I'd love the name of the service agent thanks Fresh Coffee. Moreover, I reckon you could print it the thread as we're badly going to run off and buy grinders, tampers and beans from them.... Or will we As I'm pretty regularly the on mod on duty here (light workload) I am want to play fast and loose with the rules when It sums me :stir :rofl: I've had a lens repaired in Sydney by Nikon. It was a glorious example of the 35-70F2.8 Macro. These generally suffer from hazing on internal elements at this age due to a widely established manufacturing issue with the oils used causing mould/hazing. The lens came back like new but you know, it never really shot as clean. Especially when you subject the poor thing to a 36mp sensor at a stupidly high ISO. Remember, I shoot in low light much of the time! I sold it on and bought the 24-120F4 which is so good it's boring. Because of the stabilisation it's brilliant in low-light but the bokeh is less arty. I was leaning towards the 16-35F4 but it too is to good. I'll stick with my 20mmF2.8 until I can afford and then justify the 14-24F2.8. Expect an update on that puppy on the fourth of never... I've no use for that wide.... sadly.
