I just bought some of the chinese units. Four recievers and a radio trigger for £18. Through Ebay shipped from Jersey. no taxes were asked to be paid. Only work the flashes in manual mode. Though its not hard to get used to that.

The Sigma 150-500 in a Pentax version is not an exact match for the Nikon version. Therefor the Nikon version is more expensive. I think im right in saying the pentax version cannot use the sigma converter. The Nikon version has full frame capability.
Though I do agree that they should not give slanderous information as to a retailer selling grey imports without knowing the facts.

Delivery should be free. If you ordered it from SRS. As you are a forum member.

Hmmm I can see your predicament. I havnt used the 120-400 so cant offer an opinion there. But what I will add is that last year. I purchased the 150-500 and have been very pleased with the results I have gained with it. Though often, when I was trying nature shots it sometimes wasnt long enough. It can be a little soft at 500mm but great at 470mm, Its a big heavy lens on a days shoot. So the 400 will at least be lighter to carry. Or indeed used in hand held mode. When I got mine the 120-400 was more more expensive. So the choice was an easy one. Some other will also say a smaller lens and a converter is as good if not a better option. I think there is mileage this argument. I certainly dont regret my purchase.

Thanks for posting this. I also traded up to the K5ii eight days ago. I was also getting concerned. After checking my bank account, payment has been credited today. Saved me a telephone call.

Ah thats a familiar sight John.. Roger the flower man's stall. He owned/Worked that stall For many a year. Come rain or shine. Though being Manchester it would be mostly wind and rain. Always said hello and would chat to anyone given half the chance. For many years my wife bought flowers from him, when she worked in the city. To dress the Stores. Though I guess these days he would be retired, or has passed the business on. But for me it will always be Roger's...

I have also used A M Technical to repair my 55-300. Good efficient and cost wffective. Give alan a call and discuss your lens problem.
