It's true... although it didn't look as bad as I expected on the K2. Pity my focus screen is out of alignment but most of the pics I'm taking here are focussed on inifinity with the 35mm. > Mind you, a 90mm F2.8 for GBP400 got him going again, har har. Oh yes, its NZ$1800 back home, in fact they're probably over $2000 now as my last price is getting a bit old. At least I did spend some money there, but only a little. I resisted buying a 24-35 zoom and a 1.7x TC and even a 35mm f/2.0. I bought some cheap Reala, spent all of about 35 pounds :) Had another play with an MZ-S but I'd need to sit down with the manual to really figure it out. I am too used to the Z-1p. > PS. He likes our train system - yes, really. Go to NZ and you'll find out what a bad train system is like. In fact there is no passenger train service south of Christchurch now except a trip for the tourists in Dunedin. There is no commuter rail south of Wellington. Then he wrote today: > Gone - Arsat 300mm F2.8. Gone - Helios 85mm F1.5. Gone - Cokin Creative flash. And it wasn't even me who bought them. That Helios lens is a real tank. I guess you can't remount the Arsat now, just think of all the time, effort and broken AF 1.7x adaptors that you've been saved from. Now are you sure you want to sell that MZ-S? :) When in London yesterday I thought I could have used one of your 24-35 zooms. Got a bit tired of swapping primes. But I couldn't bear to think of not using my SMCP 35/3.5, unless I was using a 31 Limited of course. Didn't have time to hunt down any other camera shops but most shops seem to be closed on Sundays anyway. Will return to London later.
