sorry i can't remember the make, it's my mate Neil who's got the camera but he's got a mate in wigan that can do them at that price.
i've seen the pics he did when he went to india and they were great just with the basic setup, the only other option is to get one of ebay.

I guarantee I was worse on Saturday morning Ashleigh and Steve was feeling a little delicate after the drinks on Friday night, it got to the point were Steve gave me the net and I caught my own :lol:

Ive only had about 200 photo's to sort through so there should be some photo's up soon of my shipment :lol:

:lol: It's alright Ashleigh, i already have 16 of them and was being greedy with wanting more in all honesty. The following day (after a few beers) i decided to purchase a Red-tail Garra (Garra sp burmanicus) instead. :D
