Just bought this... Cheap!

So far Danny, it seems very good, no IS of course so bracing as a technique is back, colour, contrast and sharpness all seem very good, but as with my Fuji X10, it just feels so much nicer to use, build quality lovely, the AF is all but silent too. I really believe they made a mistake in the pricing, all the others were at least £130 - £150!

WOW! Well done :facepalm:

Get out there and get snapping (y)
 
Yeah sounds like it must have been priced up incorrectly. It's a very good lens for the price, do you feel it lacks the IS or can't you really tell?

Danny,

I used one of these years ago with my film Canons for work, so no, personally I don't notice the lack of IS, (it still feels like a luxury to an old boy like me!), just used to lean on something, or rig the camera strap short so it pulls tight and braces against my shoulder, works a treat...

Certainly sounds like you've got a bargain there - I'm not looking for a lens at the moment, but I'd have snapped this up at that price...

Enjoy your new purchase :)
 
Ill have to keep my eye out then. I doubt i'll get one for that price.

As above, enjoy.
 
Always great when you get a bargain - a friend of mine brought an old Nikon film camera at a car boot sale for £5 - the only reason he brought it was the 50mm 1.4 lens that was attached the front - amazing piece of glass!

Happy Snapping
 
Definite bargain.

I paid £99 for mine - mint with hood - and I thought I had got away with it cheap.
