Mark - I'm astonished by the ongoing sequence of high quality lenses that you regularly offer in excellent condition. Quite a few Forum members must own one. I don't suppose you once owned a photographic shop that specialised in lenses, and you're still clearing the stock?

Hi Adrian, no I just like having good lenses but keep veering in and out of the hobby.
I keep trying to give up but just can`t seem to do it or find anything to replace it with I enjoy as much, also the nice contacts etc with all the cine people etc etc.
Only selling bits as a real cash crisis in the family in the next village.
I might start on my Vinyl picture discs next, too much hoarding I suppose.
Trying to keep some cine though.
Just mulling over selling my last 16mm 1.4 20mm lens.

Hi Mark - thanks for the insight. I sometimes wish I could give up chocolate, but at least it's a fairly inexpensive vice!
I can imagine that it must sometimes be painful to see such nice lenses and other equipment go, but the plus side is that you're clearly very good at replacing it every so often with items of similar quality.
