The DFA 100 macro is super, Charlotte. I'd take up Dr O's offer if I were you! I've already got one or I'd have it.

I like that dofmaster....very useful. Shows exactly how little dof there is on macro shots.

Lens received yesterday, absolutely perfect condition as expected for a lens only one month old. Perfect transaction, paid (by bank transfer ) on Monday, lens received Thursday afternoon in France. Can't say better than that.

Thanks Dave!

The only problem that can arise with a bank transfer is, as Mike says, if the seller does not part with the item after receiving the money. That would be the same with a cheque.

I've paid for 2 items on here by bank transfer with no problem whatsoever. (One was Mike P, mind you! :lol

No 2 for me also.

I think the weight problem has been confused. You are saying that the DA-L 55-200 is light, but then someone has said the DA 55-300 is heavy. But I would suggest that the DA-L 55-300 isn't!

I have bought the DA 55-300 and it is a little heavy to keep steady. But when the light is poor I always use a tripod (or don't use the lens). When the light is good then as long as you use a reasonable shutter speed then it's no problem.

I took a while to get used to using such a long lens but when you have it sussed then this lens is brilliant. As with all lenses, it's practice which counts.

As an aside, when I bought the lens I was given a free UV filter to use with it. The filter made it impossible to focus at anything over 150mm so I ditched the filter and all was made clear.

Hi there!

I'm a Manchester boy myself.......though now living in France.

You've come to the right place!

My dog provides that!
