I also prefer the original, it has more atmosphere without the processing.

I must admit though when I first saw the title I was quite intrigued by what was in a Froggy cemetary ... will teach me to read slower I suppose.

I have the 16-45mm which I think is an excellent lens but have always wondered the same so when I saw the chance of a cheap(ish) 16-50mm on Ebay I took it.
I will pick up the lens on Thursday when I return to the UK for a couple of days .. will be interesting to make the comparison.

Brand new price from SRS UK ... £889 with 2 year warranty.

3 months ago before the £ plummeted against virtually every currency in existence €850 would probably have been possible but not now.

You may have better luck with € buyers but if I were them I would be purchasing from the UK as well.

Just a bit of advice incase you are looking for a quick sale to cover your Canon purchase.

When I was selling phones it was common for people to pinch my photos and upload them as their own but one time I had someone directly link to my photo which was hosted on Flickr instead of downloading and using Ebay to host it.
As I always kept tabs on the competition and what was selling I quickly found this auction and contacted Ebay who did nothing ... so I replaced the photos with something a little more, shall we say Spicey.

Auction still ran for a few more days before being removed by Ebay

That all changed a few months ago, you don't need to have a confirmed address when sending abroad now, just a trackable method of delivery.

You got a decent price for the 135mm as well.

One thing though, you are taking a chance by not insisting that buyers outside the UK pay for insurance.
They only have to turn round and say they never received the item and put in a claim ... Paypal guarantee insists that you send via a trackable method of delivery otherwise you are not covered.

You did well there, I always worked on 10% .. not that I ever actually sat down and worked it out properly.

I obviously made more than I thought on Ebay.

Less 10% for Ebay and Paypal fees ...

Seems strange, looks like the same buyer for both.

Yes but thats reverse LBA, I have only just got LBA
