Dear Photographer,

We hope this e-mail finds you well and with lots of bookings and jobs lined up for the the months ahead. To assist you with your equipment needs, we are always sourcing those interesting and difficult to find items and currently have a good selection of professional photographic gear in stock. We would like to invite you to pop into our showroom in Observatory for a browse and a chat.

Lensbaby Lens Promotion

Lensbaby lenses are creative effects lenses made for SLR and mirror-less cameras. They are great for both still photography and digital video effects. Lensbaby is a complete creative effects lens system made up of lenses, optics and accessories with many interchangeable combinations making very versatile, creative tools and at affordable prices.

For the month of March we will be running a Lensbaby promotion and will make available a range of lenses for testing at our showroom. Bring your camera and experiment with the various options and decide which one is best for you. Pricing will be friendly too!

If you have one of the less popular camera models, please let us know beforehand and we will endeavour to have a system for you to try out.
