That's a nice park... well-looked after and the owner of that particular lodge (John) is a good guy who will look after you well. He also has a few other lodges (I think 4 in total now). Troutbeck is also a lovely valley and full of great photo opportunities. There are various agencies here...

I ran in the Lakeland Trails Marathon in Coniston this morning. Don't suppose you manage to catch any photos of that?

I ran that at the weekend. In fact, I ran from Grasmere to Staveley (around 13 miles). Beautiful day... just wish I could find a way of running with my DSLR as there were some great opportunities along the route. Rather different today, mind...

I would suggest a travel lodge or Premier Inn.

You would need to visit Haweswater to have any chance.

Welcome, Jacqui... are you aware that there is only one golden eagle in the Lake District?

They seem to be the same as West Base Electronics Ltd. who are listed here: http://www.manfrotto.co.uk/dealers?country=GB&keyword=&search=&zip=HA4+0JW&state= ...so I guess I can still buy via them. I tried to clarify by making contact with Manfrotto via the contact form on their website...

Thank you. Would Amazon be regarded as an authorised dealer? I see the Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 is £232.70 there. *edit* Actually, on the Amazon site it says: Dispatched from and sold by CameraKing UK.

Hi everyone I think I may have asked about this before (I know I did on a Google hangout) and was advised to go into my local camera shop. To be honest, they weren't much help, and pretty much said "here are our tripods" and pointed at half a dozen or so. Nothing about the pros and cons of...

Thanks, daza... I bought them both. I still don't quite understand why people would sell them that cheap. Surely they'd be better of auctioning them than having such a low BIN.

Mine's the 50D. So this battery is smaller but still fits inside, is that right? Is there a disadvantage? It seems like a huge price difference...

Thanks. I was looking for BP-511A. Is BP-514 essentially the same thing? I'm guessing it can't be as I can rarely find the former for less than £30...

Are you suggesting non-Canon branded? Sorry, but as stated earlier - and for a number of reasons - I'd like to get Canon only.

Hi there I'm wanting to buy BP-511A batteries for my Canon. I've decided it's best to buy Canon-only but I'd obviously like to get them at the best price I can. I've looked on eBay and see these two listings...

Thanks for the responses so far. I've been doing a bit of reading. Any opinions on the Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 (or Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 appears to be its successor)...?
