This bad boy slipped thru my letterbox today, and the seller was right, its mint. Original hard case and original brochure supplied too

Had a quick preliminary shoot to check it over out of my rather filthy balcony window ( too cold to open it, so shot thru the dirt :cool:

All pics were ISO 800 as its incredibly dull again today - Britian at its finest. All Spot Metered, all @ F4, all hand held

All had Zero PP in RAW.
All opened in ACR then immediately exported to CS5. Zero PP in CS5. Full pics were simply resized for forum, 100% crops were taken from original size

What made you sell yours ?


I was really surprised at the IQ wide open, as many lenses, even top lenses, can be soft until you at least stop down 1

The sharpness is fabulous, as borne out by the last photo, the top right hand text in the last 100% crop " No Drugs are .... " etc Those words are tiny when viewed
from my window, as can be seen in the first photo. This medical unit is 128ft away, measured on google earth
