Hello Andrew,

> 1. Any that I've got for sale!  :)
What do you have for sale?

> How wide?
Currently my only wide lens is a Sigma 28mm 2.8 w/52mm thread. I took some 
photos with it last weekend with a polarizer attached, first time on this 
lens, and got some slight vignetting. I'm thinking about getting a wider 
lens, and was wondering if this gets worse the wider you get?

Thanks,
Darin
