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???

I think i have bought from them in teh past - not sure.

Regardless, its always best to remember that people are very read to express their discontent with a dealer but are much less inclined to expend energy praising a company. Many companies i rate highly have rakes of negative reviews but i will still continue to deal with them since i have never had anything but perfect service from them.

Ah! point taken but I try to be risk aware rather than completely risk averse...............b​ut the price was so very good and the negatives were strongly stated so I feared it might have been a case of 'if it is too good to be true.........' I think what is concerning is that a lot of the negativity in this case refers to the almost complete lack of responsiveness on the part of the supplier!!!

Oh well decision done and cannot cancel I know how Hoya seal their filters so fully expect to see what is !00% kosher when I get it.

Impatient or what still showing as at Cowdenbeath???

PS How goes the not so new job now and plans for the house move?

fair enough - fingers crossed that it comes to you in all its packaging

New job is going really will - lots to learn and its far more interesting that what i did before. I do miss the selling aspect a little bit though.

Move into the new house on 21st April - cant wait. This commute is making me very very tired!

Nice, good gig or didn't you hang about?

Morning folks,

Looks like a nice day here! Hope everyones well?

Nice photos Rob, the processing sets them off really well!

& nice gig shots too Ian!

Who is shooting what today?

Nothing today.. Have some shots to process from yesterday afternoon, had to shoot some music students with their instruments!

Party run for Amy today and a quiz this evening with fish & chips, yummy!!

Morning all. What are peeps up to today??

I love the War shots, Very moody. And im amazed at the quality and lighting on the Strangler shots.

After a rather pleasing result from yesterday, were going for a family day out to Hastings. Taking in the old town, and Alexandra Park. Ill let you know how we get on.

I

I am watching India playing SA

Question.. Do you guys sell images hi-res on DVD ever? If so what do you charge for them and does it depend on how many you supply? I currently charge £125 for a DVD of hi-res images no matter how many I supply, but am wondering if I should change this?

Also do you have an hourly charge if your shooting on location etc.. Just trying to figure out what to charge for yesterday, I was just doing it as a favour but they are insisting on me being payed for my time!

Hi there guys, hope everyone is doing well.

Anothe great "Band of Brothers" set there!

I just wanted to let you guys know my wife is in hospital. It's nothing life threatening, but she'll be in there for a while to come. So, naturally, I'll be spending as much time as I can with her.

So, if you see any of my status updates on Facebook that might not make sense, they probably will now!!
