That Zeiss stuff does look awesome, but i need a lens that is a little more practical. I love my 50mm 1.4, but i doubt i would use it so much if it only had MF. I dont do a huge amount of landscape so AF is usually needed, especially as this is the lens that is usually left on the camera and it needs to react quickly when being pulled out for a shot.

=Matt 'Photog' Peters;9495925]How much? Lol ..

Yes Elliott does have Zeiss!

Then I need to speak to him, try it out. :)

Ideally I just want about £130 for it. Should still have the box, manual, case and stand.

Today is manic, need to do the road tax. No log book still!

Called DVLA, car is not registered to anyone so I have to get two forms and have to goto the DVLA office and sort it out.

I might be interested .. Is it a mk2?

That is a proper pain to sort out with a car being unregistered, friend of mine had the same problem .. Someone actually try'd to register the car in their name without him knowing!

@ Rob
Yeah I want to use it more for candids, portraits etc where AF might not be needed.

@ Matt
Just the mkI. Yeah I just want to get it sorted out. Ive got all the docs written, just need to add the VIN, get insurance fax from More Than THEN if there is not MOT doc, get that done also. Such a PITA!

I could be tempted, I'll see how I get on with the two to start with! :cool:

Need some decent rechargable batteries and maybe a good charger too, where is good to buy from?

Eneloops are great batteries. I have dozens of them!!

I think I got mine from 7dayshop - be sure to grab some cheap battery cases too.

Phew. Just had another quick go. Now down to 1:04.065. I also had a 1:03.844, but that was a dirty lap (with a rewind, so I know it's possible).

Steve. It looks as though you're running too much power and not enough grip. This circuit's all about taking turns quickly and the top speed doesn't get much above 80. For your tuning, look at grip/handling first and less about raw power. An AWD conversion helps a great deal.

I've heard of those. I might have to invest in some, my usual rechargeable batteries take ages to recycle the flash after a few goes.

Good run.
