Yes
I've finally got around to putting some images together for Alamy but because of the 48mb file requirement I've restricted them to ones taken with the 5D. The problem I have is that I have some pictures which have done well in competitions but they were taken as jpegs on a 300D hence the original files are only around the 2-3mb mark. I can't see me getting these upto 48mb without quality issues so I was wondering what other agencies/libraries there may be that don't have the large file size requirement where I could submit these to. I don't want to go down the microstock route on principal so that rules out IStock and all it's clones. Anyone care to suggest any other libraries (pref. British) out there ?

Cheers

i submit to 7 agencies both rf and managed aswell as the micro stock sites and my biggest seller is the one of the parrots on my front page www.photo-request.co.uk taken with a 300 on fine jpg mode some years ago
 
ive submitted to alamy using my old 300D and the kit lens, no quality issues at all.

and remember they dont want 48mb Jpegs, they would be ridiculously large, they want 48mb Tiffs converted to Jpeg using level 10 or higgher compression.

Ah yes - that makes a difference. Might be able to get away with mine after all.

Care to share which libraries ?

I've also just been using the search facility at BAPLA http://www.bapla.org/search/ and this may turn up what I need as it allows you to search by quite specific criteria.

Thanks for the help so far.
