Yippeee! Just looked at order tracking without any optimism and low and behold - "ORDER DISPATCED". 40 days.:)

Ahh! Good to hear someone else with similar doubts got their's. As someone else said don't want to cancel only to find stock elsewhere is unavailable, I suppose there is no real rush i've waited so long before ordering (it's a lot of money to me) I can wait a little longer. Thanks Ann...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has ordered anything from Jessops where availability is referred to as "usually available within 28 days"? I have just ordered a 300 afs f4 Nikkor and am now wondering if i've made a mistake! I have developed a nagging doubt - Will they be able to fulfill my...

That sounds like a good choice, larger zoom range, image stabilisation and within (nearly) a £200 budget. As for OS/IS (depending on what initials the manufacture uses) always good to have as will improve your hand holding ability to retain sharp images without camera shake, allowing you to use...

I'd go for a lens in the 17 - 50 zoom range. I have a Tamron 17-50 2.8 and it's a little cracker. Purchased second hand from a TP member. This will give you a zoom range that will be good for both landscape and portrait photography. I went to Italy last year and broke my 18 - 200 zoom on first...

Hi tdodd, how do you meter for (weddings to pick one example) do you use a seperate hand held incident light meter or a few test shots & and adjust accordingley?

I used to use a Fotochute Smartdisk (20gig and around £60) when my camera was a Canon s2 is. Now I find it easier to carry a few compact flash cards (3 X 8 & 1X 16 GB) as 20 gig is soon filled when shooting raw+jpg. Not to mention time wasted transferring data from camera to disk only...

How much are good looks worth to you? I Have recently aquired a second hand Tamron 17-50, it's pin sharp and well balanced on my D300! At a saving over the Nikon 17-55 of some £400. Are you lokking for a tool to take photo's or making a fashion statement?

That's good to know. The lens glass isn't damaged, nor outer case, it just wont focus or zoom! "It's in situations like this that I feel sorry for insurance companies." I consider it like a service repair plan, you pay insurance for yrs without a claim, then when something goes wrong you...

I dropped my camera (d300) with 18-200 zoom attached onto a marble floor on the first day of holiday in Italy. :bang: Now lens rather poorly. Looking to claim on insurance and they'll need a quote for repair. Purchased from Jessops (Blackpool). Where is best place to take it or do I need...

Yeah some of my Hi iso images are painfully loud! Could do with some of that noise reduction technology (or ear defenders).

Voted for option 5 however it was a difficult choice. Option 6 was a strong contender.

Look for an old Nikkormat ftn. Fantastic manual film camera with all adjusments easily to hand without having to remove camera from eye to look what your doing. They're bomb proof too. I started with a Zenith B but it chewed up film so bought a Nikkormat after looking at what the war...
