Some very bad news I am afraid, New York Camera have gone bust and out of business. They have laid off their staff and a bank official has been appointed to liquidate the company. I have received the below email from one of their employees. I have also posted the headers of this email to [...]

I bought it about a week ago from Amazon having glanced through it in a book shop in Dublin, and it looks really good. Looking forward to getting tucked into it and learning some PS wizadry. Of course, if I [...]
