The son of a friend of mine does motocross and bought his bike over to Spain for a couple of weeks so he could have a go on the Spanish circuits. They invited me along to the practice session so I thought it would be a good workout of the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 I won on Ebay a few weeks ago.

A small selection.

Well I was sitting here with the dog this morning when I got a call from the wife back in the UK to say the electric went off at 5am and will probably not be back until late tonight/tomorrow.
She phone her auntie round the corner and asked her to bring some matches round so that she could light the gas cooker and rings for some heat which she did and then while her back was turned my son put the whole kitchen size box onto the burner and set fire to it.

On the plus side, at least we know the smoke alarms work ok.

I bought a set of "A" contact macro tubes along with a Pentax-F 50mm f1.7 the other week for £30 so who knows.
I would have taken a punt on the first auction as there were only 2 but now that he has added another 5 I'm going to pass.

I must admit to wondering why he is pricing so low if it is a scam though, yes £16 is a disposable amount to most people so they will have a go but many many more will be suspicious whereas if he priced around £60 he would probably sell more.

Im presuming there has been some extra processing in there but even so, I really like them.
Nicely done.

The fact they will not answer a question through Ebay but will if you use their email address rings alarm bells.
Nothing in the Ebay system if it all goes pear shaped.

Still ...
