Those prices are way high even by UK standards. The 80 f4 usually sells at
around UKP300, the 135 a bit less. The 38 and 20 are much rarer and more
specialized, but you'd be a fool to pay that much. You could get a new 90f2,
inc shipping, from John H. for a good deal less than 899. In my experience,
jessops are a poor bet for 2nd hand, over-priced and under-informed .

What mag. does that give, Walt? Any vignetting? I guess it would extend the
working difference a little without the extension.

Adam (still saving for any of the above, currently 'stacking' lenses
instead)
