Nope; they're all still available if you're interested.

Pre-weekend bump. Open to reasonable offers.

Or is it 50mm = 50mm = 50mm, whatever the crop factor?

This is correct as I understand it. With a cropped sensor you get the central part of the full-frame image, so any distortion visible in the central region of the full frame image will present in the image captured by the cropped sensor.

I've got stuck in a bit of a rut with Goths and Wildlife

That's not something you hear every day!

I've got a couple, but nothing too ambitious:

- Shoot some more MF film and have a go at developing/printing it myself.
- Finish rationalising my lens collection and convert some of my excess gear into a nice headphone amp.

I'd like an A*85/1.4 and an A*135/1.8. Not very likely to end up in my camera bag, given their rarity and price, but it would be good to have a go with either.

An APS-C tilt/shift option would be nice, too.

That's a relief, I was beginning to worry! Glad to hear it got there OK.

I'm having a clear out of some of my lenses to make space and raise funds for my next round of LBA.

For sale is my M50/1.4. It's in excellent condition, although not quite mint as it has one or two specks of internal dust and externally shows signs of careful use. The optics are in good shape, with no scratches, marks or fungus (the dust mentioned previously is normal for a lens of the age and nothing that would affect the pictures). Cosmetically it's in excellent condition, as shown in the pictures.

It is supplied with the original front and rear caps. Although I don't normally use them, I'd be happy to include a UV filter as well if you'd like one.

Looking at the going rate on eBay, I think that £70 delivered within the UK is reasonable and I'd be happy to investigate postage options to send it further afield if required. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal (with the buyer covering the fees) please.
