thanks guys. I've set up a seat by the letterbox!
Bo - I went with the Tamron largely because of price though all the reviews seem to view it favourably compared to the Sigma.
Mill - sorry mate - hectic at this end of town - perhaps best I just post to you.
nico - here's hoping they send it to the right one of us!
Neale - if I pull out all that electronic guff I'm sure I can get a good ol' roll of film in there
