I see you are correct, adding 5.5% to the transaction at checkout does seem a little unscrupulous. Given the addition of the surcharge there prices don't really compete after al against other online companies for example WEX or Clifton. I guess its upto to each buyer to make there own choice.

I like that you are trying to buck the trend of shooting and post processing to suit you rather than suit everyone which is all too easy. After all if you don't enjoy this hobby or do it for pleasure it soon becomes a chore rather than fun which is when most people put the expensive gear away...

Thanks Peter I hope to return to loch ard again in the next few weeks and take an image from the same spot and see how the foliage has changed. I like this time of year, colours are splendid as are the times we need to get up to catch the golden hour! Compared to summer at least. Hopefully snow...

Thanks for all your comments. I have attempted to adjust the boathouse image (3rd image) as suggested to hopefully lift the image a little. Hopefully this is what you meant. I did not want to push it too far as the result may seem a little out of place. The original is below the processed image.

I couldnt pass up the opertunity to go to Loch Ard this morning however the light was not favourable, very dull skies. Would like to know what you do on occassions like this? I still took some images and made the most of the conditions. Let me know what you think...

How does the tamron image quality compare with the 15-85?

Discounting the fact that the 17-55 is f2.8 rather than f4 and the relative sharpness of each lens does the 24-105 f4 produce punchier colours/contrast over the 17-55? This is my aim, to buy a single lens for long term use and general images of my kids playing. The sigma 10-20 is great however...

Thankyou Arad, I do like the sound of the 15-85. We're the images both sharp and had good colour sharpness and contrast?

While I appreciate that a lens does not make a photographer good or bad, technique does, my question was not "Please tell me why my images are dull and lucklastre". I plan to buy a new lens in the coming weeks, I appreciate the look of the sigma 10-20 straight out of the camera however i do not...

I already have a 10-20mm and a 18-55 is stm but I am not too impressed with the 18-55. It's fast and sharp but lacks punch and contrast. If a 24-105 or 24-70 offer better colour and contrast it would mean less time on the computer making my images more punchy.

i am aware of the physical benefits of a quality lens such as watertight seals and longevity however are there any optical benefits of an l lens versus non l ef-s on crop sensors I.e. A 70d. I plan to buy a new standard lens in a few weeks but wondered if there is any point waiting to save more...

Hi all, I recently took a trip to the cliffs while staying at the haven park nearby. My wife and kids don't really care for birdwatching or outdoor pursuits in any form so my time at the cliffs was short however this was my favourite image from the day.

I think Allagain have stated all they can here now. They have been as honest as possible and stated how they operate. It's upto the buyer to choose if the products lower price is worth the cons of buying without the right to a full refund if they open the package and change there mind.

I take it these images were taken from Calton hill? You have caught some really nice images there from a great location. I was there last night trying to get similar images to yours but the weather was shocking, I was hoping to use the mist to great effect but it was just to miserable a night...

I know there are a lot of reviews out there for both lenses but I am interested in whether if price were equal is the 10-22 usm a better option than the usm. Forget the IS and filter size/weight as well, this is purely about image quality and lens reliability.
