I stopped using my Jessops branch , for several reasons ,one, they never had any stock other than the latest Canon-Nikon lower end kit and maybe a few “point and shoot” cameras.
But the main reason is the lack of a brain or knowledge with the staff.
The only person there who had any idea about photography was the young girl who did the film processing.
I don’t know why Pentax and Jessops fell out, but would you, if you were in business, give a firm like Jessops 60 days credit, I know I would not, far too risky in my opinion.
I know I deal with SRS now and they and others like them give me the service and help I want.
They will be the survivors (SRS and the like) not the companies like Jessops.

I hope to be stroking mine tomorrow, fitted to my K20.
I don't think I will be dissapointed, the reviews are all very good, even at the full price.

Sorry Oggy,
That 50-135 was calling out my name
I have been looking at them, then at the price and thinking one day
I can't wait to try it.

Thanks Doug,
Looking forward to using the 50-135*sdm lens, I just could not resist it
I just had to phone the order.

Hi, my input would not be the R800 I had one, it was a nightmare even on genuine inks,that bad i binned it, i now use the R1400 A3 also a photo 285 A4 6 inks at reasonable price, it does my general printing and does very good photos,also i have never had to clean the heads on either, the newer Epsons seem to have overcome the old problem they suffered.

Any one got a few Euro's to spare for a poor Brit

I have sold to all over the world, when i had collectors cameras even South America with no problems at all, apart from one attempted scammer.
Some postal systems in Europe are slow but they get there in the end.
Just give a good service and don't "over state" an item and every one is happy, when buying just look at the sellers feed back, that will tell you everything, if it looks wrong it is wrong.

Sigma kit is going up in Feb, in the UK that is.
I don't know about the rest of the world.

To True, I will be selling some of my surplus kit and I just hope some one wants it for what it is worth,and if they want to pay over the odds for it, More to the fabled K30 fund or something very much like it.
Also in the Euro zone it pays for some one to buy from the UK, what with the Euro almost the same as the £, so more bidders will be from over the channel.

I still have "Film" kit and have not long ago got rid of my "dark room" and contents, but being a disabled photographer carrying extra gear around is not possible, a K20, Tamron 70-200mm and other lighter lenses + monopod and all the ancillary stuff.
I will leave the heavier extras to you younger fit ones.
I am still learning the capabilities of the K20 (I have had it for about 8 months.
