Now sorted, thanks

A long shot, but I need a 52mm ND filter for Friday evening. I can't find one online for next day delivery at a sensible cost. I work in Flint and live in Denbigh so if anyone local can help me out it would be appreciated.

If anyone is interested I spoke to a chap from Fuji at the Cambrian Photography show in Colwyn Bay at the weekend and he thinks the lens will be released around the end of July, priced at around £800.

I emailed Fuji today and they are hoping to release the lens in July. They didn't Answer my pricing question - not that I blame them. I've ordered an 18-55 in the mean time.

About 180 I reckon

I could do with a wide to medium tele lens for my XT-1 as I only have a 35mm prime. I had planned to buy the 18-135 but it seems to be delayed and I've heard nasty rumours about the price (does anyone have this info ?). I'd prefer the extra length, probable iq and aperture advantages as well as...

Some very helpful replies, thanks. I'm thinking of starting out with B&W to learn how to use the camera so I can process my own films then scan the negs. If I buy S/H I shouldn't lose much money.

I have a D300 with various lenses, but I'm considering moving to 5 x 4 or even 5 x 7 (film) for landscapes. I'd be interested in the experiences of anyone who has taken this route. I'd keep the Nikon for "everything else". If there's anyone in North Wales who would show me the ropes on LF...

I could see one being useful on a day like yesterday - out in the wilds of Snowdonia. Frequent heavy showers, changing light, camera packed away (dry) in my bag, with the storm cover over the bag. Wet hands, wet clothes, not sure if the composition will work (and if it does, what is the best...

Did I say I wanted one ? I thought I'd asked what they were called ?

Thanks - that's it.

Yesterday I was with someone who had a handheld eyepiece that could be adjusted to different focal lengths to judge the composition. Can anyone tell me what these are called ? I've searched Ebay & WEX but can't find them.

I'm doing a landscape course with Steve Lewis over the next few months. The course is in North Wales, and we will probably be out in the rain a fair bit - how well sealed is my D300 likely to be ? What about lenses (particularly my Tokina 11-16) ?

Well still no sign of mine, so I guess I'm the unlucky one this year :-(
