£300 for the lens FWIW.  PM me if you want further details.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

This last month has been somewhat big in terms of photography associated purchases; bought my first DSLR  :smiley:

:. S/H Canon D60 body (low actuations)
:. Canon 75-300mm USM lens (as new)
:. Canon 35-80mm lens (cheap but lightweight)
:. Sigma 28-300mm lens (requires refurbishment; growth inside lens, but it was free)  :sad:
:. Tripod
:. Remote shutter release
:. Spare battery pack
:. Lovely new camera backpack, KATA DR465i (highly recommended, will hold body w/lens, plus 4 further lenses in lower section; upper section for accessories, food, rain jacket etc)

Now all I need is a good prime lens, such the 50mm prime. Perhaps flogging the Sigma to CEX who offered me £65 cash is a start!

DH which wide-angle attachment are you referring to?

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Is that the Kata backpack that was half price on warehouse express. I bought one and it's amazing!

That was the 467, mine is the 465, IIRC yours has a laptop compartment? I think thats the only difference. TBH I only bought it as you recommended the 467.

So. Impressed.  :cool: (except my tripod wont fit on the side)

Yeah mine has the laptop compartment, just today i was using the bag and found another compartment! Don't think I'll outgrow this for a while. Also you can buy a trolley for it to be mounted on, if you're real lazy!
