Just a quick plug for Richard (loskeran).

Just like to point out that I & others have dealt with Richard & it was a thoroughly pleasant experience. Totally trustworthy & a nice guy to chat with to boot. Just incase anyone was wary of buying from some "geezer off the net" !

It's not often you see these come up on the used market & for good reason. I love mine !

It has alot of fans. Be aware though that Sigma have announced the release of a 10-20mm f3.5 constant. Which will undoubtedly be heavier, larger & more costly but could be worth hanging on for.

Great idea & the end result is very nice indeed.

You may have a totally level camera & your photo can still look off to the eye. Usually due to the lie of the land. Unless you're shooting out to sea of course !

I use a spirit level when using a tripod, just to get it near. Final adjustments then done through the viewfinder.

Or if you must have autofocus the FA 50mm f1.4 has got to be the best value for money.
You've got the range at the moment so why not check which focal lens is best for you, 50mm should be good for portraits but can be slightly too long when space is at a premium.
As for the wider end I couldn't comment on the 21mm but I've recently bought a 2nd hand DA 14mm, I haven't had chance to really put it through its paces but initial impressions are very good.

If you go more toward the rh side of the frame the cursor changes to "next" I've noticed. You can browse at own pace then.

My 10-17mm came with a pouch Hyram, didn't yours ?

Jon, I can't see the dilemma. You'd be making a profit but that's nothing to be ashamed of. You'd still be offering it at a good price & in good condition.

I wouldn't package the 2 together for a sale as I don't think you'd get the going price then. It's unlikely you'll find 2 bidders who really want both lenses, so you'll attract bidders who'll want to sell the lesser value lens onwards & as such will factor in the loss on postage & fees etc.

Mike, mine didn't include a pouch when I bought it brand new. But I can't say if there should be one or not.

Yes post it up here if you're selling. A private arrangement on here doesn't line ebay & paypals pockets. Just for info, I sold at £375 all-in. You may get over £400 on ebay but you'll give ebay £40 & paypal a tenner or more so why not sell here ? more money in both parties pockets.
