If you manage to pick up a cheap lens (SMC-Pentax A 50mm F1.4 goes for about £60 on ebay but is manual focus) you could spend the change on Noise Ninja to help reduce the digital noise from using a high ISO.
Good luck. Kris.

I love this shot too but I'd be tempted to crop/clone out the person in the red coat and crop off a little of the gravel path at the front.
Best wishes, Kris.

I ordered one from Jessops. Seven months later I gave up and got one over the counter in NYC...

Very nice photo, lots of detail and great light. I really like it. As Clarky said, well deserved.
Best wishes, Kris.

That explains why most of the second hand stuff one sees in dealers windows is 10 to 20% more than you can get it on ebay if you are careful/lucky. But, of course, you get the chance to look it over properly etc.In an auction a dealer should never be able to outbid a private buyer as he has to resell with a margin unless of course he's a rubbish businessman.

The main thing with ebay is that with most stuff, including the 40mm, there will be another one along next week. Patience is the name of the game.

I really like the first shot, shame about the annoying little ?flag pole at the bottom. The last one made me laugh! Good stuff.
Cheers, Kris.

But then you might pick up the 40mm and then can junk/pass on/sell the multiplier.
That's what I was going to do but it seems that others have the same idea, might up my bid at the last minute,but I'm not going to go crazy!But then you might pick up the 40mm and then can junk/pass on/sell the multiplier.
