It's my birthday today and my partner is buying me a new outfit. So off we trotted to the nearest Calumet.
After wandering around in the store for several minutes wondering how every single tripod in a display could bear absolutely no resemblance to the descriptions printed on them, the crowd of noisy revellers sitting on couches at the far end of the store finally revealed themselves to be shop staff.
For all the wonderful displays and apparently well stocked shelves, it rapidly became apparent that the 40D would have to be ordered specially (and at great risk of exertion) as would the 70-200 f4 L lens - I did'nt even bother asking about the rest of the kit I wanted - so off to Jessops we went.
Ah, yes - they've got the 40D (a totally weatherproof one according to the embryo that pounced on me), they've got the lenses, the 580ex 2, the bag, in fact they've got everything I wanted except the tripod. Things are looking up - well they were until they suddenly realised that they couldn't price match after all, were not interested in negotiating a discount for multiple purchases but they would throw in a generic 512mb cf card to get me started. :bang:
An email will be winging it's way to Kerso later this evening and it looks like Morris's will get the other bits.
