That's a very cheap price if you ask me
Thanks Gareth,

The usage marks can be clearly seen in the images so I've priced it so a prospective purchaser should be happy they've got a good deal.

For sale is my Sigma 70 - 200 F2.8 lens,

The lens comes with hood, caps an unused case and instructions, its even in the original plastic bag !! Its had good use so is showing signs of this, particularly on the lens hood, the zoom barrel is also showing signs of use, Optically its excellent, no signs of fungus but a little dust is to be expected, recent images taken with the lens also attached as are images of the lens / hood / case and box.

I'd class the lens as good to very good and priced accordingly @ £375 including RMSD - Bank Transfer preferred - I'd be happy to take a £50 committed holding deposit then once the balance has been transferred post it as soon as the social distancing has been relaxed or potentially deliver it personally depending on where abouts in the country you are, again once the travelling restrictions have been lifted.

The early light is almost horizontal. This is a young plant in a pot which was strategically placed to produce a nice bokeh when photographed with a 200mm Takumar at f3.5
The light and bokeh are superb

Hi Rob

They were two black tiles I purchased from Tile Giant a few years ago, cost about £4 for the 2, these ones are 300mm Sq, here's the setup.

You could try ordering to via " click and collect " from Wickes or a tile shop if theres one open nr you.

Ignore the flash transmitter, not used on that shot, or the roses

Love the colours, marbling in the flag stones, focal point, DOF, perspective sense of place and overall impact

I would have found it hard to resist removing the encroaching twigs and leaves in the top, RH corner, but that might just be my OCD getting the better of me. Interested to learn what others think.Jon
I agree with removing the twigs / leaves from the top RH corner, I think I would also clone out the person in nearest the camera and give the impression of a long clear open path with the dappled sunlight.

I cheated and purchased a bunch of mixed flowers from a local supermarket, gave them to the misses then pinched a load to shoot
