Shooting down at Lulworth Cove down in Dorset I've noticed that all my shots

Has anyone bought new cameras from the US sellers on eBay? Did you have to
pay VAT? What kind of problems did you encounter? How did the total price
compare to buying from regular UK dealers?

I want some 20x16 prints done from 6x7 velvia transparancies, the
quality is important. I've heard many people say that for good prints
you really need to go to a pro lab and have them done. My alternatives

What's the consensus (if there is one) on chromagenic B & W film e.g.
XP2 versus traditional B & W?
