Hi Sally,

I've bought loads from SRS and they have delivered to France no problem. They will also reduce the cost of the postage by the amount of the UK postage if you say you are a member of PUF, unless the item is a post free item from their Ebay website, in which case you don't get a reduction.

Nice Xmas pressie!

I had the same problem with Sigma, Mike. When I got the lens (10-20) back, it lasted less than 100 shots and the same fault came back. Of course, they had to send it back to Japan again. Having said that, I asked for a lens replacement given that the same fault had reappeared, and they obliged. No problems since.

What a load of crap!

Firstly, it's never wet in Manchester, and there's no way you could describe Wet Wet Wet as good!

Damn fine photos, though!

I sorted out the light pollution problem here by removing the bulb from the pointlessly installed streetlamp next to our house. And then five times more after it was repaired five times. They eventually got the message and I got a good collection of rather big lightbulbs.
Night skies here are as clear as you like so looking forward to seeing how the astrotracer performs before my return to the dreaded orange glow.
Then, maybe, you could leave it with me for safekeeping?

The upstairs window in the middle of the house has a piece of hardboard in place of a broken pane. I would appreciate advice on how to fix this by photoshop trickery. I intend to fix it in the conventional way but that won't be before the house is put up for sale.

Thanks.
That should make you a bit easier to find!

I will be visiting Wales very soon, spending Christmas at Llandogo. It's only 200metres from the English border but I might venture a bit further in every now and again.
Be careful, won't you?
