I can only use 1 hand, so a lot of shots are not sharp, particularly at the longer focal lengths.
My policy;
Shoot in AP, set the aperture to suit the desired image and composition.
Highest Shutter Speed possible, if not high enough increase iso.
Use tripod,monopod or any sort of support, even leaning against a tree where possible.
If no support available tension your body, imagine you are about to thump somebody.
Breath out slowly while taking the the shot.
Always use sr.

Just to get back to the OP,
was the thread deleted, or did I go through a time warp?

brand new £257 so your price slightly high
Without wishing to further clutter the thread, the seller post`s what they think is a selling price.
The buyer offers what they think is a buying price.
Then people negotiate.
Your post is irrelevant, pointless and unnecessary.

Also could of swore I contributed to it.

Recently walking around Windhoek(Namibia) several local stopped me to warn of possible problems with such high value (their words) kit on show;
K20+24-70 2.8.
Never had any issues though, apart from feeling slightly uncomfortable about carrying what amounted to several years of income to the average Namibian.

No3 very impressive, good subject isolation, the others all seem slightly cluttered.
Would be interested in how you achieved these, surely not just the macro + teleconverter ?
