Would it have worked better if shot in a graveyard, perhaps with one of those small chapels we often see there in the background?

It's very, very weird and it makes me wonder why Amazon would pay good money to pursue such a patent.

I can't think of any obvious reason.

The lens you bought is actually an excellent performer and I've used several of them over the years.

Second hand ones can suffer from very slack focusing/zooming but that wouldn't affect your camera. The bent aperture lever is probably to blame, preventing the shutter release cycle in some way. You could try straightening the lever, but if that doesn't work a repair would likely be far more than the lens is worth.

Hope that helps!

Please stick to the buying/selling process in Classified Ads and avoid personal comments.

The trouble with that Barrie is that it's just wrong. There has just been an announcement of a whole mass of price reductions....

Just to clear up a point, there has never been any attempt to make up any rule about what the Gallery and the Your Photos section of the forum are for. Just use them as you wish, but use them. If you do that then there will be plenty of pictures to look at an comment on, in both locations.

There's no requirement to register in the UK. As long as you have your invoice then that's all the proof of purchase you need.
