Their Support has been superb, every time you need help, just get on […] Afternoon, I’m pleased to announce the initial release of the workbook & BIN files for the D7500. These are currently in Beta release and will see updates over the next few weeks. They are available to purchase & anyone doing so now will receive the new versions by email as they are released. Would you […] |
