Whichever one is on the camera when I'm walking around

Ordered it yesterday from Park Cameras. SRS and WEX didn't have the lens in stock.

The local council run 'Community Education' sometimes run such courses.

The one in Newport does 'Photoshop' at 3 differing levels. I did the level one ( in 12 parts, one night a week ) which was very basic but the level 2 suffered from lack of support for the evening classes although the daytime one (which I can't make) is quite well supported.

Ask at your local council and colleges. I'm sure you'll find one around.

Just noticed this morning that SRS are the lowest. I hope they don't go back up in the next two weeks

Thanks very much guys.

Roll on the 28th. If prices stay as they are it look's like Park Cameras

Have you checked out Pixmania (www.pixmania.com) for prices??
Thanks. Just have. Not much there and certainly not the lowest on what they have.

At the end of this month I'm in the market for the SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL. I have bought equipment over the counter at Clifton Cameras and by post from SRS, both faultless, but neither are the cheapest for this lens.

SRS were until around a week or so ago but have just increased it by around £25.00.

The three with the lowest price at present are: Park Cameras, ABC Digital and WEX (but with them it's a back order)

Has anyone had any experience of ordering online or by post with any of the these?

Thanks Woodworm

Sod's law. I've got every cable and connection except that one.

I think v2 is relating to the firmware version not the flash version.
I know. Perhaps I should have said -'My flash has version 1 and the latest update is v2'

I have two questions on a Metz 50 AF-1 I bought from SRS within the last fortnight

1. Is a USB cable usually supplied? It seems petty not to include one for a unit that costs £165 and there is a recess in the side of the polystyrene that serves no purpose whatsoever that would be around the size needed. There is also nothing in the handbook that specifies what type of cable. I phoned SRS and the person that answered had to check with someone else before telling me they aren't included.

2. How do I actually go about updating the firmware? The Metz website isn't very instructive as far as I can make out. My flash is version 1 and the latest update is v2
