The pictures looks excellent Howard, I'm not sure how much is down to the new lens and how much to your talent however . Still, it looks like something you'll get a lot of use out of.

A 35% discount on a well regarded Zoom lens looks very tempting @Mestari. I can see why you might succumb. There's not a lot of long Zoom choice in the APS-C range and this is a good option.

And I have fallen victim to a discount on a 70-350G for my a6400. Not a perfect copy but maybe I have too high expectations, so it stayed. It failed the "brick wall" test, but is doing well in real life. Relatively cheap, light and great reach. Good for good light conditions, would be horrible when it is dark. For a 35% discount, I can live with that ;)

Not for nearly a year and then it was DJI stuff. The thing is, as soon as I saw the discount I started rummaging around for other offers, but with no luck. Just the one, for a lens I've wanted. I guess it was the cookies in my browser that might be responsible ... I blame the beer myself

I'm still waiting dispatch.

@hezu - the 300mm is one of the lenses I have on my wish list. Still too expensive, but I can dream.

It is also, 600 days since my last lens purchase

I had been eyeing the E 10-20mm f4 G PZ for sometime and last night, back after a drink with some photographer friends, WEX offered me a 10% discount on a used example in v.g.c. sans lens hood. How did they know I'd be susceptible?

And I'm still holding out on any new lens purchases.
595 days without adding anything new to my lens line up.

(Let's not talk about the 960GB Prograde CFExpress Card A however)
