bargain D700 on eBay ending in 45mins and counting

Unfortunately though I'm reliably informed that if I buy another camera I'll be having a sex change operation on the kitchen table courtesy of the other half....

I'd love one as well, but at £1422 and rising I think it may have just popped out of the 'bargain' bracket

I'm confident the post surgery stitching will be neat - she's a midwife...

I saw the second one earlier and had wondered whether it was taken with the 10-20mm! Just shows what the lens is capable of in the right hands! Top shots - well done!

cheers

tbh I am surprised how sharp it is wide open -- these lenses seem to be very variable in quality -- this is an excellent one.

Interesting Victorian Gothic-type builidng - what is it?

I thought so too. I recently used a Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 in a studio. It too has a variable reputation. I found it slower to focus and it hunted sometimes but excellent images and as razor sharp as my Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 - I was well impressed.
