Lol! Owe me nothing- don't be silly ;-) Although if you must, please choose an item from my wishlist (the someday affordable version, not the sell my guitar then sell a kidney and beg them for a discount version):
1. AF 1.7x Converter (I sold my first one.. to finance other things..) 2. DA 14-65 3. Sigma 70 200 2.8 4. some Singh Ray ND grads and a Cokin P system 5. Sigma 1.4x teleconverter (stack stack stack and behold the sea of tranquility..) 6. D FA 100 2.8 Macro 7. Manfrotto carbon fibre monopod (haven't even begun to browse models yet) 8. A VHS or DVD (PAL) of the 1985 Gregory Hines/ Mikhail Baryshnikov movie "White Nights" Although.. if for some reason Sigma chooses to recall my 28-70 2.8 for focusing problems with the ist D (been talking with someone with a similar problem, who's been talking with other someones with similar problems- regarding the ist D shooting in AV at 2.8 with this lens not changing focus points when changing aperture? I'm still trying to get my head around it..) and pays me the AUD950 I paid for it back then, I'd be tempted to have a play with the Maxxum 7D.. Oh where was I.. Rightio..3 months with CR Kennedy??? Oh no. Sounds like it must have been a nightmare.. so did they fix it in the end? Now I'm a bit worried- my poor ist D must be feeling so homesick..
