Hi there!

I’ve a special question, even if I should post it here. I am from France, and I’ll fly and visit Cork this week end. I’d like to by a Tokina 11-16 lens. Very hard to find in France. Do you know any shop in Cork where I could by it pls?

I guess I should’not go at O’Leary’s Camera World

Have good time!
David

‘LOL ANY IMAGE U PUT ON THE WEB SHOULD BE WATERMARKED’

That’s right FAZER — if you publish an image and someone rips you off, it’s your own fault for not being paranoid enough. suuuure. I suppose the same applies if you walk down the street wearing expensive shoes and someone mugs you.

Sometimes the people who do the ripping-off have to be held responsible for their own actions, instead of blaming the victim.

Tim – no reaction at all, but this post has been found by a number of people searching for camera shops in Cork, and by people looking for O’Leary’s too so I’d be surprised if a customer didn’t bring it up with them.

Talking about Camera Shops. I have been looking to buy a flash for my Nikon and had my eyes set on the new SB-900. The shops in Cork are selling it for €480 but I found a shop in Dublin ( Dooblin like that has the flash in stock for €425. Perfect like . The name of the shop is Bermingham Cameras.

Have you had any reaction from Camera World on this post? I can’t believe that they would try and bullshit you about the images in the digital frame. Low. Of course all of these small retailers are feeling the pinch, and in the end they will disappear. I have mixed feelings about that, and I bought my Olympus510 from bhphotovideo.com on the net, shipped by UPS. Even with import duty I saved 30%, had I been in the States and not declared my purchase…(as if) I potentially could have saved 50%.
Keep up the good work Donnacha.

Donncha. Careful where you hang it. Private property, bathroom..bedroom . I think it worth studying the issue. I did this because I had a shot of a child playing rugby that has been requested for publishing by a sport publication in the states. This is how I started studying all the legality of photography.
If you think the law is against photography, you should see the legislation for architecture. Theoretically I should stop working because you can be sued for anything. Before designing, I have to fill in thousands of reports..bleah. No fun.

There’s also the issue of shooting *from* private property to consider. I was on the top floor of a multi storey carpark taking photographs without permission or license. If I sold the shot you can be sure they’d look for their cut if they knew about it and it was worth the money!

I’ll just go hang up my camera now. (joking!)
