Thankyou Arad, I do like the sound of the 15-85. We're the images both sharp and had good colour sharpness and contrast?

While I appreciate that a lens does not make a photographer good or bad, technique does, my question was not "Please tell me why my images are dull and lucklastre". I plan to buy a new lens in the coming weeks, I appreciate the look of the sigma 10-20 straight out of the camera however i do not...

I already have a 10-20mm and a 18-55 is stm but I am not too impressed with the 18-55. It's fast and sharp but lacks punch and contrast. If a 24-105 or 24-70 offer better colour and contrast it would mean less time on the computer making my images more punchy.

i am aware of the physical benefits of a quality lens such as watertight seals and longevity however are there any optical benefits of an l lens versus non l ef-s on crop sensors I.e. A 70d. I plan to buy a new standard lens in a few weeks but wondered if there is any point waiting to save more...

I think Allagain have stated all they can here now. They have been as honest as possible and stated how they operate. It's upto the buyer to choose if the products lower price is worth the cons of buying without the right to a full refund if they open the package and change there mind.

I know there are a lot of reviews out there for both lenses but I am interested in whether if price were equal is the 10-22 usm a better option than the usm. Forget the IS and filter size/weight as well, this is purely about image quality and lens reliability.

Thanks stu.ard that link seems to matx my findings. I will try the suggestions and try to expose correctly in the future. At 30 seconds the correct exposure would probably have been 2 minutes or 4 minutes. At the time I didn't have a shutter release cable but now I do I plant to test its use and...

Flickr account created. Here is the untouched JPEG (exported from RAW with no PP applied): https://www.flickr.com/photos/127507724@N04/15132374955/in/photostream/ Here is the retouched JPEG with a sharpening of 30 and luminance of 50, I adjusted to remove clipping from whites and blacks...

I cant upload a raw or I don't a know a method to do so but here is an image captured at night using manual focus, which has lead to the image being soft, at ISO 100 for 30 seconds. No noise reduction or sharpening applied at all but I have adjusted in photoshop to bring the histogram to the...

I guess excessive noise at low ISO is a very subjective issue, it may be that canon get the camera test it and say the camera is working as per specifications. Why then would jessops offer a refund or credit following Canons assessment? The camera has many benefits over the 400d it replaced with...

Unfortunately it's an online sale and would excessive noise need to be tested by the seller before offering credit?
