There is yet another factor to consider here that most of us have so far not considered. The Pound is incredibly strong and we are always being told how much this damages British exports, but by the same token our imports should be dirt cheap!! Why are we paying so much more? Surely it is in the interests of all photographers, graphic artists etc concerned to kick up as much fuss about this as possible. Over the course of a year we pay an enormous amount of money very unfairly that could be put towards other uses and I'll bet for most of us that difference adds up to several thousand pounds.
