Focus on Imaging

OK folks, it's nearly that time of year again. http://www.focus-on-imaging.co.uk/

Last year a few of us met up at Focus; this year, some of us were thinking of going down on either the Tuesday or Wednesday (maybe the Wednesday could yield some close of show sell-offs?). Anybody interested?

I have regularly attended over the last ten years. However the show now has nothing of interest to me.

If anyone does not have a free ticket and would like to avoid the £6 entrance fee, just pm me with your address. It does have my name on it but you don't have to display it. It will cost you £8 to park this year.

I shall be going, but not sure which day yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any dodgy looking LFers - I'm sure I can recognise some of you!

I'll be popping down on Sunday for my first visit.
I have a shopping list, hopefully I'll be able to do some damage to it on the day.

Beware of shopping at Focus on Imaging, while most suppliers are perfectly reputable I've had problems twice buying at the show.

Sellers like Robert White are fine but watch the ones who don't have such a good reputation. It can be a pain returning and getting refunds for faulty goods. (Both my cases were unsharp lenses - which doesn't show until you use them).

Ian, care to name and shame if you've factual information rather than starting a slanging / libel match?

It now seems like I'm going Monday as the boss (at work) has organised something for me on Wednesday... Ho-hum, no end of show bargains this year

No I won't mention names but you'll find posts discussing peoples recommendations of UK suppliers on this and other forums, and mention of the more problematic ones.
