I didn't realise that, how annoying.

I need to put some stuff on the Bay

I'm sure you guys really want my Lowepro Adventure trekker bag! What with all the new kit you are buying.

And the 120-300 f/2.8 is gonna go as well.

How much is the bag?

200 is a very nice piece of glass also but the 135 & tc is more versatile

I think my mind is made up, 135L it is, i'm tempted by the one from HK although last time I bought a lens from there I got clobbered by tax three weeks later so it would have been better to get it from the UK, I see that theres a guy in scotland who has them for £735 on ebay, is that a good price? seems to be and no tax to pay.
Or am I being silly and I should be upgrading my body to say a 7D before I go new glass, I just cant decide......

switched off my router for 2 hours, but still no joy. Thanks for the help though Jon. I may wait 48 hours, see if it clears itself up - as you say it may be something at the exchange?

You did unplug the cable from the wall? Sounds sill but if the cable is in the socket the line stays up (so I am told).

that guy is Scotland is probably kerso!

give him a shout on the tp forum and get his latest prices

Harking back to this morning's wedding forum poster, I found this interesting comment that he made elsewhere that made me think even less of him! He really is digging a hole for himself!

Yes it is, is he ok to deal with?

Kerso (aka Ian) is very reliable and very much used by a lot of people. A high number of us here have bought gear from him - the latest being Matt (courier) who got his delivered yesterday.

Here was my post from November

I've decided to sell this bag, as it no longer gets used since I got the EF 400L and Roller bag from Think Tank.

I paid £179 last year for it, and I think there going for about £139 new now.

It's only had light use.

This bag is immaculate, all ties and toggles are fine.

I will take pictures loaded up with different gear if you want to see how things fit.

It is perfect size for carrying on aircaraft as hand luggage, and comfortably carried my 1D's and Sigma 120-300 + other kit.

I'm asking £100 + delivery (£95 to the first person to offer to take it off my hands at Donna Nook)

Here's some details from Lowpro;

+100
Ian is my first contact for any new purchase. Very reliable and honest (won't sell you something he doesn't have in stock!).

If that is Kerso he does make a special price for us POTNers and the TP guys n gals. The last price I saw for the 135L f2.0 was £725 but ask him for the most current one as the £ vs $ rate has gone potty again

I have heard nothing but praise for him, courier just picked up a 70 -200 2.IS and 10-22 with no problems.

Axalp looks so b****y awesome especially as they do live firing (is it actually a firing range???) like you I would love to go at least once ~ just how much would it cost to get there, hotel et al?
