ahhh...so that's where I have been going wrong! I thought I heard/read/picked up along the way to have it an exposure stop or two under 0! I'll try again and ensure it's bang on. Thanks Troy.

At this stage I have an appointment with a bank manager to look at loans for a range of things for the house, including the new camera and lenses. If that doesn't work out and I'm not happy with his terms, I might wait until after the Christmas rush and exercise a bit of consumer conservatism.

Once I consider the warranty issues, your 100mm lens might be on the cards then if you are still parting with it.
