Arrived. And I'm very pleased with it too. The 294A3 with the 3 way head for less than £100. Great for the price.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Talk Photography Forums mobile app
 
Black Fuji x-e1 and 18-55, black Gordy strap, black mini soft release, black thumb grip and an ishoot grip.
Didn't fancy the silver one :)
 
This week I bought a new garden for my bird photographs! It comes complete with a rather expensive house unfortunately but plenty of choices for locating feeders including a ready made hide (aka a large shed).

Has anyone else bought a lens BEFORE they bought the camera body? I bought a Canon 100mm f2.8L IS Macro today as well.
