Just a reminder... Photovision 2012 is tomorrow at Croke Park. Got some interesting price lists be mail if you're in the market for new gear this isn't to bad. The seminars starts at 10am and the trade show at 11am

So did anybody get to go to this?

pullandbang

Yep, me as did quite a few other Boardsies (and former Boardsies - PC). Not much different from last year TBH, lots of wedding albums....

I went. Very disappointing. If you're looking for print/wedding albums, it's great. Otherwise, not a whole lot there.

In saying that, Birmingham's were doing a 10% sale, so I did save on an item I wanted.

tororosso

Ah that's kind of what I expected. If Bermingham's were doing a 10% discount that is good to hear. Perhaps more will be encouraged to do so next year and they might compete a bit. Nothing worse than paying into something like that only to stand in front of a bunch of stalls selling with no discounts! At least it was a mini social gathering for some of the boardsies!

All the exhibitors were doing deals on the day, most of them in excess of 10%, also there has never been an entrance fee to PhotoVision - just to set the record straight....

Last year when I went there was great savings on gear. Its more for studio/portrait/wedding photographers in terms of the exhibitors. Great that it's still free too.

I was asked several questions b4 I was let in.
Met P&B and a few pixies including SusieQ
The show itself had nothing for me cept a bag I liked but they didn't actually sell them there :rolleyes:

I got onto the seating in the stadium and took a few pics, no tripod...might PP it later.

Oh Bermingham's also had the Canon 5D mk III for 3k

Ok sorry, might have this mixed up with an event in the crown plaza hotel if my memory serves me rightly. Went there about 5 years ago and paid in. Might check out PhotoVision next year so

Photovision is a grand trade show and if you have time to spare its a good event to have a browse and maybe see a seminar or 2. Traders are not going to give away stuff but there are discounts. The free lens cloths and pens come in handy I got a new tripod head from Bermingham's stand with a €30 discount.
