Good set

I have been looking into purchasing this lens myself.
It is a fantastic lens, Stub get one immediately from SRS before the prices go up.

Think all your questions will be answered here
Careful Jules, you are starting to get a buying reputation second only to Mike-P.

Tokina 500mm F8 mirror lens.
Comes with case and strap(unwrapped) Lens hood and filters.
The case is unmarked, the lens itself is in very fine condition.
There are some specs of mirror dust on the outside glass, see pic.
They do not affect the IQ.
Focus is smooth, filters and filter tool in original holder.
Think £65 delivered in the UK is fair.
It will be going to ebay on Friday if no interest here.

For me the sepia version, the colour and B+Ws all suffer from the large areas of black where the shutters on the left hand side are, while still there the general sepia look makes this less distracting.
I can imagine a large sepia print looking quite good on the wall, but perhaps slightly darken the highlights behind the arch above the bar.

As usual I find myself at odds with the criticism , For me No7 is by far the most interesting image, the darkness of the building is really set off by the stars, the only niggles are the red dot, half way across and a third up, and the white dot 45degree up to the left of the top right window.
Apart from those I can see this as a large print in a slightly dark hallway. It has great atmosphere.

18 days to go.
a week on the coast with my 12-24, DFA 100 macro, and sigma 24-70f2.8 and filters.
Then 2 weeks with the animals; siggy 400mm f5.6 and siggy 150-500 hsm os and DA 55-300 + 1.7x teleconvertor.
My camera bag will probably weigh more than the hold luggage .

That really is a pity.
I was just starting to warm to the idea of getting one.Think I shall wait awhile yet.
Mike, perhaps your problems actually demonstrate just how good the K5 is? After all with a lesser camera am sure you would have thrown in the towel by now.
