I would recommend Billingham as well.

this one surely will not be better, although it will be better in _quality for the price_ terms.
That's how I know you haven't tried it, because you told us.

Ah, but how do you know that if you haven't tried it?

SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm.

Inexpensive but excellent.

Yes, an explanation would be nice.

Is anything happening with this? I'm not so sure that people aren't more likely to be "swapping" by buying and selling on eBay....

Choose pentax lenses and you won't go far wrong. The Super Takumar and SMC Takumar versions are the best.

As for other makes, there's the Elicar 90mm macro, the Lydith 30mm, the Kiron 28mm, the Vivitar 50mm Macro and probably lots more. All worth a go.

I'll have to see how it gets delivered - it wouldn't surprise me if it comes from some European printer.

You can pay in a variety of currencies. I paid in Sterling.

Was interested in the Stokesay castle shot, an unusual angle?
The picture is actually of the gatehouse at Stokesey, and this view can be found by climbing the tower of the main building.

It's an interesting location and well worth a trip to see.

You download the software and it works in a very similar way to Pictures2Exe but instead of making a slide show you make a book. When it's ready you upload the book. Mine had a file size of about 38MB.

There are lots of templates and page options, but I am of a mind that simple is best and doesn't distract from the images.
