Re: Nikon D5600 Bundle

Hi all,

brilliant thank you.

as u rightly say Yunglee i doubt everything would be needed, so better to just get the body and a better lens and keep my bridge camera for general use. will look at your recommended company.

cheers

The crew would launch with some techies and movers on board and would go to destinations such as Prestwick, Wittering, Wildenrath and Jersey from memory. as a young LAC I was fortunate to be selected for one such ...
