Yes i did see they had links to grey imports, i think i will keep trawling for a good second hand lens.
if you did want to buy grey market at a cheaper price try; https://www.e-infin.com/uk/

I have used multiple times and they've been perfect but use at your own risk.

Re: Cotswolds Cameras

I believe there grey market. They have a warehouse in Cheltenham I believe, but I've never used them.

Is Friday still an arrivals day or have they expanded it?
It's officially a display day with the occasional late arrival, but tomorrow it's going to become a waterpark.

Friday 2019 ended up with most of the displays cancelled because the weather was bad. Lets hope its not a repeat.

Parking last year for east on the Thursday was on base and on the concrete hard standing, I'm going Thursday this year and planning on east so far if they are coming in this way 🤞
Where abouts is the entrance for the p&v east this year? Also what's the likelihood of picking up tickets on the day?

Re: Micro Four Thirds opinions sought

Hi there, I used micro four thirds for a number of airshows and other aviation bits and found it great option, I very nearly decided to make the g9 and the 100-400mm my main set up. A few things which I'm sure you will have considered, with micro four thirds the crop factor is 2x equivalent to full ...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

Has anyone on here ever parked up a few miles away and cycled to Fairford to get photos of the displays from outside the base ? I am definitely going to the airshow itself on at least one day but this is something I am contemplating if it is doable. TIA. I've done this for a while, you don't get ca...

Re: Aftermarket batteries- Cannon

I've used aftermarket batteries for Fujifilm and Nikon, Duracell are quite good batteries also so are baxxtar ones are very good. Both those brands I've just mentioned have exactly the same build quality and battery time as the original batteries. I've found that if you buy the non branded ones or t...

Re: Memory Card Purchase

Have used mymemory.co.uk quite a lot in the past usually good prices, currently searching for new SD cards as well. Wexphotovideo seem to have some of the cheapest SanDisk SD card. Amazon seem to be a little overpriced at the moment.

To be honest anything above the go pro above the go pro five would be good, I have never really liked the idea of using them to be honest. doesn't really answer your question but if you have a good smartphone you could mount that to the top of your camera, I've done that myself in the past and has w...

Re: Monitor Size 27" vs 32"

I have just recently upgraded my monitor to a bigger one, It has helped massively. But it depends on your opinion, some people don't like the idea of bigger being better. As for 4k, I don't think it's massively important if you don't do video, itll probably make things a little sharper. It is nice t...

Re: The Ukraine Situation

Military analysts on BBC News 24 saying that it’s pretty much a given that US and UK special ops have been in country for a while now. They don’t get included when politicians talk about NATO ‘boots on the ground’. One said that it’s a matter of time before Stingers start showing up, and the other ...
