To me it appears the seller was having problems with it recently and decided it was time to offload it. I may be cynical but that is what it looks like to me. Anyway Keith, I am glad you have had it fixed and I hope you get some great shots with it.
all the best,

Cheers all, I did contact the seller whom gave me £100 towards the repair so i dont hold any grudges, i should have tried it first so have to take some responsibility towards it!
At the moment i am still struggling to get anything decent out of it but a weekend with David Tipling this coming weekend should hopefully help?
I will keep you all posted.

Good news then Keith...and yes do keep us posted on the results you get.....and hopefully some cracking sharp shots.

Best of luck,

Geoff
