As per title, mate of mine is flying to London next friday and he's thinking of coming back with a nice new shiny lens (or two) for his Nikon SLR.

We've been looking at Jessops online store and prices seem decent, should we be looking somewhere else?

Thank you muchly,

Sincerely yours, confused from Portugal.

Unfortunately it's not me who's going, it's a mate, I just showed him the website and we're both drooling all over the computer screens...

*fingers crossed for tonight's lottery numbers...*

Tell him not to book his return flight too soon then, he might be delayed!

Mr Lou ordered some stuff on line from them, then when he was in London decided to pop in. Their second hand range is good too.

Aw Filipe. Can't you take advantage of our Monopoly money pound and come with? The pound's not even worth €1. Oh how the mighty are fallen.

C'mon over:D

Mr Lou also says that if you ask Gray nicely he'll let your friend go down into the showroom!

Sorry Ed, can't make it this time, I'll be... err... busy. 8-[ :smt040

Thanks Lou, I'll pass that on too. Now could someone please drop by the store next friday evening and check if my mate is still there drooling at the windows? It was already hard enough trying to drag him away from the computer screen...

Hand luggage! Lenses are not very big or heavy and in fact rather delicate.

Bugger...

See problem solved!

You'll just have to invite us all over on the proviso that we bring camera bits with us!

Deal, as long as you're paying for the bits. First request is a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G, thank you :smt040

I've got the Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX HSM. It is also rather nice, very nice. In fact, it is brilliant.

Looks so, but for that asking price I'd go with the new Nikkor :shock:
