    Erp.. chances are if you want it from a local shop in Cork you'll have to pre-order it, wait at least a week and then go in & collect it. The idea of keeping stuff in stock is lost on all the camera shops in Cork.

    Or I could sell you mine and use that as incentive to get the 50 1.4 :D

    New lens arrived today from Scotland. Perfect!

    Very exciting:D Thanks for all your advice / links folks!

    Have to say, found the whole e-bay experience with Kerso both a doddle and a pleasure. I'd order again.

    Typical though, it' bucketing down outside so I can't even get out and about tonight to play with it:(
