I drove over to Fife where Kerso is and picked it up myself as it's only approx 40 minute drive away from me. Saved myself a few quid on postage fees etc and probably cost about a fiver or less in deisel.

Hopefully get something tomorrow, the shots I have taken just now are mostly underexposed taken from my back door, having said that the weather is very dull & rainy here just now and probably me using wrong settings. I did'nt realise it was so bulbous :gag: but it deems pretty well balanced weightwise with the 40D

I've found the push pull method ok up to now, I like the ring where you can adjust the tension of the push/pull. I find If I'm near the FL that I want I can just push it a fraction with my forefinger on the underside of the lens and can adjust it there without moving ther lens too much. Finger is not quite long enough to pull it back though :) I find the lens moves more when twisting the ring type to zoom.

Hwy Witch you know that L glass buzz never goes away don't you? No matter how many you buy - you just got to get another one - and another one. I am currently considering a 70-200L but I might need to get it as a package with a divorce :-)
