I asked them to do that once "Sorry, it'd damage our profits" That was the last time I ever entered one of their shops. Well I've had them do it before without much hassle and I keep seeing ads saying they will. I'm also asking for vouchers for Xmas so I can go in there and get that nice shiny lens I want! (and not for the price they advertise it either!) No matter how much you learn, there's always someone who knows more.

I was going to mention that too. Jessops price matched for me, with Warehouse Express prices. I also feel reassured knowing there's a "real" store locally I can deal with.

I have heard that Kerso does a good deal, but he is an ebay seller rather than a big business. You can deal direct with Ian. Send him a PM here on POTN (You'll get even better prices that way).

If you deal with him direct the prices are less than those he quotes on ebay. TOP BIRD SHOTS

Had a problem when I got the 70-200 as the zoom ring was way too tight. No questions asked Ian took the lens back and shipped out a new one!!! You would be lucky to get service like that anywhere else. All My Gear

The 70-200mm F4 is £375, the IS version I have stock at £680. As you know all my lenses have Canon 1 year International warranty as well as Kerso 1 year warranty. Also my stock is all sent from Scotland so no worry of tax which I pay when I receive goods. Ian.

He met a few of the POTNers in Scotland last week when he was on holiday back home. I was away on business so missed him but he did take me for dinner last year ![]() That's the kind of guy he is.
