What about a Billingham shoulder bag? They come in various sizes, and include ones with zipped compartments for laptop or ipad. You can buy a number of extra pouches that you can detach when not needed and flexible inserts that can be arranged to accommodate your kit in whatever configuration. It is waterproof canvas so doesn't look like you are a tourist carrying lots of expensive camera gear. The inserts can be removed completely and you have a general purpose comfortable canvas shoulder bag. I believe you can also get an accessory for some models that allow them to be carried like a rucsack. These bags are extremely durable, you can still find people selling secondhand ones that they've had for decades that, apart from being "broken in" (i.e. scruffy) still have fully working zips and fasteners.

Anyway I think mine is great, as you can probably tell. Expensive though..

Bump!

Hello Matt,
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the offer but it's lower than I would consider at the moment.

For sale is my DA* 60-250mm. I bought it secondhand a few months ago but can't justify having both this lens and my Sigma 70-200mm F2.8. I've decided to keep the Sigma with its larger aperture for now, although I'm considering switching to a DA* 200mm f2.8.

Anyway, the lens is in excellent cosmetic and optical condition - no scratches, fungus or other blemishes on the lens elements. There are no SDM AF problems.

Includes front and rear caps and hood in excellent condition. Not boxed and no pouch.

Looking for £700 including RMSD. Paypal or Bank Transfer.

Yes, I saw it and was also intrigued by the image stabiliser device. I suspect it is more advanced / capable than in-lens stabilisation because he said it had two gyroscopes inside. I noted he only used it when the light was failing and I guess shutter speeds and/or lens OS weren't able to freeze the motion and vibrations from the helicoppter

They got some great pictures I thought. The helicopter looked comfy but not sure I'd even be able to afford buzzing around in a microlight to get pictures like that but would love to try.

Great to see that you're already having fun with the lens.

Cheers,
Roy

Payment received. Thanks Will.

Sold to Will (redsocks) subject to payment.

Payment received. Lens now sold.

Thank you to those pointing out the bargain pricing. The lens, however, is still for sale.

I will accept PayPal and I'll pick up the seller's fees if you feel you need for greater buyer protection than with bank transfer, though I have always had positive feedback on the few lenses I've sold here previously.
