Nice! Very tempted to get 135L myself. The Bokeh is sublime. Just not sure if it's sensible as I already own a 100L macro.

A fabulous lens
Needs some Spokey Dokeys to be truly cool
Still way nicer than the Raleigh Burner i had as a kidThat thing weighed around 3 tons
wish i had a raleigh burner now there worth a small fortune if you have a original
It is fantastic, must admit. Bit tight indoors, but fantastic out and about. Can't wait for the weather to get better.
Yeah, I bought it on a whim, well chuffed.
Didn't they do a re-issue a few years back (maybe 5-6 years)? I quite fancied one. I still miss I think it was a Mongoose BMX with Skyways white mags. Swapped it for an air pistol with my mate. Wonder what the hell I did with that?
I thought about going to that show on Sunday, just to look at the bikes on show.
Was that part of the show pretty good, or mainly trade stands and autojumble?

Awesome lens, I got one recently myself, love it for portraits but havent done much else with it yet. General consensus is that its great for sports type stuff too. Enjoy it
Mostly trade and auto jumble but there are a few bikes that really make it worth it tbh. It's a tenner to get in - thirteen on the door. I suppose it depends if there's something you're after or if you want some eye candy.

I will be at this one because it's 1/2 mile from my house - http://staffordshirebikeshow.co.uk/
This will be the third time and it's been very successful.
Free entry also, well it has been the last two times.

Bought this for £430 to be a temporary car whilst I sell my XF and buy a house!
Should last me a couple of months I hope
I was looking for a cheap motor to let me do the sale quickly, but kinda got this by accident...C'est la vie!

Bloody nice for £430. I bet it's been to the moon and back though?

Could be far worse!
Spent £60 getting the existing owner to replace the windscreen on his insurance

When I heard Bruno Mars utter the phrase "smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy", like many Brits I was flummoxed, even once I actually worked out what Skippy was. I had no point of reference, other than our own equivalents such as Sunpat Peanut Butter. I have now resolved this by purchasing a fresh jar of Skippy, and can confirm that it is very smooth. Things that are smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy are very smooth things indeed.

It's full of sugar and other rubbish, the only peanut butter worth anything is meridian nothing but peanuts
Whole foods make it fresh from peanuts or other nuts, even better.
