The currency hasn't moved much since June 2010 BBC and according to Smeggy's replacement the cameras now being supplied were made in Jan. 2011.... So this is nothing other than a Rip-Off!.....

Simple solution Don't Buy!

Purely greedy dealers showing off their Ripoff Skills

Edit: I'm referring to the US and Canadian Dealers

Not SRS who have actually reduced some prices.

Cullmann Magics fold flat and are quite rigid. I use one to hold a large flashgun and brolly.

Far too flimsy You would be better off with something like this Polaroid which looks identical to a Pentax badged one I saw recently on some site.

Minolta also did one similar with a stronger B&S head. Leica also do one, but the heads are separate and expensive.

I've got the Polaroid and Minolta and have used them with a K20D and 55-300mm + 1.7x converter.

I think there's a serial db on the US forum of cameras that have had stains.

I'm not knocking the camera Gary, merely pointing out that it hasn't been without a few teething troubles If it had a Canon mount I'd buy it
