£350 incl postage, and a little bump, really is spotless. No issues at all.

£350 is the px price that srs offered for this.

Incoming call yesterday afternoon: cancellation, so slot available first thing this morning.

Up at 05:30 to clear snow from car, shovel snow off front of drive. In for surgery by 08:30 and sent home by 14:30.

Sore but glad it's done. Four weeks on the sick.....I feel boredom coming on fast.
Wish you a speedy recovery

I never thought of looking at the weight of it.

For a while. £560 I think it went for. From Japan though. So I wonder what the tax/duty would have been.
The proposed f4 version might be sweet if the optics are as excellent as you'd expect.
You never know Derek, I might put mine up for sale again - it's too heavy for most photo trips, and probably not as good as the D-FA* equivalent
Bad bad man

I'm not adverse to flipping an image if it works better, but I wouldn't flip this one.
Might be just me but I prefer the unflipped one.

I prefer the original 'top' image, although in this case they both work as the bottom one could have been taken from the other side of the gate.

Composition is such a personal thing, but the best book I've seen on it is 'The Image' by Michael Freeman.
It must be personal, as I prefer the second. If it was determined subconsciously would we all pick the same?
Just to make things more complicated, could it also depend on which one you see first?

Or even, how recently you read a book on composition?
I've never read one, would that not mess up the results

Can you set up a poll for this one ?

I'm right handed and right eye dominant and I prefer the first.

Just thought that with the protection of buying from Amazon and at close to half price, it might have been of interest.
It's not for me, as much as I'd love to have it.
