Re: D*MNIT!!!!! A bargain hunter misses out.
Almost forgot to reply to this one.. sorry! Nenad, I'm in Brissie. Same country but I think the flight over from Perth is about as long as Perth-Singapore. I've been to Perth a couple of times and quite like it; the place has a good feel to it. Remember one night a friend and I put on skates at around midnight and did a big loop of the river, starting at Coco's (opposite the city side. Good food, incidentally..). It got pretty dark around the side with the casino, but luckily the dodgy sorts left us alone. Didn't have anything but a point and shoot, but would have loved to have a proper camera with me back then. Other good memories include coffee on the cliff at Cottesloe, and on another occasion hot chips with salt and vinegar with a friend on the beach waiting for the sun to plop. I have yet to do a search for a Quokka, but I will later- half expecting to see a Dr Seuss character!

Re: D*MNIT!!!!! A bargain hunter misses out.
Thanks Les, but I wasn't really in the market for one- just that the one I mentioned was a killer deal. He might as well have been giving it away. I also probably should mention to you (before one of the fellas devours you) that there is thing on the list not to post live eBay auctions unless they're your own. It's something to do with the fact that someone else on the list may have been watching that one quietly hoping to score a bargain (telling the list would spoil his opps).

A VHS or DVD (PAL) of the 1985 Gregory Hines/ Mikhail Baryshnikov movie White Nights Although.. if for some reason Sigma chooses to recall my 28-70 2.8 for focusing problems with the ist D (been talking with someone with a similar problem, who's been talking with other someones with similar problems- regarding the ist D shooting in AV at 2.8 with this lens not changing focus points when changing aperture? I'm still trying to get my head around it..) and pays me the AUD950 I paid for it back then, I'd be tempted to have a play with the Maxxum 7D.. Oh where was I.. Rightio..3 months with CR Kennedy???

No, Don, it is just that the double stroke L on the camera looks abit like IL.
