I thought it was just within the context of being compared to the old da 70mm

Just read the review by Gary Wolstenholme and as expected it was a positive review.
The one line that always gets my attention on lens reviews is the price line. In this review "Even with the £570 price tag, this lens represents excellent value for money, given that it is well built and performs well."
By starting the sentence with "Even", it's telling you that it's expensive.
Direct from the main Oz importer and at full RRP including sales tax it costs AU$699 which is GBP413.70
If it "represents excellent value" in the UK what term would you use when outside the UK?
Best regards

On the 50mm lenses as you get wider apertures the focus throw increases.

I have a windows phone and wanted to use my eyefi card whilst shooting in the club. I bought an android phone and boy what utter junk. Its like going back to the stone age. Unresponsive, jittery scrolling. Thankfully my son who works in var phone warehouse found me a cheap iPhone 4 which works a treat with the eyefi card. I still lovemy windows phone though.

There maybe six listed but you will struggle to see one in store. The prices of these bodies prevent them being kept as stock items, the same with most Jessops too.Just checked on line and there are 6 listed

The mkiis didn't fit within my business plans, to little difference in image quality for too much money.

Yes I realise that. But I thought the high ISO nightclub shots were very good and there was particular praise for the AF (same on both) so I am interested in why it fell short of expectations.

I have two card wallets, marked unused and used. Card from unused goes in and at the end of the day comes out, is backed up to the laptop via a card reader and then put into used. card two is installed for the next day, and so on all through let's say a week's holiday.
When I return home the cards are copied onto my PC using a card reader and then each card formatted ready for use again.
For me, connecting the camera to the PC never happens, so yes, I need to use the card door.
