Fantastic prices on some fantastic pieces of equipment. Look on the bright side , buy now save money and you have the whole of next year to reflect on your fiscal profligacy till the next winter sale season .

Take a look at http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk you can track the pricing history of items graphically.

Some great pictures of what looks like a fascinating event. Looking at the events web site I came across this .

Whilst being quite a long article it's thought provoking and raises some interesting points generally about how any of may or may not conduct ourselves at "events" etc .

Being put off by the price of the Ricoh / Pentax item found this - £29.99 + p&p . Arrived today and on first impressions seems excellent ( metal construction , coated lens etc ) . Will obviously require experimentation but at this price it seems worth trying.

Maplin are listing this as " End of range"

Having bought one this is NOT a Peli / Vanguard case but at @ 1/5 of the price is amazing value . If you are looking for a storage / transport hard case solution well worth consideration.
