I picked one up at a boot sale last Sunday, it came with a free Zenit TTL. Lens looked like new, I was rather pleased. :D Not getting rid of the 56 anytime soon mind you but the 58 will be staying with me a while too.

Probably because his name is Simon? :p

I've had two 35's... Both crap. In comparison to the 23mm the 35mm is poor. Noisy, slower, not as sharp, especially wide open. Fuji's newer lenses are a step up compared to the older ones. Their zooms are simply superb. Well, the 50-140mm was. From what i have seen and read the 16-55 is one of the sharpest lenses they do.. Expensive and heavy though by comparison.

Chris old age comes to us all, you can call me what you want, as long as it's not too early. :D

David knows my name by now, but for todays history lesson, people from Swansea are called Jacks, hence my user name Swanseajack, bit like Cockneys and Geordies etc............

Some stories claim the name "Jack" to originate from a Black Retriever dog named Jack who saved lives in the sea and river in the City, and theres another reason mentioned as is to do with Swansea Sailors who where skilled Mariners.
