Final drop - £425.

trend seems to be going back to one card....Nikon did that with the D7*00 series.

bump - still for sale - offer of £375 declined. Also reluctant to send abroad,

Amazing lens - don't use mine enough....

Delightful, great use of flash too. I notice that more and more a brief burst doesn't actually bother some species.

Jason didn't say which teleconverter he'd get - if he is after the Tamron PZ 1.5 then that 's a full-frame version and some variants have the PKAF2 contacts for SDM/Powerzoom.

I had the 55-300 briefly while the DA*60-250 was getting its' new motor - I was so glad to get the DA* back to be honest. I can't remember how the DA55-300 looks at the camera end but the DA* doesn't vignette noticeably; I wonder if the angle of view on the DA at 300 mm is such that the crop doesn't impact on the image and the camera can be used in FF mode. Then you can crop, effectively getting more megapixels than adjusting the camera to crop (16MP) mode,

still available.

IloveSaabs was on holiday - the lens has been available a few months now and I think I can be excused a few days away from my computer...

I did intend on taking the lens to Prague, but in the end took the FA*80-200 2.8, in the end I would've preferred the versatility of the DA*

I travel on the A316 every day, and often get petrol at the Shell station in Sunbury... Gits just put on 3p/litre on UL, thanks Donald.

Top work!
