What I am after is something like the Canon 40D where you can zoom in 100% and use it as a focus aid for macro.

We agreed on a price before Xmas but as I did not know the seller at all and he didnt know me we had a bit of a problem doing the deal.
Anyway, he had to go to a wedding this week in cornwall and stopped halfway to collect his cash and drop off the lens.
It has a small dust speck which makes no difference but apart from that is mint, I committed myself to it before buying the Pentax A* 300mm f2.8 and teleconverters and couldn't let the seller down after such a long time but at £400 I could probably sell it on fairly easily.
What I was fairly impressed with though was when I tried it with the Sigma EX .4x teleconverter that I use with the 70-200mm f2.8.

Thank you John.
I don't believe they make a larger aperture lens then f/2.8 above the 100mm, I can be wrong though.

Best to do it in the bathroom or similar as there is very little dust in places like that.
I did mine in the shower cubicle.

Can probably use it in manual mode if it has one though.

Yes they do act the same, it is in basically the same flash gun just has jessops name on it.
I didnt think the Jessops flash had P-TTL.
