My bank account is also unhappy and it’s a FL that wasn’t on my radar. But it’ll allow me to play in new genres. At that price you can’t go wrong. You’d sell it at a profit any day

Well....... it’s far cheaper new now than a used one later

Mines at home. I wonder if they just used new stock to fulfill the orders. It was odd they managed to source more ex-demo stock so quickly.

Brand new lens arrived with me too. Nice.Apparently for Park Ex-Demo can also mean overstock or demo stock that has never been out to a customer so essentially new!
I received mine today and it definitely looks brand new. All the accessories were still wrapped and there wasn't a mark or fingerprint on the lens as far as I could see.
It makes a nice change from the last "ex-demo" item I purchased online. That netbook (remember those?) arrived with a cracked hinge and missing key on the keyboard.
The perfect condition almost makes me uncomfortable. It's actually the first "new" lens I've bought for quite a while. I normally favour buying cosmetically damaged lenses, both because they're cheaper and because the extra scuffs and scratches that I end up adding won't bother me.
From quickly testing it in my garden it looks like it'll be a good lens for shooting butterflies, especially with the 1.4TC increasing the magnification to 0.28x. I'll have to take it out this weekend while there are still some around in the UK.

Lucky that you live for this in the U.K. ... I ordered it before but they did not want to send it to NL.

Can someone familiar with this lens confirm the type of tripod mount ?
Is it like the 100-400 where the mount is a "foot" tacked onto the body of the lens, or is it a proper concentric collar that allows portrait/landscape options ?

Mine has arrived this morning. I dunno about "ex demo" mine looks like it's never been out of the box?!
Anyway, it's thrown up a question for me, which I asked in a NEW THREAD regarding OIS and IBIS on Olympus bodies. Any input on my new thread appreciated.
