Following my last post about Sigma’s dodgy customer contentness factor — I’ve another whinge about them.

I sent my flash in to be repaired — and got back a POSTED letter for me to complete. Only, when sending it out, they didn’t bother to check they’d attached the correct quote… they hadn’t.

And now, despite them having my email address I am waiting for them to post out a second… so, don’t think I’ll be buying from Sigma again in a hurry.

But good stuff:

Last Friday I bought (‘won’) a Nikon SB24 flash on eBay. It arrived, from Japan, on Monday morning. Well done that seller.

Last weekend the brass ‘nipple’ for the fastening on my Billingham camera bag vanished. I was a bit upset as the bag was a present (and not cheap) — so I phone up today and the very nice man from Billingham offered to send me a replacement in the post. He even apologised that his post for today had already gone. And he told me how to attach it so it hopefully won’t fall off again. I know it shouldn’t have fallen off — but now it has done I’m re-assured by the great support they offer.

That said — I’m fancying a Lowepro Slingshot to make me look less like an old man.
