Lens prices

I take your point Roger and Nick - esp the bit on the soft furnishings - my good lady keeps leaving brochures around on new sofas - but Im sure a macro lens is far more comfortable and healthier as it encourages you to get out and about! BEsides any spare cash i do have is needed for rodent control; mice in the kitchen ceiling in January, a squirrel ripping up the attic in February that i tried to catch for nearlly a month before discovering I was using the erong sort of mammal trap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKUFfmDfBDI) and now a rat that i cant get to in the hall ceiling! Perhaps its the fear of the word Grey as per Grey Import, Grey Squirrels etc!

Re: The women in our lives....
who of course are complete angels for putting up with people like us (Well I speak for myself..!)

I got my photographic kit last year; I thought living with a photographer she would understand the need ...
...and she did! (I have just finished paying for the new bed which she decided we needed as well....!)

Good luck Mark

New bed? WIth all that new kit how are you going to find time to use it!

I had a funny response from another UK based company selling the macro lens - I asked about if their lens was legitimate UK stock and not grey import and their response was - yes it is UK stock - and it comes with english manual, 12 month warranty and - wait for the good bit - it is fully fitted with a 3 pin power plug - this I have to see!!!!!
