I've taken some more today or various stuff in the garden, but I'll have to wait till tomorrow to download them images/smilies/smile.gif I'm really happy with it. Manual focus is really easy too which helps.

Probably some 50's or 60's model, from some ads of that time.

£310. That's like $600, but only because of the exchange rates. I'd imagine you can get them off eBay.com for about $450-500. The RRP here is £999.99 and the average shop price is £650 so I'd say I got a bit of a bargain images/smilies/smile.gif

Here we go. I didn't have my tripod with me, so the one of the moon's a little shakey (and I also cropped the image as it didn't totally film the frame).

If your using full zoom, you'll need to pump up your shutter speed BIG time to get clear images. If not they'll come out a touch shakey which ruins em. Learn from my mistakes images/smilies/sad.gif
