So, John, how about asking for a "closed forum" which can only be accessed by "long term" members (say 50 posts or more) where items such as this could be listed. At least then, WE, will benefit and outsiders will not be tipped off. It could, but members would never even contemplate it, be used to agree that only one should bid!
I wouldn't ask for that as I'd be very concerned about excluding anyone and the creation of elite cliques within the forum. I think it would cause real problems to be honest.So, John, how about asking for a "closed forum" which can only be accessed by "long term" members (say 50 posts or more) where items such as this could be listed.

The Interfit (or similar) IR trigger fits on the camera hotshoe and will fire the studio flash with out the need for wires.

Well I could, but would that now be fair on everyone else? I've bid as well and I wouldn't remove the link so that I reduced the competition for myself....
These helpful notifications are a bit of a mixed blessing really, but in any event we can't expect to keep an eBay auction secret.
What's the consensus - is it a good idea for people to point out eBay bargains (and thus potentially destroy the bargain) or doesn't it matter because it's there for all to see anyway?

Hi Matt
What sort of studio work?
For portraits you'll only need the 17-70mm. Studio flash is ideal and Interfit offer the excellent EXD 200 kit at around £300.00 Add to that an infra-red trigger and you'll have everything you need apart from the backgrounds.
The 50mm f2.8 (why not a Pentax?) would be useful for small item photography, but the 100mm macro is generally better because of the increased working distance.

It can be useful for practical reasons - no point telling someone to visit SRS if they live in Australia, for example.

Styal Woods, Dunham Maseey, Tatton Park, Risley Moss, Rivington, Pennington Flash, Manchester, Bolton & Bury Canal, depends on what you like to photograph.
However, on the assumption that you are at or near Manchester Airport those should do for starters!
