Well after being robbed of 7K worth of kit in Germany last month, I need to replace my 300mm F2.8 and one of my 1D MKIV's
Having read a few threads on the web I decided to contact HDEW Cameras. I was initially very cautious and asked Shaun many questions by email. So after 5 or 6 emails and a phone call directly I have decided to spend £5,000 with them on the new generation 300mm F2.8 from Canon.
Why am I telling you all this? Well if like me you are hesitant I thought this thread might assist you. I intend to keep you all posted as my order progresses on how things are going. I figured not many people will be making a 5k purchase as a first go so this might give some prospective buyers my experience as it progresses so that they can hopefully feel some comfort in doing so.
At this moment in time my order is being processed and I had been advised I will have my lens by the end of next week. I will keep you all posted as it progresses.
Am I nervous? you bet I am.
I welcome any thoughts or experiences in this thread.
p.s. I hope I haven't broken any of the many rules on here by posting this thread. I am forever upsetting the mods on here by trying to be involved :shrug:
