    Default New Equipment this year ?

    Is any one thinking of buying any new equipment this year?

    I am thinking of buying a new Standard 50mm -300mm Telephoto lens for my Nikon D50 and also thinking of buying the Lowepro Mini Trekker back pack

    I actually bought a Sigma 70-300 mm dg macro lens.

    Had a look at the Lowepro Mini Trekker back pack and the local shop wanted £99.99 for it so I am going to have to shop around. I think it can be bought for a good deal less

    Thanks for that Rolf. I knew It could b bought for less. I saw it in Digital Photography Mag about a year ago for £50. So that would be about the price now.

    Well . I bought most of the equipment I mentioned.
    I bought a Sigma DG Macro 70-300 mm lens
    A 2X teleplus converter
    My latest additions to my gear is a new camera Nikon D80. A 1.5X teleplus converter the Tamrac Expedition 7 backpack to carry all my equipment plus a laptop
    The expedition 7 caries laptops to 15.4" screen

    BTW. The Equipment you see in the bag is to show what the bag carries. It is not my equipment

    Rolf mentioned the 7dayshop website early in this thread which iv'e not yet had a very thorough look through but I can tell you it is pretty much unbeatable pricewise for printer catridges......until someone tells me otherwise.
