That would be just under 600 quid to you Hamish

Hey, I recognize that building!

That's a nice lens you found there, sir. Alas, it's missing the tilt/shift dials

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I'll ponder that as I shoot away at f1.4 in the dark

 

[Darren Bradley]

I shoot in the dark all the time... at f10 !

 

[Tim Pindar]

Nice find Chris! You'll need a new bag soon - or a suitcase on wheels!
