Finally its arrived, wish it would stop raining now so I can give it a go...
I was the lucky winner of the auction on Sunday night. When this lens was last sold on ebay I was outbid at the last moment and have been kicking myself ever since...

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I need the 400mm for arena shows which are being shot from the back rather than the pit, so won't be carrying it around all day like I would the 80-200mm at a festival for example.

400mm f4 ... that was a good buy Gary, especially as it came with a PKA adapter. For the uninitiated, can you please let us in on the secret. I can see it is a big lens but is it a 300 f2.8 of a 400 f4?
Shame you didn't keep the 1.7x .. that would have been interesting
