      Thats helpful thank you, the prices are great but wondering if its UK stock or not

    3. Durranhill

      Durranhill

      They are classed as Grey goods but they are identical to Canon UK stock & have the same warranty, they get dispatched from HDEW's UK warehouse not Hong Kong like Panamoz .

      Swifty11

      In that case i'll do a bit more digging and see, SLRHut I know are imports and its a bit of a lottery weather you'll get something good or not

      Thanks!

      You won't get a picture of it, it'll be in the old tank siding which is surrounded by balfour beatty maintenance trucks

       

      Personally I don't think its actually moved, it had a big 'not to be moved' board on it and lots of orange men around

       

      It needs to be roaded out anyway, I'll have a look tomorrow and see if I can get a shot and let you know
