Not really Kris, I had a brief play with it along with a K 15mm 3.5 which I picked up as part of job lot, I remember the 15mm had terrible flare. I already had those focal lengths well covered and never contemplated keeping either. That hole in my K lens line-up will have to stay a hole for the moment then! Did you try it out first?

I believe you couldn't use a filter on the 18mm because it vignetted, it did have several built in filters though, but they wern't much use on digital and I can't remember if it was the 15mm or the 18mm that had the built in UV filter??£400 sounds pretty good, mine's cased too.

I sold one a few months back to a fellow in Italy for around 400quid. Mint condition with original hard case.

So even if this error were significant enough and was liable to send a company bankrupt, you would still pursue it, That doesn't bother you ::, i'm talking about ethics here, not the law as its written, whatever it may be. Clarky wrote:

Well in the UK its currently a fairly expensive place to live so if a shop makes an error thats in our (being the customers) interest then too right we'll jump on it. We all did when Jessops made errors so this store really is no different. Jessops said that as they had not charged the card then it was acceptable to remove the item listings and as they had not charged the buyers card then no law was broken. This store has charged the card of Tim, ok it refunded it but once that payment was taken then as far as I know a contract was formed. Now I'm not an expert in the field as I guess we are all not so Polchraine saying for Tim to see his local trading standards office where he could get all the facts on the matter and if he could legally pursue that item at that price is not silly but actually rather a smart thing to do.[quote:3496ace15f="polchraine"]

I will just watch for now and be amused by Polchraine's conspiracy theories,

I would bet my last dollar if it had been you who made the mistake and was going to lose hundreds of pounds, I wouldn't see you skipping off to the post office to mail them. Let it go, if a couple of you got lucky, then good on you, but don't take polchraine's silly advice, I don't believe you would have a leg to stand on.

I could never sell my 31,77mm ltds, I would usually take one of them with me where ever I go.

The 15mm has a choice of none, skylight, UV, yellow and orange. The 18mm has the choice of cloudy, skylight, yellow and orange.
I remember that job lot well. It had the K 30mm in it as well, didn't it?
