Strange old world ain it?

You would be amazed just how cheap a Range Rover Sport can be in the UK if you actually go into a dealer and haggle

Pity camera retailers don't haggle too much. That said, I did get my MZS and 24-90 at NY prices from a dealer in Cornwall. He had one left on the shelf and the rest were Canon D10's I think. I convinced him that he would never sell it as people were into digital. He finally agreed and I saved a fortune against normal UK retail.

Gold and Diamonds usually work.

Oh and a bottle of Baileys or Sloe Gin!

I may need the gin after such a suggestion!

I buy Levi's in the USA and also out here in the Gulf as they are at USA prices. Typically 22 pounds for a pair of 501's etc.

Just for the record, a Range Rover Sport is close to 18 grand cheaper here than the UK, same car, LHD.

Not me Anvh. I try not to get too involved in that side of the discussions.

I will say here though that having both systems, they compliment each other. My Pentax kit does 90%+ of what I shoot. The FF does the other 10% or so.

Does that mean I can qualify as a Pentaxikon?

Depending on the age of the Lady in question, I find a catering size vat of industrial strength Oil of Ulay, is quite well received.

So it would be "Merry Xmas Darling", with a reply of "do you think I need this much Polyfiller?".

Would the wife also get half of my camera gear after the divorce?

Any ladies out there that have some ideas?

So if I remember correctly, there is a AF1.7x, 100mm Macro, 50-135, 70mm and viewfinder magnifier to play with.

I have yet to buy the wife a present! Any ideas? I don't arrive until Xmas Eve.

Gotta turn this situation round some how.

The two largest photographic equipment retailers in New York openly offer grey imports at reduced prices alongside the USA designated stock.

You make a choice and pay the price.

A slightly rotated ND grad would give even better effect.
