...wait for him when he returned home, fully equipped with frying pan, apron, rollers, and an expression that could freeze lava. Mr Morris continued, ...

like the first one - why are many of the others so dark?

I've made up my mind: I want a K5 but I need to fund it. So this and the 85 are going.

Tamron 10-24. I bought this, new, last christmas, from SRS. I have the original box but stupidly managed to lose the lens cap on Christmas Eve in Kuopio. I will replace this before shipping.

Comes complete with rear lens cap and sunshade (not that it needs much of one!). 77mm filter size.

It's a nice lens but I don't use it anywhere near enough.

Shots from it:

(both mild HDR!)

This lens is availble now at SRS for £379; I figure they'd price it second hand at around £320, so I'd like a round £300 please.

Lens is in Lahti or Helsinki, Finland; Price includes postage to EU.

Send me a PM or email my username @hotmail.com if you're interested.

like the last three, definitely the feel of time and effort put in to these things... very nice.

What I think there is an opportunity for here is a server on the end of an Internet connection. To which is attached a RAID box with your data on it. You seed it and maybe rotate once a month. The rest of the time you push the files you want via secure method (SFTP?) to a remote location and they are at a seperate location and also copied.

Cloud backups won't work, you'll hit "fair use" limits pretty quickly. I think I could get to the better part of 1TB for around €30 a month; the network & datacentre space is the real problem. Real connectivity costs money....check out Amazon's 3S service for the pricing they use.

I can get out onto the balcony again now (last week the handles were put back on!) so I'll be trying to get some decent FW shots. The big display last year was almost unimpressive from here, I might go out and try to get some better shots.
