I'm just gearing up with Lee filters and wondered if anyone had a 67mm Wide angle adaptor they would consider selling?

Thanks

Simon

I'm selling an almost new Vivitar AF 100mm F3.5 Macro (1:1) lens. I bought this brand new from a dealer just last November to give macro photography a try but decided it's not really for me.

Lens is mint condition with all original packaging and the close up lens that makes it 1:1 macro with no loss of IQ that I can see - it's an excellent low-budget macro lens

Asking £85 including postage

Payment by Paypal Gift please

Definitely looking forward to getting some shots with it,

I actually bought it from Kerso, has a very good reputation amongst "C" owners in particular - to be fair he told me yesterday prices were going up today, so I bought it yesterday for £399 new and today he's now selling it for £469 so the price rises are definitely going through all retailers

As some of you know I've been deliberating over the DA15mm for some time, I already own the Da12-24 which made the decision more difficult.

After looking at several shots from the lens I'm happy that it produces excellent shots, another reason for my purchase is that there is an argument that using a prime lens improves your landscape photographs by making you think more about composition - Joe Cornish says so anyway so that's good enough for me!! Time will tell.

Another reason for the purchase too is that the price rises look to be coming through and at £399 it already looked a bit of a bargain to me!!

The DA12-24 is an excellent lens but I did find it a bit on the large side for street photography on a recent holiday, it does attract peoples attention, I'm hoping the DA15 will be ideal for this use in future

Well I've been deliberating about buying the DA15mm Ltd for some time now and this is just the "nudge" I need, just placed my order before prices rise If it's a marketing gimmick then it certainly worked on me

Looks like the loophole has been closed now regarding the Channel Island importers not charging VAT, just looked at the 7 Day shop website for printer ink prices and they've gone from £8.99 to £12.75

Having been on the workshop with Joe Cornish last week he convinced me that I needed to upgrade my filters to Lee...

Does anyone know if the standard adaptor is ok on the DA17-70 or will I need the WA version to avoid any vignetting

Thanks

Simon
