From what Chris said further back you get 2 years warranty

As for Sam (thanks for asking) even after nearly 4 weeks in hospital he still isn't right but we are running out of options tbh. He stopped eating properly just over a year ago and would only drink milk (he used to eat and drink just about anything) and completely stopped eating and drinking around January. he lost a third of his body weight in that time and when we got him into hospital he looked like one of those third world kids you see on charity adverts on tv.

Unfortunately he has no understanding of what he is doing to himself and if there is a problem no speech to explain what it is so everything is total guesswork on our part and just getting him to a hospital appointment is a military operation due to how stressed he gets, if anyone crowds him he just loses all control and starts screaming and trying to claw at his face and eyes no matter where he is. (try coping with that in a busy hospital corridor with everyone gawping at you).

Anyway, I could go on for ages but it's not the place and at the end of the day he's worth the time and effort

Enjoy the lens

Hi Chris.

Do you have an end date for the trade in deal on the K-II yet (for those of us that are waiting for a review before deciding in which direction to go) ?

Thanks.

Unusual coloured bugs.

Looks like you are getting good magnification with the lens and tubes but I think your ringflash needs some sort of diffusing as the lighting seems a bit on the harsh side. (same for the other set as well).

I have one I don't use but I had a message from my FA* 250-600mm buyer a couple of days ago saying they would like to buy it. If nothing comes of that I will let you know.

How about £1,389.74?

It's been there for quite a long time, I remember seeing it last year.

Personally I would put the extra and buy the FA* 400mm f5.6 that is advertised on here.

always wanted to run two systems as it makes sense for my shooting so maybe its just time I did it.
I think that's the way I am leaning atm. I have been running 2 systems for years but it's time to stop messing around as I have far too many lenses for each.

Not interested in wide primes but I would lay down a fair chunk for a HD D-FA WR 200mm f/3.5 Macro.

Otherwise I would be more than happy with more affordable/lighter f/4 lenses all the way through with zooms.

16-35mm
24-70mm
70-200mm

Excellent lens, I have one but it's rarely used (I bit like yours presumably)
