What brand grip is this, it says it takes AAs :

Flamethrowers and hairspray The poor little caterpillar, nice set of nippers though.

Good shots mike

Congratulations, I hope you get hrs of enjoyment out of it. I know I do

Wow £60 for this lens, are you sure? I have 2 of them both boxed, I picked up one for £15 and the other came with an MZ5n I picked up for
£45.

What brand are you switching too :

Fascinating stuff, well done

I'm feeling festive so here are few items I don't need or want.
All I ask is the cost of postage.
I prefer them to go to someone who needs them and not sold on for profit.
Postage will not exceed 4quid, less for the manuals I suspect. I will pass on the actual postage costs after I sent them and we can come to some arrangment for payment.

Thanks for that

I have brought several lenses from overseas but I made a point of purchasing the DA*16-50 from a local retailer because of the reported issues with this lens, I wanted the ease of returning it if I had to.

Buy it from SRS.

Mike P is known to find the odd bargain or 2, Just need to keep your ear to the ground and one eye open I guess.

The one that sold in the US is identical to the one I have. It doesn't appear to have all the accessories either.
I'm still not tempted to sell it though.

Well done Hefty, I don't feel so guilty about my bargain now
