How did you find the Samyang 135mm? Been hankering after a 135mm lens since selling my manual Carl Zeiss which I used with a Contax RX and can’t justify the Sony GM cost on the amount I’d use it. Reviews seem very good but are you then down to “getting a good one” which people mention about...

Try a quote from Home Protect as the question they ask you is something along the lines of “has the property suffered any subsidence in the last 25 years?” You can then honestly say “no” Very good cover and decently priced and often have some wriggle room on renewal.

It‘s not Fujidave’s conviction you need it’s his healthy looking bank balance you need (maybe not looking so healthy this week mind).

The F-Pace SVR is a very lovely car but I’d reckon the first year depreciation on that is around 15k. How much camera gear could you get for that?

The wonderful Lark Lane, my sister has the Fallen Angel Tattoo studio on there - never a dull moment!!!

Looks better on my MacBook than on here (that old chestnut!!!). Dull day down on the beach.

Not everyone’s preferred method of purchasing but it’s on at £949 at E-Infinty although not currently in stock and they do have a habit of increasing prices when they finally do get stock back in.

Are we still talking camera equipment here? ;)

You sound like my kids and wife - you’d be correct though :D

Yep but there’s still the connection to your brain which I think is the faulty part with me, or just the brain :cool:

Have done a quick decentering test and to my eye all the corners appear the same. Hopefully have more time over the next few days to test the optics a lot more. Unfortunately they can’t FW update my eyes either which may be the biggest problem these days :ROFLMAO:

Possibly looking at an old page, it was very late last night :oops: :$ As long as it’s all up to date (y)

Checked on Samyang website and the last firmware available to download is version 2 which is the one improving autofocus so presumably version 3 a very recent upgrade.

It’s running version 3, is this the latest one? Based on my check earlier decentering doesn’t seem to be an issue so all good on that front.

Well the Samyang 45mm has just turned up (Not grey ;)) Boy is it tiny and light. Just need to break away from work to check whether it’s one of those decentered specials or not
