Some pics of the mongoose taken at Cotswold park..they were ignoring us and concentrating on a peacock that was sitting on the wall to their enclosure,about 3ft from certain death! Laughing

I think these 2 had other things on their mind besides peacocks! Shocked

Expected as much mate, just ordered a Nikon 35-70 f2.8 today for £550. So it'll take a couple of months saving. Laughing

Great link mate, might rethink the lens after all. Laughing

Here's hoping it's simple to cancel a jessops order. Embarassed

Should be ok mate. But consider the other options too..I personally wouldn't go for that particular lens. Again for half the price you could get a tamron 28-75mm 2.8 for £250..great lens with rave reviews.
