They tend to go for about 60-80 ukp with a ball head. Some got for over £100 but they will be the more modern ones.

Currently a nice lady in Devon will sell me one for 60 quid but I have to collect which I can do when I visit my Mum.

60-80quid I thought they would be more than that. So 100quid for the one I am looking at is a tad over priced you would say :

You don't see to many come up on e-bay, in fact I have never seen one. I just stumbled onto this one in my local classifieds.

So what do they go for over there:

If this one turns out that I don't fall in love with it and as the reviews say, using it is like trying to get a baby giraffe to stand up for the first time, I will keep you in mind

Nice shot Don, it is an unusual colour, Do you think they have the ability to change colour to match thier surroundings. Like a chameleon

Thanks Paul, The guy wants 100quid for it and it comes with a Manfrotto 484 ball head, which sounds a little small to me, but I will hold that judgement until I can see it tomorrow.

And if you want to try and beat me to it I suggest you start out now, Its in Sydney Thanks mate

Has anyone got or used one of these tripods and what are your views on it. Thier is a cheap one going locally and from what I have read its a good system for macro.

I have read that they are a little tricky to get used to and a bit like wrestling with a set of demented Bagpipes Any opinions :

When using manual focus lenses ensure your dioptre is accurately set. I found that the hard way.

Matt, I have recently installed a CIS system on my Epsom R390, Have only been using it for about 8 weeks and I also had concerns with the ink quality and reliability of these systems.
After a lot of research I went with this system They have some very good feedback. The print quality is excellent and I can find no discernable difference from the genuine Epson inks and the CIS inks.

I also printed out a couple of pics with the genuine inks and the CIS inks and have them propped up in my living room and i'm keeping an eye on them to see if one fades quicker than the other. I may take 12 months or more before I see any difference, just have to wait and see.

The link I provided above is for the Canon 620 & 630 printer but I believe they take the same cartridge as the ip4600

In summary I am very happy with it so far and have given it quite a workout over the past few weeks but would like to give a bit more time before I give it an official thumbs up.
