SU Sure of course, I was looking specifically for the vII version of the lens over the v1 and used priced prices for a good one seem to over £200. I actually looked at the usual spots (MPB, WEX etc and then Ebay) but then though to check Amazon and there was a seller on the there selling one...

Ah that's superb to hear as I'm looking at a present for my wife and Panamoz are the same price new as some of the used kit I'm looking at.

I use both Saily and GlobalYo for my travels depending on where I'm going. Never had an issue with either, just turn notifications off with GlobalYo though as it spams 3-4 alerts per day.

Does anyone ever get lumped with import charges from them?

Well another night sat in my garden with a bottle whiskey and my iPad and today another lens turns up. Really should give up the booze :D

Same with WEX. They wanted to mark a lens down last week by £40 because of moisture, got it back and to no surprise there is zero moisture. To be fair though they did offer me exactly as quoted on the rest of my kit but I suspect the warehouse where products are stored and inspection rooms have...

I just sold my entire Sony FF setup to WEX and have gone all in M4/3...got sick of the bulk and weight tbh. Told myself I only needed 3 lenses and I'm already 6, damn browsing in the garden with a bottle of whiskey! :D These latest 2 arrived yesterday!

I agree that it looks like separation, haze generally doesn't appear like that imo.

I had something similar on my old Rolio a few years ago, unfortunately while it was deemed repairable by a local shop, the cost extremely prohibitive because of the parts. They dont exist basically and would either had to have been custom made or aquired from a donor camera. There is then the...

My G9 is on firmware 2.4, is it worth updating to 2.7? The panny change list only states one line and its not something I care about.

I actually got the 100-300mm for now as generally only break out the tele's on rare occasions. I got the 12-60mm f2.8-4 and 75mm f1.8 and will add a UWA in the coming weeks.

Well as a long term dweller here and not posting in a while I've just dropped my entire FF Sony gear and jumped in the M4/3's with the G9 and a range of lenses. Not had the chance to really stretch its legs yet but will in the next couple of days. Have to say the though that I bought the Oly...

Thats great news thanks for the info. The reason I thought it didnt work is only what Ive read somewhere a couple of days ago which is clearly wrong by the sounds of it and which had stated that the old Mintola AF lenses wouldnt work. I was actually thinking of getting the LA-EA5 anyway for...

Well I've recently upgraded to an A7 IV but its somewhat been soured by the fact that the it doesnt support the LA-EA4 adaptor. I've got a massive stack of old Minolta lenses that worked perfectly fine on my old A7c and rendered beautiful images but for some reason Sony has omitted this from...

Yeah I live in Worksop so only 20-25 mins away.
