Tracking is the only thing that I think they could do better. My last order had a DPD email about a day after order, but tracking of it never showed anything. About a week later I get a DHL message saying it’s out for delivery. About 2 days later ( after I already have it ) I get an email from...

I have just put a Fuji 18mm f2 up in sales.

I had the 100-400 and 40-150 out with me yesterday, quite a heavy bag for me. Arthritis noticing it in my shoulders after using the 100-400 for just over 30 minutes, maybe I need to do some shoulder weight exercises. At the end of the day, I was convinced I would return the 100-400 and get...

They are ok. Just not quite good enough for birds IMHO. Needed the funds for the 100-400 as well. But also really liking to 40-150 2.8 & mc14, they are great combination

I recently sold the Olympus 75-300 and bought a mk1 100-400, still on the fence a bit with it right now. I have a couple of weeks to return it and I am only about £150 short on getting a mk2. I am going to try and get some more testing in this week.

lol I was playing about with bursts on my OM1, didn’t realise one was as fast as 120fps. 2 seconds on the shutter release and the buffer took a little while to clear

Mine also had a DHL label on it. I wonder if it was DHL over from HK. Then changed over to DPD once it got here and that’s why DPD said they did not have it at the time I checked their tracking

Much as I am quite happy to use Cotswolds and I do wish they would sort the tracking out. Ordered last Tuesday, get message from DPD saying they are expecting the package within a couple of days, kept checking tracking and it’s says waiting for package. Next thing get a message saying it’s out...

Yeah just been through some straight 100-400 ones from this morning and think I will keep it for occasional I use. View: https://flic.kr/p/2sd1qG4

So the 100-400 has turned up and for me it’s a bit heavy. Then the 40-150 2.8 arrived from Cotswolds and have done a bit of testing. These are both with the mc-14 on and the 40-150 is also using the 2x function on the camera. Looking tempting to just keep the 40-150. View...

Sod it. SRS had a mk1 for £599 with 1 year warranty and 30 day return. So have gone for that for now

So I have a 40-150 2.8 and mc-14 on the way. Have been selling a few bits an pieces and currently have enough for a excellent/good condition 100-400 mk1 from MPB or WEX I am about £200 short for a 100-400 mk2. For what I see as occasional use for the 100-400, is there anything that I would...

XE-1 + 27mm SOOC with a slight crop Cat at our recent Airbnb View: https://flic.kr/p/2sc94uP

I did Scilly and a few other ports on a cruise last year. About 90% of the time I used the xe1 + 27mm. Only popping the 18mm on for a few shots

Has anyone found a decent leather half case for the OM1 ?
