Sorry to hear that, Shim.
I know the feeling, I also lost some money buying a camera on eBay 2-3 years ago, from HK. I paid with PayPal, but then it was one of my first eBay purchases, it was before X-mas (it was supposed to be a present) and the seller was very kind, assuring that the item should appear any day (well, he really sent it, I had a parcel number, but courier lost it). The time passed, it occurred that the item was under-insured and finally (after 2 months) I've got a refund... sort of - half of the money I paid, actually. And it was a bit late for using PayPal dispute or whatever they call it. The bright side of that was that the refund I received almost covered the cost of the next camera I bought then as their prices went down.

Fantastic shot, Amin.

The 3rd for me too The 'enhanced' sky gives some grim impression; while sun still shines onto rocks, there are dark stormy clouds gathering to cloak the castle. Nice

I like the other two too

Fun-tastic

Heh, I also have Zenit 12XP And true, 1/30s hand held was easy with that camera, moreover it's practically indestructible, survived snow, sand, hot weather, cold weather - no problems. And -20 C wasn't any problem

Probably one of the reasons I've decided for Pentax - a proper weight

It's beautiful - the fence looks sharp with nice 'old wood texture' and it nicely contrasts with the misty background. The colours are fantastic too

BA plane????

Amin, the shots are splendid And they are so sharp and colours so clear

Hello and welcome

Best wishes to Fiona too; it's time for better times now. And the pictures are great

The first one I love the colours - pumped up, as usually?
