This item (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ILFORD-PQ-UNIVERSAL-PAPER-DEVELOPER-5L-CHEMICAL-New-/190588595168?pt=UK_Photography_DarkroomSupplies_SM&hash=item2c5ff72be0) made me laugh. They seem to have pinched a competitors picture and then undercut them by several pounds.

Nice one, Dave. The seller might now be off Rodney Bates' Xmas card list this year. :D

A photgraphic firm that can't do their own product shots - Kinda puts one off dealing with them..

Does seem weird that they nicked that image. I bought a tripod and head from them a few years back and they were fine to deal with - maybe they got some kid in on work experience doing the ebay listings?

As our fellow photographer Denis would say "silly billies"

Well they seem to have a fair range of camera bags and other things photographic as opposed to things "analogue photographic"

In terms of consumable items for analogue use I don't think our sponsors have much to worry about.

About 6 years ago I printed some swatches for Ilford and happened to be wasting time looking on Ebay when I came across a guy selling a couple of my images that we had used in making the swatches. I contacted him and asked where he had received permission to sell the prints. He was decent enough to say he did not have permission and removed the images.

Theres nowt so funny as folk:slap:
