Payment via bank transfer or paypal + 3.5%. Postage will be at cost.
Anything unsold will be going on ebay at the weekend.

DA40: Small and compact, very fast focus, very sharp right across (being a pancake).
- no close focusing,

DA35: + Great macro facility, wider FOV, better lens cap etc.,
- not as sharp in the corners as the DA40, much slower focus (due to macro, has more length to travel)

For me I wanted something v.fast and compact, so it was easy for to take the camera out daily. With this lens (DA40), I can slip the whole camera into my laptop bag.

For anything!...I'm on a pre-order anyway.

Spoke to SRS yesterday, and they suggested around 2 weeks. Has anyone any more news than this?

Use this link...seems to work for me

You're right I shouldn't...but in paypal you pay the fee to "receive" the money.

A bit of advice needed....

Just bought a Mint Vivitar 105mm Series 1 Macro from someone in the US for 230GBP inc postage. I say mint - it is (boxed as new with manual and everything)...apart from I've discovered a fault.
The stopdown mechanism jams occasionally - which renders it useless unless you reset it by removing it from the body.

So I can either return it but that incurs postage fees and paypal fees to around £30-40. Or the seller might agree to pay for repair for £80 inc pp.

Any advice? Should I get it repaired or simply return it and wait until a UK one turns up?
