The Ensinor 24mm f/2.8, kindly received in prompt and safe fashion from Danofmk.
Looking forward to seeing how it compares to the Sigma Super-Wide ii 24mm f/2.8 that is currently in my arsenal...
In other news, I might be making a few de-acquisitions before too long. I've firmly placed my eye on a 3rd-party, natively-mounted lens for my Sony body as well as hoping to scale back on lenses, as there are many I simply don't use (much to the approval of SWMBO)...

No meat = no carnage - it could lead to a few pulpitations however?

I have a feeling that should say 'A 70-210mm f/4 Macro'!
The macro function on it is surprisingly effective and useful from what I recall!
Lovely shots, plenty of texture without being OTT.

Just buy one of those new ones, they're only €1000...
Or the vintage, M42 one I bought off Lennybloke and am thinking of selling on (to fund something else)... Just buy one of those new ones, they're only €1000...

I can confirm that it was the Pfizer vaccine that she received. it seemed as though a good chunk of her department were scheduled for their vaccines today, so for whatever reason they were allocated their dose and for that I’m grateful (as is she)!Benz3ne wrote:

Worth noting that the Pfizer vaccine comes in batches, each batch must be used pretty quickly because of temperature issues. If there is any left from a batch after top priority people have been dealt with (no-shows etc.), better to use it on other suitable people who happen to be around than throw it away because it is time-expired. That's what I've been told by someone from the local medical fraternity.They took names in the hospital pharmacy where she works, after which it was seemingly random.

My fiancé has had her jab this morning. They took names in the hospital pharmacy where she works, after which it was seemingly random.
Was told this morning that she had an appointment for early this afternoon. All done, slightly achy arm a la flu jab and nothing else.
Back to work this afternoon.

I may be swayed by the Ensinor if you could give me an idea of price.

I’m in exactly the same boat as Rob, false tree (had it 5 years already) and packed away as of this evening along with the rest of the decorations. Job done. Work tomorrow.

...of the 9 lenses I'm considering offloading, 7 of them came from you.
I'm sure a significant proportion of the remainder were once yours also...
