Could you let me have the listing number for that one? I cannot get it to come up on a "completed listings" search. I want to add it to the database!
Thanks, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Well, I picked up the 70mm from the sorting office today (missed the postie by 5 mins yesterday). Unpacking it was like pass the parcel, as Davy had packed it extremely well.
Didn't get chance to play with it today, shame because I'd planned to !
Just taken a few test shots of a house plant to check it out. I must say, I'm already impressed.
Wide open at f2.8

I always shoot Raw & boost contrast & sharpening in post processing, but I had to apply much lower levels of both to these shots & I haven't even tested it round its sweet spot yet.
A short working distance will not work in favour if shooting bugs, but the focal length is a good compromise for me.
