Hi Andy

Yeah definitely, I won't have a camera for the next month or so anyway as i'm selling the Olympus to help fund a D5100, feel free to drop me a message whenever you're free though. I usually head out with my mate Matt who i'm sure will definitely be up for a meet as well, more the merrier (even if he is a Canon user :LOL:). Hope everything goes okay with your wife, might even see you about as I'm a student nurse at the hospital.
