Yes, the non-DI version. I find it very nice to use in AF or MF. I would say it is very sharp with quite pleasant bokeh also.

Amin, post is fine,

Good judging, Daniel's train shot is superb. Some interesting entries all round as well.

Thanks for the comments Darkmunk.

I really like number 2, I bet it would look fantastic printed out A3 and framed in my kitchen!

Please share your pp secrets, what did you do?

Here's a couple of shots of crumbling industry in Northwich:










C&C would be appreciated as always

Believe me there is some movement hidden in here!

I bought a very good condition (without box) F17-28 from London Camera Exchange last year for £99. I used it for a bit, liked the fisheye effect and decided to sell it and buy a 10-17. I got about £150 on ebay for the 17-28, there was loads of interest in it.

I may be wrong but think a lot of interest was from full frame Canon/Nikon users that were hoping to use it with some sort of adapter and get a full frame zoom fisheye which I don't think the other manufactures make.

I have bought and sold various items and my philosophy is unless the buyer and seller agree on a mutually acceptable price no sale will take place. To me, how you arrive at that price is irrelevant and nobody is forcing people to buy items with 'offers over'. Maybe time will tell and if 'offers over' items don't sell people may stop using them. A ballpark indication gives a starting point but I don't see a difference between working up or down from it.

When selling I am inclined to take into account other factors so a lower offer where someone is able to come and look at the item, try it out and pay cash might take preference over a higher offer paying by palpal and sending an item halfway round the world.

I have a virtually unused pentax V2 one I'd be happy to entertain offers on. Would you be interested?
