    Hi folks,

    I'm wondering if people on here have any good/bad experience with buying digital camera bits and bobs from various places and if there are any places where a bargain or two can be picked up on occasion.

    What I'm after specifically are a number of filters, 52mm to start with, probably an ND4, Circular Polarising and UV. I'm also after a 10-20 Sigma USM lens for my Nikon D40 and was wondering if there are any second hand places on/off-line that are worth a butchers.

    Any help comes much appreciated :)

    I've been a fan of http://www.cameras2u.com for a while and I have had happy perchases from a seller called "Digital Rev" on ebay, however like a moron I keep forgetting to add them to my favorite sellers :/

    Thanks for that Cabe. I've seen Digital Rev, but hadn't heard of cameras2u. :thumb:

    Cameras2u (as well as Tecno and Shopping4cameras) are Jessops.

    Onestop-Digital(.com) are way better than Digital Rev, as is a chap called 'Kerso' (ebay userid) ;)

    Another recommendation for kerso here. I've bought lenses & a flash from him, with great service and very cheap prices. :)

    Onestop-digital.com - what's the deal with VAT FREE and the VAT Reclaim Form? It seems too good to be true.. a Sigma 10-20 for £258.81 (includes 2% discount if paid into a HSBC account over the counter).

    Does 'Devon Camera Centre' come recommended? Prices there seem to be on par with kerso's.

    I just bought that lens from onestop-digital.com (the Sigma 10-20 that is). They ship from China, and declare it as a gift to get through customs. I had no problems with mine - took less than a week to arrive.
