Call him tomorrow morning on the number on the site. Stu or his wife Germaine (i think that it) will be able to help you. Its via Australian Air Express, so unless your living in a hole you will get it the next day. Michael

nichbri Hatchling 1 post Joined Nov 2007 More info | Nov 15, 2007 04:44 | #24 I bought this kit about 5/6months ago, I think the the 18-55mm is rubbish, but unlike others, I like the 75-300mm. It's not the sort of lens you would carry around with you, but I use it for shooting bird photos in my back yard. This is at 300mm (slightly sharpened in CS2 - only slightly).
Teds prices are inflated, IMO. try camera house or the good guys, or buy online if you want to take the risk. Having been using this camera for a few months now though, I would have been better off buying the body, a 50mm 1.8 and a 28-135mm IS USM. Good Luck! Hope this helps

You have a better copy than mine. Conversely, I have (in my mind) an excellent copy of the 18–55. 5D, 400D
