Lens arrived this morning. Well packaged and exactly as described. Martin handled the sale very efficiently.
I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again.

I'm glad I'm not as good as you at producing great images, my walls would have been overcrowded with photos and I'm not sure how well that would have gone down with the wife...

The blue tit photo is my favourite. Surely it would sell really well as wallpaper?!?

No 5 is surely printed big and hanging on your wall. And probably in other peoples houses too unless you have rejected many offers. Great photo.

Please excuse the lateness of this update.

I was offered this camera when the second buyer withdrew. Trampas was a pleasure to deal with and the camera arrived safely as described. Recommended seller.

I'm very happy with my Velbon Ultra Rexi L. Just about within your budget, 36cm collapsed, tall enough for me (6ft) with ball head and camera, sturdy, 1,3kg, split centre culumn. Only negative would be lack of hook on centre column but it would be very easy to drill a hole through the little cap and get a hook and a matching nut from a hardware store. Worth a look. Not a single 1 or 2 star review on Amazon, just one 3 star and rest (36) are 4 and 5 stars. That's quite rare!

It's a bit like it's been taken out of a Halloween episode of the Teletubbies.

Regardless of camera used I really like the composition of these photos. Number 3, 6, 7, 8 and 10 are my favourites.

The adverts on the right side of the page is covering up some of the text in the "Your Photos forum" which isn't ideal. Not sure if it's just on this particular desktop computer though.

Thanks for your help. I was going to go this weekend but weather got in the way. Not sure when I'll be able to go but either way won't be posting on here unless photos are really good.

I'm planning a trip to Ambleside and I want to return with a really good landscape photo, ideally a stunning one for framing. The problem is that I haven't got a lot of time so I can't trek for ages and hope to stumble upon a great location. Does anyone know of a great place where I cannot go wrong (subject to weather conditions)? It needs to be within half an hour of Ambleside or further south. I'd be more than happy with a cliché like a pier on a lake or something similar but anything goes. I've got a tripod, Sigma 10-20 and CPL/ND grad filters so I should be okay for equipment, just lacking in talent. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
