Thanks guys - it's been an excellent performer but I really don't use it often enough to keep it.

Once upon a time I compared it against the Pentax 100-300 and the Tamron 70-300mm non-OS and found it to be the best by a whisker, though they each had their pros and cons.

Any interest at £75 shipped?

A very late bank holiday bump.

An early bank holiday bump and a price drop to £85 shipped for both the lens and the B+W filter.

I'd heard that somewhere as well, but the 50-150mm OS and 120-300mm are listed as EX lenses, and they're both newer than the 8-16mm. Perhaps they were the last of them.

Anyway, I'm glad this excellent lens has found a new home! Sorry for the off-topic discussion.

Just a bump...

When reading reviews I came across the same thing. They couldn't find an exact reason why it wasn't an EX lens, it just wasn't so titled.

Spectacular lens, however. The 'mushrooms' photo in my portfolio was taken with an 8-16mm. The odd number of blades really makes for great starburst effects.

Both photos are jpegs straight from the camera, just cropped and given positive exposure compensation.
