This is a very expensive lens, or it used to be when it was still made. I got the last one I think, of the DK stock. It was the last holdout of the last batch imported and I think it has been sold a few times and sent back. I would have sent it back also, had I paid the full price, about £900, but I found it at £250 so that was a nobrainer. It suffers from zoom crawl pointing it upwards it cannot hold the zoomed out position and it is, I think a bit softer at the wide end at a couple meters than it should be. But the overall quality of the image this lens produces is very likable. It renders a warm tone, good contrast, creamy bokeh and it looks good so what is there to complain about. A little AF adjustment on my K5 and I am very happy.

I paid £300 for the 300WS unit with battery and a 70cm Beauty Dish. 

This beast gets a big fat checkmark slapped across each single bullet point. There is so much glass packed into this baby it is a joy to open the 9 bladed aperture with a finger and looking through.

The 35mm Boom Clamp is made from aluminium with rubber inserts to get a grip on the 220cm pole. It isadvisable to get a sturdy stand to use with this setup as both the pole and clamp are strong enough that you would only find it out of balance when you let go of the stand. 

The timing was just right with regard to the colouration of the foliage as all the leaves were yellow and red though still attached to their respective trees. In sweden they have real forrests. Not the scrawny stamp sized wannabees where you once or twice can fools yourself into beleiving you are in natures wild grip untill 10 paces later when you align your eyes to the lines trees that where planted in neat rows just like mother nature never ever does. In sweden you actually apreciate the pathways because these woods have no rows at all of any kind.
