The North of England does not...

[Overread16 4]

appreciate the value of Sigma. -- well at least the western side of the north, I've no idea about over the hills

Specifically the 120-300mm f2.8 OS

Tried several of the biggest and all were special orders only now got my fingers crossed that London Camera Exchange in Manchester can track one down in their empire of shops. Otherwise I'm left either ordering blind or a hefty train bill down to Norfolk (and they be strange people up thar*)






*Note - Norfolk is always "up" from a Suffolk local

I would offer to bring you one up from Paris as I will be setting foot on your island soon for the first time in my life...

but I have a feeling I'm not going north enough. Just a bit northwest of London

Ahhh remember to bring a raincoat with you esp at this time of year.

Ps best place in the londonish area British Wildlife Centre, Surrey. More than forty different British wild animals in large attractive enclosures. Though its more down south of London - plus Lost Prophet lurks in the Reading waters which is more off to the south west.

Thanks for the tips but I'm just coming for a funeral

My last family member in the UK, that I know of anyway, and I'm only going to be there 3 days. 2 to pack his library that he left me and 1 for the funeral itself, then I head back. I have no time right now to do any more than that.

Check on the raincoat

Ahh I'm very sorry to hear that

Hope the few rushed days go smooth for you - and heck with that tunnel you should slink over and visit again (just wait till summer when its a little less rainy )
