Thanks @boogie man I ended up buying a SanDisk Extreme Pro and a Lexar Silver, both are 128gb and seem to be coping ok with just taking images.

Well...I have to say I'm very impressed with Panamoz and UPS. UPS picked up the package in Hong Kong at 1pm UK time on Wednesday and delivered it today at 1.30pm. That is some going as it travelled via HK, India, Germany and landed at Stansted this morning.

No...my Panamoz order is still in transit and has apparently left HK and has now departed India. UPS tracking is now estimating delivery for tomorrow which just isn't going to happen, so not sure why it's giving unrealistic delivery times. Hopefully it will be here by Monday.

My Camerasdori/Cotswold delivery arrived this morning, so 14 days from placing the order to delivery...I saved £100 on the Panamoz price so worth the extra wait I guess. If Panamoz can deliver my R5mk2 in 6 days I'll be very pleased.

I ordered my R5mk2 from Panamoz on Monday afternoon and received a tracking number yesterday. And today I received an update saying UPS had picked up the package in Hong Kong and they have given me an estimated delivery for Thursday between 9.15 and 13.15! I'm struggling to believe that UPS...

I ordered a battery grip and a spare battery for the R5mk2 from Camerasdori 11 days ago and I still haven't had an update or a tracking number. Looks like there's quite a difference in the quality of service between Camerasdori/Cotswold and Panamoz.

You're not kidding about Panamoz...I placed an order yesterday afternoon and I've already got a tracking number. I really was banking on the delivery taking at least a week so I'm off work.

It does seem to be the case @Brentor I bought some items from Camerasdori and my bank statement clearly showed the items came from Camerasdori. But...I payed with PayPal and that statement showed the seller as Cotswold Cameras.

Which information are you referring to @Brentor

I've ordered the R5mk2 with the Control Ring Adapter from Panamoz this afternoon, so hopefully delivery won't take too long. Tomorrow I'll be ordering a new PC for photo processing so I can edit the files...somehow I don't think Lightroom 4 and PSE 10 will be up to the job :oops: :$

Thanks for the information @cuthbert Unfortunately a f2.8 is out of my price range plus I'll be more than happy with f4.

Thanks @isobarik I must admit to being totally sold on it...but thought I'd better ask for alternatives if there are any others that can come close.

Looking for a landscape lens for my R5mk2 and my heart is set on the RF 14-35 f4 L IS. So...are there other alternatives in the same sort of price range that offers the same quality?...also I don't need a f2.8 which would be well out of my price range anyway. If you can offer any insights that...

As for the number of shots, probably not that many as I'll mainly be doing Macro and Landscape...though if the occasion presents itself it would still be nice to have the option of capturing multiple frames at speed. I'll probably just end up getting a couple of SanDisk Pro 128gb CFexpress that...

Too far away for me unfortunately.
