Title says it all - well almost all as it doesn't apply to DSLRs.

I've bought from them before and found their service good.

However I can't get their website to work properly at the moment.

Works fine here, and worth noting that the discount is taken off the basket figure rather than the quoted product price

...and only on in stock items. I can't see many of the popular lenses being in stock, although I have my fingers crossed for a Nikkor 24-70 thumbup

Can't thank you enough for that heads up.

I've been looking at a big telezoom for months, but with them all over £600 it's a cost that's hard to justify.

Thanks to you, I just ordered a 150-500mm Sigma and saved over £160.

Cheers !

25% is a hell of a discount, and I’ve been looking to purchase a Canon 24-105mm F/4L IS for a while now. So a perfect opportunity. Assuming its in stock and they haven’t gone bust!!!! I will have my self a new piece of L glass biggrin

Many many thanks for the heads up bowthumbup

When I look at their Canon lenses, it only shows several items on the list?
Not like when I've looked previously and there is a massive list of stuff... confused

Website problems?

I got the impression that because the sale is only for stock items, they've taken non-stock off the website for the time being.

I hope it doesn't mean they need to raise a load of cash urgently to stop them going under.

You're not the only ones:

Thank you for placing your web order with us.

Unfortunately the item(s) you have ordered are out of stock and will not
be despatched to you. I can confirm that your credit card has not been
debited.
Tinpot camera shop's special offer backfires it seems. Great way to get me to not buy anything from them again. Awful website too.
