Silver! Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I got it 2nd hand on eBay. Took and chance on the description "as new" and to be fair it was.IIRC I paid about £200 posted.One listed for £147-ish with free postage from Japan.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canon-EF-28mm-f-2-8-F2-8-AF-Autofocus-Lens-Excellent-/151077988288?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item232cf327c0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Meh £147 is cheap but not when you are saving for CumVAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Petrol and food. Aswell as the rest of the shows this year followed by MOT time That sounds good though, ive never used a 28 myself but seen some snaps about that look awesome. I want a 50mm but coupled with my sensor crop i dont think itd be wide enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Get it right pussy. It was an Asda phone. I didn't use it for 180 days so they cut me off. Lovely persons (caught by my own swear filter! Doh!) robbed me of £3.73! Offered me £5 credit if I took a new phone with them.I always had 2 phones, just swapped my Blackberry for an iPhone 4S. Be rude not to being on a work contract and all that...I'll have to PM you my number. Scrub that; check WhatsApp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I swayed to persuasion and put Toyos on the rear instead of Yoko S-Drives. I think I'm gonna buy 2 S-Drives next payday and put them on as they have a squarer sidewall then the Toyos. Once they are on I will measure for spacers.New Vehicle workshop tech (ex Alfa Technician) at work is happy to help and I have just found out that a colleagues son has a tyre fitting machine. Cheap tyre changing galore!R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
