It boasts a nine element in eight group lens design for optimal image quality, and uses a linear stepper motor for smooth and precise autofocusing.

3RD PRIZE Crumpler Creator’s Algorithm backpack Worth £159 Top bag brand Crumpler is a renowned expert at successfully combining style, functionality and usability, and its Creator’s Algorithm backpack is typical. It will take a pro DSLR with three lenses, flashgun and accessories plus a 13in laptop, and there are fittings for a tripod, too. To cope with adverse conditions the bottom is reinforced and waterproofed.

4TH PRIZE Velbon UT-3AR tripod Worth £85

For the second name drawn at random the reward is this comprehensive filter kit from leading creative filter brand Cokin. The kit contains the Z-Pro filter holder, four adapter rings (67, 72, 77 and 82mm) and three essential filters: ND4, 2EV neutral density hard graduate, and 3EV neutral density hard graduate. It’s a great kit to get you on the way to excellent filter photography.

The Velbon UT-3AR tripod comes with a ball and socket head, and this lightweight combination is solid enough to give 3kg of camera kit stable support.
