Hong Kong prices usually appear to be very good at first. Check the small print for delivery charges. There could be duty and/or VAT to pay on imported items.
Might I suggest that cheating HM Customs out of duty and/or VAT is perhaps not the best course of action for somebody wishing to have a career in the police force.
Regards,

I also swap batteries between body and grip between uses/charges to maintain an even amount of use of each battery.

Ok… I have taken a small considered risk and bought the 21mm f/3.2. Thanks for the 'heads up' SMC!
I feel the same way about sellers who can't string sentences together and have poor spelling etc. but this seller has got respectable/acceptable feedback, plus the fact that I want to try this lens out for myself and the fact that my finger started getting itchy when it hovered over the 'BIN' button.
I will keep this thread updated with any future joy/sorrow that results from this (slightly) impetuous purchase

If you can supply the complete model number, others may contribute but the different versions have different capabilities. For instance, mine has the macro facility, but only at 300mm. Other versions can be used in macro mode between 200-300mm.

No, that's probably not a good idea.

No offence intended at all - I'm genuinely trying to understand what people like about photographs like that.
I much prefer the more 'normal' rectilinear perspective of the DA12-24mm lens.

Shot 2: Confusing. If orphaned from shot 1, it'd take too long to figure out what it was a picture of.
