alright then, yes the 100-400 IS. All I need now is the 7D and if memory serves me right with 2 "L" lens I could ask for CPS membership

FWIW Kerso has the 7D for £999 and says that with his UK invoice Elstree will honour the warranty.....just wonder if anyone has bought a body from him and needed Canon to work on it???

Big congrats Laurence, I know you've been after that lens for a while!

I've not bought a body from Kerso, but I've heard nothing but excellent feedback I'm sure he's true to his word!

Anyone near Hammersmith, just been given a photo pass and a ticket to the stranglers and I don't need the ticket. On stage 2125 its free. I cannot stay for the full gig

I would not doubt, but the likes of HDEW also sell Grey imports and I surmise sell with a UK invoice but their bodies are either sent back to HK or serviced locally under a 3rd party warranty contract????

As for the lens, yes been a long time waiting just need to get my mitts on it and take some pictures Likely the garden birds in the first instance ~ the Siskin would be nice to capture?

Crumbs, I do hope "they" made it really worth your while stay and take the stress of these sort of trips on business!!!

I won't starve

Congrats on the new purchase - you'll love the flexibility of that lens.

Absolutely, I have hired it a few times for both airshows & wildlife but having spent someting like >£200 of those hirings (granted over a 3 year period) I decided I needed to buy but when was the question..........time was now

Just hope I get a sharp copy

Laurence congratulations it is a great lens

Just looking forward to the Wovles on the 2nd April

7D is a big improvement and to have two bodies for the wolves would be perfect:p:p

Where are you seeing the wolves Laurence?

I did, but then I'm really really really fussy regarding welfare and motives etc. I'm sure 99% of the folk on the trip I went on thought it was fabulous.

Quick question???

I also ordered earlier this evening a Hoya Pro1 Digital MC Protector filter ~ have the same on my other L, used Amazon marktplace merchant Camera King. Now unlike me I then decided to punt around for reviews of this supplier and to say the least they do not seem to be very complimentary Their rating on Amazon is damn near 100%

So has anyone here used them and in your opinion were they OK to deal with???
