You have to hurry up and do it Gwyn, it really is fantastic, Coming down was a bit hair raising as the basket goes over on it's side and gets dragged for ages.

I'll be there (again) our favorite Steampunk band is playing at the Spa on Saturday evening and there will no doubt be plenty of beverages consumed, if anyone sees me on Sunday please talk quietly I'll be the one in a top hat........depending on what I'm wearing.

David: it would be good to catch up but I doubt we'll get down for that time, if you PM me your mobile I'll give you a call and if your anywhere nearby the coffees on me

Welcome to the forum Tim from another Loiner

The 18-55 kit lens produces some good results, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. can't comment on the other as I've never used one.

If it's any consolation Jules I sent mine back to SRS and had it back within the week, it must have spent more time in transit than on the workbench.

That's an interesting theory David, but how do you account for lenses that don't get a lot of use but are perfectly OK, my 50-135 is a prime example (finds wood to touch ) Also what about lenses that have sat in a warehouse or on retailers shelves?

It should have been back yesterday but Parcelforce were late.

Well it's getting dropped at the PO today on it's way back to retailer.

Hoping it's something simple like the AF/MF switch

Thanks guys. They seem glue to me. You were right about no issues on cropped sensor but I have no K1 to try with, so hopefully no issue on full frame as well.
I think if you can afford a K1 you can afford a better copy of that lens

That's an excellent example of the flattening effect that telephotos have Richard, if you looked at the first and last images side by side you'd be forgiven for thinking they were sisters rather than the same girl.
