Interesting, as the lens hood comes with the lens as standard. It looks like a cute way of making the headline price look good!

Time to draw a line under this before it gets out of hand. Nobody edited your post but we don't want personalities creeping into this.

Yes Algi, but the donkey carried most of it!

Given that even if the focus indicator is faulty you are still able to focus manually and that you have effectively turned it into an ME Super, it could still be a perfectly viable camera to use.

It had passed by japers45 and I did ask after that for no personal attacks. Attack the argument, not the person.

If we keep mentioning things like this, they come back to the top of the attantion list and niggle people all over again.

I think the appropriate phrase might be Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.

It's all relative. No photographer brought up using metal and glass telephoto lenses and zooms could find the 55-300mm heavy. Try comparing it with a Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm!

Nothing to be sorry about Charlotte, debate is good.

Sometimes of course photographers will quote a very high price for jobs they don't really want - if they should happen to be unlucky and win it anyway, then at least there's some profit to compensate for whatever the perceived inconvenience is!

It's little use though lamenting that a photographer won't offer a particular package - if they don't want to, then so be it. It's presumably not the market segment that they want.

So it's off to somebody else who does want to do that sort of style or package.

As an afterthought, if you switch the camera to AF then you can use "catch in focus" so the shutter will only release when the green hexagon lights, indicating the point of focus. It could help you.

I find live view quite annoying as it zooms in, locks on and then eventually takes the picture. Except in very rare circumstances, give me the pentaprism every time.
