Kenko do a set as do jessops, but I believe the Kenko ones are available through ebay at stupidly low price of around £80?

I use the jessops ones just because they had them in stock when I needed them. Both sets offer three tubes and maintain all connections in every possible combination.

Well after losing many a fleebay bid on one of these lenses due to people wanting to pay more than they cost, I've finally managed to get my grubby fingers on one!!!

It's a Mk 1 and included a cir pol filter all for £60. A bit heavier than the Mk 2 I borrowed once but still chuffed!

Oh, found it by keeping an eye on local second hand camera shops! If anyone's interested they also have a silver 300D body in for £99. Wish I'd know that before spending £600 on the 350D! lol :lol:

That's gotta be worth spending the £99 and selling it on?
Sure it's a 300D for 99? It's nto a 300V is it?

By all accounts the mk1 is optically the same as the mk11, it's better built though so I reckon you did well there

I'm sure it was a 300D, I could be wrong, but I pretty sure it was.

Yep, pleased with the 50mm. I was very impressed with the one I borrowed and I very happy to have a Mk 1.

Tried it out on a film body, wooo that had a big view finder! I'm sure I had to tilt my head up to look round the full view lol!

Well....I've just got a used Mk1 so thanks for a very interesting thread. I've decided to leave it on the camera for a few weeks to see what it can do.

regards
