Pretty good price from CEX considering they give a long warranty (2 years I believe)

Not sure it's the SDM though, the lens normally stops focusing completely doesn't it? I reckon this has had a knock or similar while closed at 60mm.

Is yours the flock finish or the shiny plastic?

I used to have a Canon 100-400 f/5.6 which was weather sealed, it's nickname on canon forums is the dust pump.

I'm pretty sure you will always get some dust in a large zoom lens , by it's very nature it can't be 100% sealed as it has to move air through itself when moving back and forward.

At the moment, it seems that nobody knows what is going on with the shipments from UK to the Croatia. I ordered two Super Mario hats for my kids 4 weeks ago, they have not yet arrived.

Hi LennyBloke and and Mike_P my tuppence worth , there is definitely a difference which is evident in the Gold sweet both left and right of the centre red sweet. they both contain more detail (to my ageing eyes) i put on my best focals and studied both images .
As for the file size, I was wondering about the final .jpeg

Usual walk down to the paper shop so I took my K1 + 150-450mm in the hope of catching the kingfisher again, but an egret was there instead. But better still as the mud was frozen I walked back along the river path and spotted this chap sunning himself on the opposite bank at 10.00 in the morning; he spotted me at the same time so I just had time for a couple of hasty shots before he sauntered off.
Very jealous, have managed to get a lot of decent Kingfisher and Egret shots in my time but never a fox.
