I'm excited

I have a lens arriving tomorrow I have wanted for a long time...

Stop teasing us....

...which one is it?

The lens I have been wanting for 3 months arrived today and I am excited about that.

It was my 16-45 back from repair to the jammed focus/zooom mechanisms after a little bump in September

Was it expensive to repair and is it as good as new again?

The repair cost £36 inc VAT at Johnsons Photopia.

I have not yet had chance to test it in the field but the mechanisms seem free and smooth. A couple of shots of my PC monitor look sharp enough.

There is still slight cosmetic damage to the front of the filter ring caused when the camera (round my neck, with no lens cap) was sandwiched between me and a door frame as I walked down the aisle in a train running over a bit of rough track in Cornwall.

Apparently replacement parts could not be sourced but I am glad in a way because it might have been a much more expensive repair and the damage is hardly noticeable.

Thanks Peter, that sounds pretty good.

Thanks are due to Roger & Yvonne for good service from Johnsons.

That's a good price for repair.

I presume it was a case of strip down, clean, reassemble, check & test.

Anyway Gary, sorry to hijack your thread but what lens are you excited about?

Hey that's ok Peter.

I will say tomorrow when hopefully it safely arrives

Drama queen....lol Hope it all goes well for you...

...he's just keeping us in suspenders !

Then it cannot possibly be a let down, can it??

Only if it doesn't turn up lol....

I thought it was just me
