Bought May 2014.

Box opened to check contents and lens checked once on camera.

Bought for my daughter to take with her on safari in South Africa. She decided to take my Canon bridge camera + Kodak waterproof video camera instead.

At the week-end they were showing the body+flu-card+lens as the £849 deal, which they confirmed when I phoned them.

Now the 'same' deal is £895 for just the body+flu-card.

It was Saturday I phoned, so maybe it was the 'Saturday boy' I dealt with?

Although he talks about Canikon, I can't see why this won't work on Pentax?

Anyway, over to YouTube> link

Chichester (town) and Bosham harbour are worth a look.

Roman villa at Fishbourne.

Submarine museum at Gosport.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (HMS Victory, Mary Rose, etc)

West Wittering is very scenic, with views across the Solent - NT.

Arundel is also in the western end of the South Downs National Park and beginning/end of the South Downs Way.

Some nice pictures there.

But please, please, change "Photo's" to "Photos".

The plural of photo is photos.

Just an "s" required. Using an apostrophe to just make a plural is always wrong, and although you often see it written wrongly like that, for presentation purposes, it's really not on.
in this case the apostrophe is representing "graph" which is missing...or am I being grammar gestapo
apology for being off topic
Or it's possessive?

On topic, however, I also like your site Aura.

You could say that since both are made by Manfrotto they will be of equal quality, so it really comes down to what you need.

Quite a number of people here on the Forum use Redsnapper. Could be worth a look?

Too true

Events today conspired me to purchase a replacement for my D-FA 100

Is the new WR better built that the original as it snapped too easily today. Replacement depends on what JPSS or G&H say...
Much better; more like a Limited.

I've used them, can't recall for what, but do know I had no issues.
