Begbies Traynor are the administrators - as a Wrexham supporter I hold them in higher regard as they kept the club alive during the dark days of 2004-2006.

Let's hope for a good outcome.

Just looked at them, really want one for the K1 and D810, both have grips and I don't believe the L grips will be able to deal with gripped cameras...

then there is the small matter of the Arca swiss - apart from my Benro Gimbal all my other heads are standard Manfrotto stuff.

Probably won't be £4-5 a roll like it used to be.... Long gone are the days I used to be able to buy 3xVelvia or Provia with processing vouchers from Fuji for £19.99. Last saw Provia 100F for sale at €15 a roll at the weekend.....

Looking forward to giving it a try though

If your like me at the end of the day I love the idea of a new lens. I just struggle with modern day pricing....
Good point! Sometimes new versions of lenses (e.g. the new Nikkor 24-70 2.8VR vs the old version) are usually 50% more expensive and sometimes the 50% is worth the 5-10% improvement in image quality if that's what matters....But using the Nikkor example the availability and superiority of the new version means used mint examples of the old version suddenly become more affordable.

If I was a regular user of a 50mm lens then I would look at the new D-FA* seriously. But when I look at my F50 1.7 FA50 1.4 and AF-S 50 1.4G Nikkor lenses and my lovely Sekor 80mm 2.8 lenses being used infrequently then the D-FA* is a luxury, I have other optical priorities.
