[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 433358, member: 25183"] Won the auction on ebay yesterday, get home today and my neighbour presents me with a parcel containing my 55mm f2.8, I wasn't expecting to get it until some time next week! I haven't had much chance to use it yet but first impressions are that its a great little lens. Easiest lens I've used for manual focusing and you can tell its a quality glass. I'm very happy to have added this to my camera bag, I think using it will teach me a lot, so that when I do come to get a longer modern macro lens it should be a piece of cake. My only slight disappointment, which is not a fault of the lens but of my knowledge, is that it doesn't meter on my wifes F80 SLR.
