I need to vent!

At the beach, taking some kick ass shots of the moon and sunset.

Put the camera on the tripod, and tripod takes a dive, camera lands lens first in the sand...

Now i have to take it to the shop to get the sand out. Dammit.

That would suck. Didn't scratch the glass?

Have ordered a few reprolabels from Reprolabels.com and it has been 6 weeks, and they still have not arrived . contacted them last week to say my order has not arrived and they sent out another order. i have not had any trouble so far with them, this is the first time. especially frustrated as they are G1 repros, can't work out why they are taking so long, either someone is knocking them off or the postie is upto no good.

It did suck. Luckily the lens wasn't scratched, but took it in to get a clean anyway. Looking at $166 just to get a clean out. If any of the gears are stripped... The guy said about $250 or so for a new lens assembly. Might as well go and buy the next level camera up for that price!

Whoa!

That's the 1st I've ever heard of anyone copping that much crap dude, I'm extremely sorry to hear as I've never had anything like that happen to me - Hearing what Sydney posties are like though, there's every chance that s/he is the reason you've not received them yet mate.

I hope they arrive soon for you, keep us all posted huh?

Sorry to hear dude, that happened with my Father's camera my younger Brother borrowed when he went to Summernats one year; Luckily it was salvageable (Certainly wasn't a camera on the scale you have) though but yeah - Those repairs definitely cost an arm & a leg!

To be honest I hate it when my entertainment has to explicitly dot every i and cross every t. Sometimes, loose threads, plot holes and continuity gaffs can lead to good stories.

I hate it so much!

And then people seem to think that their lives should wrap up neatly like some TV programme. Gah, horrible.

I hear ya. That was my major gripe with the Hunger Games movie - they rammed each plot point and theme home so hard, like the audience is filled with cretins and isn't capable of understanding subtlety or nuance.

My first experience with products BBTS is a bit sweet and sour.
I got some things at a better grade then was listed which was good but my Encore Devvy has a big dent in the front of the box and it was listed as C8 grade.
I've emailed them to see what they will do about it but I'm a little peeved.

They are usually very slow - Canadian post is a fickle beast.

From what I understand they print to order, so they don't have most labels on hand. Also, I've noticed that they are heaps slower when an order coincides with a big release of new labels (every 6-8 weeks), as they get a big influx of new orders. My orders have taken as little as 2 weeks and as much as 6 or 7, so hopefully they will be coming to you soon.
