Sorry to read of your despise, Joe, hope you have good trip anyway. In a week or two I'll be looking to buy some more kit and I decided that I would not order it from one store, but rather ring around as and when I'm ready. It has always worked for me in the past..... Have a good time and take lotsa pics :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
