Secondhand camera
The secondhand camera graded as good could not be distinguished from new. Good to get a six months guarantee but it proved impossible to get the actual terms of the insurance. Good price.

Phoned the shop in Colchester to alter the delivery date and the lady in the shop could not have been nicer or more helpful. Very pleased with the camera I bought too.

Tameron 150-600mm lens.
Website is easy to use.
Delivery was fast. I ordered on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday, from Colchester to Lydney.
The lens was packaged well, wrapped in plenty of bubble wrap, in a box, inside a larger box packed with recycled plastic air pockets.
Product was as described and in excellent condition.
