Recently sold all my Canon gear and have bought a Sony A6400, Sony 70-350 and Sony 10-18. Will probably add a Sony 35mm f1.8 at some point as well. It all weighs less than just the bag that used to hold all my Canon gear. Happy days. With the change from my Canon gear I also managed to...

It was a 9- That was borderline imo but it may have suffered more damage in transit due to the poor packaging. If it was the same lens which it probably was then it was still rated at a 9-. I doubt anyone looking for a 2nd hand Sony 10-18 would have bought that particular copy after reading...

Interesting... I have an alert set up on Camera price buster UK for 2nd hand copies of the Sony 10-18. I received an email from WEX yesterday morning confirming receipt of my lens and that a refund was being issued. I also received an email from Camera price buster that new 2nd hand copies of...

I seems like I have just been unlucky. Very annoying nonetheless. Yes they did offer collection, but it was more convenient for me to take it to the Post Office rather than wait around all day for a courier to show up. I have also had a bad experience selling equipment to another well known...

I did email WEX yesterday, but had received no response so called them this morning and explained the situation to them. They were very apologetic and totally agreed it was unacceptable and that it should never have happened. They were also going to look into how it happened. They agreed that...

Sounds like I have been unlucky then.

I purchased a second hand Sony 10-18mm F4 lens from WEX last week which arrived today. It's the first time I have bought something second hand from WEX. The external packaging was good, but there was no packaging (bar a thin plastic bag) around the lens itself which was inside it's own OEM box...

I spent 7 weeks in India in 2011/2012 and took my 5D Mkii, 17-40L, 100-400L and 50mm F1.8. I managed ok. I was more worried about security than anything else and there were a couple of occasions I think we might have been followed, but luckily no issues. These days I take my Canon M6 and...

Something a bit different. Taken on my recent trip to Indonesia with my Canon M6 & 22mm in a Seafrogs underwater housing. fish-12 by Simon Turner, on Flickr fish-13 by Simon Turner, on Flickr Indonesia Underwater by Simon Turner, on Flickr

I think it’s a Rode mic and 32Gb memory card.

I recently purchased a Billingham Hadley Small for my Canon M6, 3 lens, the optional viewfinder, plus other bits and pieces like filters, spare battery. There is still room for more stuff if you wanted to carry it. It’s like a Tardis. When it first arrived I thought oh it’s too small, but I was...

They cleaned the sensor on my 5D MKII for me a few years back. When I checked it by taking some new photos there was still dust on the sensor. They begrudgingly cleaned it again for free. It was fine second time around.

Depending on colours, there are some good deals via http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/Billingham You get 6% Topcashback from WEX as well.

Yes, I have an M6, MK1 viewfinder and all 3 lens you have mentioned. The viewfinder works well and tilts 90 degrees which is handy and obviously it is removable when you don’t want to use it. This is the kit I will be taking with me to Cuba next month.

I had a similar problem with my original 'M' using the EFS 55-250. If I remember correctly i stopped it by switching off continuous autofocus on the camera from the main menu system.
