Focus on Imaging
 

Any one else going... I will likely be there on the sunday? It is on every year but this year they did not seem to advertise.???

from their site:

FOCUS ON IMAGING is Europe's biggest annual imaging show, covering all your needs from image capture through to output and beyond.

Whether you are a professional image maker or processor, a buyer of image making equipment or materials, a manufacturer or distributor of products or a keen hobbyist, a visit to FOCUS ON IMAGING is a must.

Over 200 exhibitors and product launches galore - including all the very latest digital cameras and processing equipment - will feature at FOCUS 2009.

Anyway Pros and trade get in free everyone else is only £6...

I did plan to go but the Canon price rise forced my hand and I've had to buy my new lens already. I'm sort of spent out now, for the rest of the year! Are you still looking for a new tripod? There may be some good deals there. Have fun.

My freebie trade tickets have only just arrived, quite a bit later than normal and I haven't seen as much advertising as usual. Times are obviously hard in the snapping world with a few well known names doing a Woolies.

I haven't looked at who's there this year but I wouldn't be surprised to see a smaller list than last year. The way the corporate grim reaper has been sything through the pro labs - and that before the Crunch- I'd be amazed if any of the survivors have the cash to fund a stand.

I do tend to go each year but I'm not sure why. I always come away with a weariness borne of cynicism determined not to go again but I've usually forgotten it all 12 months later. If I do go it won't be until the Tues at the earliest as fortunately I'm in France til then.

The band keeps playing while the ship goes down is coming to mind.

Could be fun seeing how far you can beat down the dealers though?:innocent:

Mornin' Chaps & Chapesses,

I must admit that it used to be an annual visit for myself but I gave up last year, as it became more of a Ground Hog Day event than something of interest.
