I do know a colleague deliberately drinks Lapsang Souchong because it has the very strong, smoky flavour he's looking for....problem is, it stinks the office out, too.

?subject... it wasn't me, but I know where there's another one....

Cheaper, too

or is there a better alternative? 300+, zoom, reasonably large aperture, decent quality, should still fit in a Stealth 600. 70-200 + 2xtc?

The aim is a family of swans that live on the lake. Range is around 400m.

Bret

leapfrog. No. I'm not even going to apologise for that

I think a Balvenie portwood tonight to try and kill my cold.....

Bret

10 degrees plus! first time in aaages. Like... 6 months? probably 5.

Bret

my car has no errors! Yay!

(for the first time in .... seven months).

How long it will stay that way is another story entirely....

Bret

sssh, I'd prefer a zoom 135-400 or so. However, I *can* hear them calling my name, even across the ocean....

Bret

Ok, the bug has bitten. But I'll need to sell this first.

F4, light, usable, sharp. Great walkabout. I'm selling because I really, really want f2.8 and I'm prepared to heft the cash and the lenses to do that.

It's at the moment in Lahti; I will be in the UK in three weeks or I can post. Your call. Post will not be expensive, but I am not shipping uninsured.

52mm filter thread, screw on hood.

£50 is reasonable, I think; PM or my username @hotmail.com.

Thanks!

Bret

srs have the 180s listed at £520....

Bret

I have an option on both of these.
Both are used (the viv obviously so) and there is brassing evident on the viv. The most serious issue, though, is that the aperture is stuck open on the viv.
It feels good, looks pretty clean but the aperture are a dealbreaker for me.

The 300 is going to be a PF monster, I fear.
Both are M42.

Any thoughts on the value / usability of these? There's a 2x converter there, too, but I'm not particularly interested as it's M42.
Or should I be?

Bret

too bright for me...
