I have the DA14mm, which is awesome and works beautifully on the D/DS bodies. It was the only lens I bought with the camera, my "kit" lens. If you really must have that wide a field of view for a 24x36mm camera (I had a 15mm once and found I only very rarely used such an ultrawide), and can

Also (and I think that's too in Ebay's rules) the feedback should take into account how *both* partners handle possible complaints. If I (as a seller) provide feedback immediately after I ship the goods I cannot do this. If a buyer has a problem with what he received from me I certainly do my best

The hidden feedback is a good idea. Sellers also have the problem, not just buyers. If they give honest bad feedback to a buyer who was slow to pay, or gave the seller a hard time, then the buyer might get revenge by posting bad feedback in return, even if the seller completed his end of the

Yes this is a problem. I am in this situation myself as a buyer of sub-standard goods. I think a hidden feedback system would be better where the feedback was only revealed once both parties had submitted their feedback. If only one party submitted then after a certain time limit the feedback wo

I saw this firm advertising the DA 16-45 on eBay. A few weeks ago I contacted them to ask if they could get me the DA 14. They said 'sure' and quoted me a very low price. I don't recall what it was, but it was about what they are now asking on eBay. The price made me suspicious, so I told them
