OK Gents, I have a massive bid waiting to go in on esnipe 1 second before the end. So you may as well not bother, at all.

The sunset one for me, with a kit lens

Sounds like a plan to me.

At the moment not doing any shooting, but very rarely do indoors anyway. Am going to look for something long. I understand why people go for fast glass, but for my interest`s am quite happy with F4. Will do some research on the long FL area. I think current options are probably sigma 120-400, Possibly a Bigma.

Think one recently went on ebay for about £180 ish, not my scene realy.
Have full sets of ND grads and polarisers, a grip dos`nt appeal.
My windfall is a gift from a relative, he is specific that it should be for photographic equipment, so a new computer is out.

Have decided am going to add 1 lens to my collection, almost certainly used, and not a prime. Looking to go to 400mm or beyond
Will probably sell my 16-45 on ebay, just to rationlise.

But I do that all the time on ebay. However, any lenses worth buying to keeep as an investment :
My wife is currently in Rome on business, 17 `C, Sunny, No wind.

TBH always thought carbon tripods a bit over priced, am thinking about a Bigma, if only because I can sell it on if i dont use it. 10-17 fisheye does appeal particularly after a recent thread, had forgotten about that one.
Sorry Barrie, the wife gets first option on Italy of course there is always a chance : maybe better not go there.

Oddly as it seems, despite my earlier post re LBA, in about 3 weeks i will have around £1000 to spend on Photographic gear. I am happy with my K20 so do not feel the need for the K7, I am also happy with my current lenses; see my sig. Have no great desire to get into flash. I have access to a pro quality A3 printer. So the question is what would you do : I HAVE to spend the money on photographic gear, so a week in italy will not suffice.
Come on folks I need good ideas

Surprised there have been no comments on this.
A good example of what the Tammy can achieve, Like the colour of the collar and the Bokeh, not so sure on the reflection in the top half of the eye though.
Don`t normally "do" dog shots, but this is a good un.
