It's a deal

Now do I move to the New Forest or will you move to the Netherlands.

Or better yet, since it is chucking it down again, we could both move to Spain. Maybe Peter would like to borrow it too .

Is this lens full frame? If so it really should be more of an 8-1000mm.

And f/1.7 is a little slow. f/1.0 would be better.

I'm sure it would come with a free camera!
