Should have added;
Lens has built in hood and comes with original case and front lens cap, generic rear cap, and tripod collar.
A good light weight so is suitable for hand holding.

This lens is in fair used condition;



It has a bit of paint loss wear around the aperture ring;



The glass is unmarked, coatings bright, and the aperture is clean and snappy;


There are a few specs of dust behind the front element, but nothing that affects IQ.
This is a decent example of a budget way to get 400mm at F5.6.
AF is very fast and precise.
Some samples at various apertures below;

I think £225 inc special delivery in the UK is a fair price for this.
Happy to accept Paypal gifted or Bank Transfer.
You may collect in Wrexham or Chester, or happy to meet within 25 miles of either.
Thanks for looking,

No9 was my sticking point
A interesting set of contrasting images, particularly like No13 a case of unlucky for some ? maybe, But great attitude in the pose.

Davex.

Very useful, particularly for us waverers

My mobile is supplied by the company i work for.
I beleive the average bill is less than £5 a month.
The phone itself is nearly 10 years old, it hasn't even got a camera

Perhaps it`s me, but they all look like you where a touch too far away.
Obviously you only had 300mm but maybe with some tighter crops you might get better images?
No1, a close up on the guy in white to the right of the goalkeeper.
No3, again crop much closer, bringing the goalkeeper to the left of frame.

I do like the frame though

1st thing tomorrow, of course their " customer service" closes at 5pm.
I have 5 or 6 other images to print, JP will have to try really hard to keep my business.

Davex.

Decided to get this printed as an acrylic block;




Cost for a 60cm x 40 cm was a very reasionable £83.
It arrived today 7 days after order, colour reproduction is perfect.
Only issue is a 10 mm flaw in the pic , it looks like somebody has creased the photo then tried to straighten it out prior to gluing to the block.
Wonder whatever happened to quality control

Davex.

When did you buy it ?

Like the frog in a box, a lot.
Not seen this technique before.
